"The punishments of the other world... consist in being deprived of the special divine blessings and the absolute bounties, and falling into the lowest degrees of existence. He who is deprived of these divine favors, although he continues after death, is considered as dead by the people of truth." (Bwf 325) (89:7) "Likewise the rewards of the other world are the eternal life which is clearly mentioned in all the Holy Books, the divine perfections, the eternal bounties, and everlasting felicity. The rewards of the other world are the perfections and the peace obtained in the spiritual worlds after leaving this world." (Bwf 324) (89:8) "'On the Day of Judgment, when men stand before their Lord, they will not be questioned as to their education and the degree of their culture-- rather will they be examined as to their good deeds.'" (Sdc 102) (89:9) "The loftiest mansions in the Realm of Immortality have been ordained as the habitation of them that have truly believed in God and in His signs. Death can never invade that holy seat." (Gl 141)
(89:10)
