4.2. THE LEVELS OF THE PEOPLE PERTAINING TO BELIEF IN THE HEREAFTER
The people are of three levels (darajat) concerning what they know about the affairs of the Hereafter:
• THE FIRST of the levels is the knowledge they have that the Messengers informed them of, and whatever stands as evidence of its existence.
• THE SECOND level is when they have witnessed what they have been promised of reward, punishment, Paradise and Hell.
• THE THIRD level is when they experience it. So the people of Paradise enter Paradise and taste what they have been promised, and the people of the Hellfire enter the Hellfire and taste what they have been promised.
So as it pertains to what is in the heart, and what is outside it, the people are of these three levels.
