You seen the after effects from Sodom and Gomorrah, and various other acts of God as described in the Scriptures, parting of the Red Seas, etc This one we don’t know, but its our belief same as Christians, we all die, resurrected and Judged, some here say we self judge and heaven and hell is in our minds – I’m open minded about the unseen – but the Qur’an describes what is in Heaven and how Hell will be like – virtual or real – we’ll all know one day belief and not truth. The only way to know what you say is to know absolute truth and you will probably be the first to achieve that. Yes but we believe enough is truth to try to change our characters to a more moral and virtuous life rather than following our own vices or ones marketed to us. Agree we don’t have all the knowledge
