ABSTRACT
The Qur'an deals with two worlds, the natural world we live in, and the Other world starting at the Resurrection Day. The knowledgeable people, according to the Qur’an, accept and acknowledge the inevitability of using the language of the natural world to describe the Other world, without going into circular arguments, knowing it is figurative. The allegorical language also applies to descriptions of God, since by definition of the Qur’an (Surah 112), God is outside our language as there is nothing equivalent to Him. In Surah 74:35 it is described as one of the great forewarnings to humans, irrespective of whether one has chosen to follow (go forward) or to disregard (lag behind) the divine call (Surah 74:36). Having said this, the language used is not all bluff. This brings us back to the starting point about the use of the language of this world to describe something out of this world which is completely beyond our imagination.
