  2. The first subject is the 'Resurrection' and the contrast between the destinies of the Good and the Evil in the 'Hereafter'.
  3. The second subject is 'Monotheism' with reference to the creation of the sky, the earth, and the mountains. The man should consider these wonderful matters as admonishments.
