There is no denying the fact that this worldly life is but a temporary abode for the man, for it has to come to an end and a new life for all living and dead earlier will begin on and after the Day of Resurrection. Though atheists and many other do not believe in the life of the Hereafter, yet the reality will unfold one day when their arguments against it happening will be blown in the air and they will have to be made accountable for their weird ideas and disbelief in One True God and His decision to end the earthly life and make every soul that ever lived since Prophet Adam (may peace be upon him).
In Qur'an, Allah warns the man of this day to happen when every soul will be fully repaid of his good or bad deeds. We have already shared a number of posts on the subject. In this post, we have compiled all earlier posted posts about Resurrection for consultation and to serve as a ready reckoner:
- Fear the Day when no intercession will be accepted and no one will be ransomed (Surah 2. Al-Baqara:48)
- Fear the Day when Every Soul will Be Fully Repaid for his Deeds - good or evil (Surah 2. Al-Baqara:281)
- Allah calls you to the abode of peace (Surah 10. Yunus:25)
- Who will feel intense remorse on the Day of Judgment? (Surah 10. Yunus:54)
- Divine Chastisement (Surah 13. Ar-Ra'd:11)
- Who shall be raised BLIND on the Day of Resurrection (Surah 20. Ta Ha: 124)
- The worldly life is mere amusement. The true life is in the Hereafter; if only they knew (Surah 29. Al-Ankabut:64)
- The Day when hands will speak and feet shall bear witness to their evil deeds (Surah 36. Ya-Sin:65)
- The day when even the mightiest will surrender (Surah 37. As-Saffat: 26)
- Surrender yourselves to your Lord before the chastisement over-takes you (Surah 39. Az-Zumar:54)
- Beware before sudden penalty befalls while you perceive not (Surah 39. Az-Zumar:55-58)
- The Fate of those whose conduct sheet will be handed over in their Left Hand (Surah 69. Al-Haqqa: 25-37)
- Who shall live honourably in the Gardens (of Paradise) (Surah 70. Al-Ma'arij: 35)
- Whom would Allah procure freshness and joy on Day of Resurrection (Surah 76. Ad Dahr: 11)
May we be warned and fear the day which is bound to happen and continously seek forgiveness of our sins and bad deeds and reach out to those whom we have wronged and ask for their forgiveness, lest it is too late!!
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
