God has said in the Quran:
“Those who have disbelieved and died in
disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if one
offered it as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have
no helpers.” (Quran 3:91)
So, this life is our only chance to win Paradise and to escape from Hellfire, because if someone dies in disbelief, he will not
have another chance to come back to this world to believe. As God has said in
the Quran about what is going to happen for the unbelievers on the Day of
Judgment:
“If you could but see when they are set
before the Fire (Hell) and say, “Would that we might return (to the world)!
Then we would not reject the verses of our Lord, but we would be of the
believers!” (Quran 6:27)
But no one will have this second opportunity.
The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and
blessings of God be upon him, said: “The happiest man in the world of those
doomed to the Fire (Hell) on the Day of Judgment will be dipped in the Fire
once. Then he will be asked, ‘Son of Adam, did you ever see any good? Did you
ever experience any blessing?’ So he will say, ‘No, by God, O Lord!’”
