Dear
readers,
After
reckoning is completed on the judgment day, good people will take their place
in the paradise while bad people will go to the hell:
“Faith”
will be the most important thing on the judgment day. Those who have even a
modicum of faith in their hearts will be treated well while unbelievers and
those who reject the truth and deny Allah (swt) and His Messenger will not be
esteemed, they will be punished eternally, and no mercy will be shown to them.
# The situation of deniers
This
is explained in the following Quranic verses:
“Taste ye then - for ye forgot the
Meeting of this Day of yours, and We too will forget you - taste ye the
Chastisement of Eternity for your (evil) deeds!”
[Sajdah, 14]
“They are those who deny the Signs
of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain
will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any
weight.”
[Kahf, 105]
“But the Unbelievers,- their deeds
are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the man parched with thirst mistakes
for water; until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: but he
finds Allah there, and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in
taking account.” [Nur, 39]
“This is (true) Guidance and for
those who reject the Signs of their Lord, is a grievous Chastisement of
abomination.” [Jathiya, 11]
“And if any believe not in Allah
and His Messenger, We have prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing
Fire!” [Fath, 13]
“But those who reject Faith and
belie Our Signs, they shall be companions of the Fire; they shall abide
therein.”
[Baqarah, 39]
# Faith is the key to salvation both in the world and also in the afterworld
Undoubtedly,
the key to salvation both in the world and also in the afterworld is “faith”.
Good deeds performed by unbelievers will be of no use in the afterworld.
“The parable of those who reject
their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously
on a tempestuous day:” [Ibrahim, 18]
“And if any of you turn back from
their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life
and in the Hereafter.” [Baqarah, 217]
Mundane
riches will also be useless for the afterworld.
“Those who reject Faith,- neither
their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them aught against
Allah. They will be companions of the Fire,- dwelling therein (for ever).” [Al Imran, 116]
“As to those who reject Faith,- if
they had everything on earth, and twice repeated, to give as ransom for the
penalty of the Day of Judgment, it would never be accepted of them, theirs
would be a grievous penalty.”
[Maida, 36]
# On that day, efforts for salvation by unbelievers will be wasted
On
the judgment day, efforts for salvation by unbelievers will be wasted.
“Their wish will be to get out of
the Fire, but never will they get out therefrom: their penalty will be one that
endures.” [Maida, 37]
In
fact, they will want to be soil, but even that will not be possible.
“and the Unbeliever will say, 'Woe
unto me! Would that I were (mere) dust!'” [Nabaa, 40]
Dear
readers, there will be an intermediate zone called purgatory between the
paradise, which is the place of award, and the hell, which is the place of
punishment on the judgment day. This zone is described in the Qur'an in the
following way:
When their eyes shall be turned towards the Companions of the Fire, they will say: "Our Lord! send us not to the company of the wrong-doers."
The men on the Heights will call to certain men whom they will know from their marks, saying: "Of what profit to you were your hoards and your arrogant ways?” [A'raf, 46-48]
# On that day, mercy will only be to those who have had faith in Allah and done good deeds
On
the judgment day, Allah (swt) will show mercy only to those who have had faith
in Allah and performed good deeds, avoided what is forbidden, and those who did
not skimp but gave zakats.
“'And
ordain for us that which is good, in this life and in the Hereafter: for we
have turned unto Thee.' He said: I afflict on whom I will; but My mercy extended
to all things. That (mercy) I shall ordain for those who do right, and pay
Zakat, and those who believe in Our signs;-” [Araf, 156]
Those
who were not arrogant but believed in Allah (swt) and His Messenger and
performed good deeds will both possess all the blessings and favors in this
world and also reach unlimited blessings in the afterworld in proportion to the
good deeds that they performed:
“Not equal are the Companions of
the Fire and the Companions of the Garden: it is the Companions of the Garden,
that will achieve Felicity.”
