In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.

In verse 43:66-71 of the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind this question: are the disbelievers waiting for the Hour that is to say they are in fact awaiting nothing; but the Hour should come upon them all of a sudden while they perceive not? On the Day of Judgment, friends in sin in this world, will be foes and will go to Hell while friends in faith in this world will keep their sincere friendship and will dwell in the Paradise forever.
