<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
as stated earlier, because all the information that you have about the<br />
world is conveyed to you by your five senses, and because you have<br />
such a dependency on your senses and no information pertaining to<br />
this image is kept in your memory, you do not see such a scene. This<br />
is true of everything you experience in life. The day you enrolled in<br />

and future. This actually poses a major hindrance to their grasp of<br />
particular events like the existence of the hereafter, when and where<br />
Paradise, Hell and the Day of Judgment will take place. They cannot<br />
relate the concept of time in the Sight of Allah to the concept of time<br />
people are bound by. However, knowing that every living being,<br />
every event and everything is created eternally square by square<br />
