====3. The Promise and the Threat [''al-wa'd wa l-wa'id'']====
This comprised questions of the Last day, or in Arabic, the [[Qiyamah]] ([[Judgment Day|Day of Judgment]]). According to 'Abd al-Jabbar,{{sfn|Martin|1997|page=65-6}} The doctrine of irreversible Divine promises and warnings, is fashioned out the Islamic philosophy of human existence. Humans, (or ''insan'' in Arabic) are created with an innate need in their essence to submit themselves to something. Also, it is seen as an innate need of all humans to pursue an inner peace and contentment within the struggles of an imperfect world. Knowledge of God, truth, and choices, in relation to one's innate need of submission is seen in Islam as the promise and recompense of God (''al-thawab'') to those who follow. His warning is looked at as a conscious decision by a human submitting themselves, and choosing a varying principle which he had given a clear warning to. He will not go back on his word, nor can he act contrary to his promise and warning, nor lie in what he reports, in contrast to what the Postponers ([[Murjites]]) hold.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":1" />
