<h2 class="title">The Blessings of the Hereafter for the humble Believers</h2><p>Allah tells us that He has made the home of the Hereafter, and its eternal delights which will never change or fade away, for His believing, humble servants who do not rebel against the truth with pride and oppression in the land.
