===Afterlife===

The afterlife, the resurrection of the dead, and [[Judgement Day]] are topics of great importance throughout the Qur'an, and they received memorable treatment, particularly in the early Meccan surahs."<ref>Ernst, Carl W. (2011). How to Read the Qur'an: A New Guide, with Select Translations. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. 83.</ref> In the Ornaments of Gold, verses 57 through 89 declare the imminent Judgment Day. “This Quran is knowledge for the Hour: do not doubt it, Follow Me for this is the right path” ('''61''').<ref name="Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel 2005"/> This section tells of an afterlife for the believers that is full “dishes and goblets of gold” ('''71'''),<ref name="Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel 2005"/> joy and a garden of bountiful fruit to eat ('''73''').<ref name="Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel 2005"/> It affirms that believers and their spouses will “enter Paradise” ('''70''').<ref name="Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel 2005"/> Disbelievers, on the other hand, “will suffer the torment of a grievous day” ('''65''').<ref name="Haleem, M.A.S. Abdel 2005"/> This section can be identified as an eschatological prophecy, a common pattern throughout the surahs of the Quran, including The Ornaments of Gold, that “juxtapose[s] the situation of the believers in the garden of paradise with that of the disbelievers or evildoers suffering in the tribulations of the fire of hell."<ref>Neuwirth, Angelika.
