3 o Islam<br />
the mountains shall be like carded 'wool of 'various<br />
driven by the wind ;<br />
colours<br />
moreover, he 'whose balance shall be<br />
heavy with good works shall lead a pleasing life ; but as<br />
to him 'whose balance shall be light his dwelling shall be<br />
the pit of<br />
hell. What shall make thee to understand how<br />
frightful the pit of hell is It is a burningJlre."<br />
Much has been said and written about the<br />
Judgment<br />
Muslim Paradise, and there are indeed no<br />
weak as those which<br />
parts of the Quran so<br />
dwell upon the sweets of the future life of the<br />
Faithful. Serious Mussulmans, when on<br />
rare occasions 1 have heard them refer to<br />
this subject, have invariably explained these<br />
as symbolical. However that<br />
passages<br />
may be, the passages<br />
in the Quran which<br />
teach of the day of resurrection and of<br />
judgment are frequent and solemn. No<br />
doubt the judgment of God is used as a<br />
threat against D unbelievers, but it is also<br />
continually addressed to the Faithful as<br />
a motive ;<br />
and these teachings have, as I<br />
believe, far greater influence upon<br />
the life<br />
of the religious<br />
Muslim than all the promised<br />
joys<br />
of Paradise.
