At another place the wicked have been addressed: الهيكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُه حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَه كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ عَلا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ كَلَّا لَو تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ لَتَرُونَ الْجَحِيمَ ثُمَّ لتَرُونَهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ ، ثُمَّ لَتُسْلُنَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيوه 184. The excessive desire of worldly possessions prevented you from seeking the hereafter till you reached the graves. Do not be enamoured of this world. You will soon come to know that it is wrong to fall in love with this world. I remind you that you will soon come to know that it is no use loving this world. If only you knew with certainty, you would surely see hell in this very life. . Then in the world of Barzakh you will see it with the eyes of certainty. Then, at the time of resurrection, you will have to face full accountability, and that Divine chastisement will overtake you and you will come to know of the hell, not theoretically but practically. [Islāmi Uşūl ki Philosophy, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 10, pp. 400-402]. The second insight which the Holy Qur'an has set forth with regard to the life after death is that in the hereafter all those matters that were spiritual in this world will be physically personified whether in the state of Barzakh or in the state of resurrection. One of the relevant verses is: 185 مَنْ كَانَ فِي هَذِةٍ أَعْمَى فَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أَعْمَى وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً. He who is blind in this life shall be blind in the hereafter. 184.
