    Allah, exalted is His mention, says: Allah knows what is before His angels and messengers, before He created them, and what is behind them — He says: and He knows what will be after their perishing. وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الأمُورُ ("And to Allah the affairs are returned") — He says: to Allah, in the Hereafter, the affairs of the worldly life return, and to Him they turn back, just as their beginning proceeded from Him.
