Allah tells him to rise and to face him.
Allah tells him because of his faith and prayer that he will answer two questions of him...
"Oh Allah, please tell me, will we peacefully elect a leader of Palestine now that Yassir Arafat has pased away and went to be with you in Heaven?
ALLAH replies, "No, not in YOUR lifetime".
The next question is then asked...
"Oh Allah, please tell me, will we ever drive the JEW from Israel?
ALLAH replies, "No, not in MY lifetime".
