This article discusses the following issues: 1) the friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow, 2) the Atheists gave nasty names to the Prophet Muhammad, 3) The ever-best word that all the messengers and prophets from Noah to Jesus have said and 4) What is man’s password to log in Paradise.

In Surah 37, the verses 27-32 describe a dramatic scene that will happen to the friends among the Atheists today.
In conclusion, the verses say that:
The friendly Atheists today = the enemies tomorrow
The verses say that the Atheists today are notable prideful leaders and their careless followers. Both groups are very friendly in the life of this world.
Nevertheless, how they are on the Day of Judgment when they behold the truth that they used to deny in this life?
Would be still friends?
No
The careless foolish followers among the Atheists will blame the notable prideful leaders as being the cause of their astray and loss!
Then, what the notable prideful leaders say to them?
They will say:
Both you and we are in the same position, deserving of Allah’s punishment for not heeding the warnings. You joined us because of your propensity to follow error. We did nothing to you; instead, you followed us in our error.
Then, what Allah promised both of them?
The verses 37:33-39 say:
They on that day, the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, will share in the chastisement, for they shared in the error. Both are sharers in the doom.
Lo! Thus, Allah deal with the sinners
We chastise both of them the followers and those who were followed (the leaders).
For when it was said unto them in the life of the world, say: “There is no God save Allah”, they were:
Scornful
Too proud to say it
Not only that, but they would say, ‘Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?
Herein they, sarcastically give names to the Prophet Muhammad as a mad poet
Shall we leave the worship of our gods (idols, pride, ego etc.) for a mad poet who invents lies?
Herein they, mockingly give another names to the Prophet Muhammad as an inventor of lies and claiming that the Quran is but lies!
Allah, exalted be He, says:
Nay, but he (Muhammad) has brought them the truth and confirmed the earlier messengers, namely, those who had also brought this truth, which is that “There is no God save Allah”
Nay, but he (Muhammad) brought the Quran and the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness, and he confirmed those sent before him and he brought a confirmation of the messengers who were sent before him.
Then what?
Allah will tell both of them on the Day of Judgment:
You shall certainly taste the painful chastisement,
Lo! Now, verily you taste the painful doom in the Eternal Fire.
Herein, in the Hereafter, Allah requites you the requital for,
What you used to believe in.
What you used to do
What you used to say
Our belief, works and sayings in this life determine our outcome in the Afterlife.

Back to the principle word of the Religion
“There is no God save Allah”
It is required that every human being has to believe and say this word.
This is the ever-best word that you can utter in this life
This word = man’s password to log in Allah’s gate
The Prophet Muhammad said:
The ever-best word I said, and the ever-best word all the messengers and prophets before me have said is “There is no God save Allah”
The entire Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Moses and Jesus said, “There is no God save Allah” and so did the last Prophet Muhammad.
In Hadith (Muhammad’ sayings):
If you put the entire universe in a pan of a balance, and you put in the other pan “There is no God save Allah”, then:
What would be the weightier?
The pan contains “There is no God save Allah” is the weightier
Be sure that without saying this word “There is no God save Allah”, man will never ever see Paradise and he is but loser!
This is a sincere gift to the smart readers.