[Hashr, 20]
“But those who have faith and work
righteousness, they are companions of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For
ever).” [Baqarah, 82]
“But those who believe and do
deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing
beneath,- their eternal home: Therein shall they have spouses purified: We
shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening.” [Nisa, 57]
# Deniers must know the treatment that they will be subjected to
Dear
readers,
Believe
me that I would be lying if I said I did not feel shudder while I was sorting
the tens of Quranic verses above which describe the eternal agonies that
deniers will suffer on the judgment day. Here, the purpose of your powerless
brother is not to spread fear and terror to the hearts of people. I just try to
explain “faith” and the importance
that our Rab attaches to it. Our Master the Prophet said:
“When you talk about your Rab, do
not mention things which will cause fear!” [Bayhaqi]
“Make Allah’s servants love Him so
that Allah, in turn, loves you!” [Tabarani]
But
is not it necessary that those unbelievers clearly know the treatment that they
will find in the afterworld?
Either
believer or unbeliever, everyone should certainly fear very much their Rab who
created them, who cannot be prevented from doing anything He wants to do, and
who is the unique owner of all kinds of powers and forces. Our Master the
Prophet explained:
“Among all of you, I am the one who
fears Allah (swt) the most.” [Bukhari]
“The fear of Allah is the start of
all wisdom.”
[Tabarani]
“A big fear of Allah (swt) means big
intelligence.”
[I. Muhbar]
“If you sufficiently feared Allah,
you would have a good wisdom.” [Ibn
Sunni]
“One who weeps out of God’s fear
will not go to the hell.” [Tirmidhi]
“As for one whose heart feels tremble
due to the fear of Allah, their sins will fall just like leaves falling from
trees.” [Bayhaqi]
“All of the pious avoiding from the
harams for fear of Allah will go to the Paradise without a reckoning.” [Tabarani]
# Allah (swt) possesses unlimited mercy and compassion
Although
a believer fears his Rab much, they will also never lose their hope from His
mercy. It is explained in the verses:
"O my Servants who have transgressed
against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all
sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
[Zumar, 53]
Hadiths
provide us with the following information:
“If a believer knew the severity of
Allah’s wrath, they would not hope the Paradise, and if an unbeliever knew the
infinity of Allah’s mercy, they would not lose their hope of the Paradise.” [Muslim]
“Allah’s mercy to believers is more
than a mother’s mercy to her child.” [Bukhari]
“Allah (swt) will prohibit the Hell
for those who recite, La ilahe illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah”. [Bukhari]
“Allah (swt) will forgive so many
people as no one can guess on the judgment day. Even Satan will hope that he
might be forgiven.” [Ibn Abiddunya]
“I am Allah; there is no god but me.
My mercy exceeds my wrath. One who acknowledges that there are no gods but Allah
and that Mohammed is His servant and messenger will go to the Paradise.” [Daylami]
# Those who deserve the Paradise will not experience sorrow
Our
Rab has infinite mercy. Do not you see that although unbelievers commit all
kinds of vulgarities against Allah (swt) every day, He patiently waits until
their last breath for them to repent? But they will not find the same mercy in
the afterworld. Only believers will be treated with mercy there.
Believers
will be blessed by having Allah’s assistance and support in all moments in the
world and they will also have the same in the afterworld in proportion to their
faith, and they will be provided with a great favor and beneficence. Even those
who have a modicum of faith in their heart will take their share from this
support.
No
one will be treated unjustly there, unbelievers will be directly sent to the
hell while believers will eventually be awarded in the paradise after suffering
a punishment in the rate of their sins. As for the blessings of the paradise:
“The paradise contains blessings
which no one has seen, heard of, or even imagined.” [Muslim]
“Only a name similarly exists
between the blessings in the paradise and those in the world.” [Bayhaqi]
“Dwellers of the paradise will never
get sick or aged; they will never feel sorrow but be always joyful.” [Muslim]
# The greatest happiness of believers: The Sight (Ruyatullah)
Dear
readers, although an eternal paradise life where one reaches all their desires
is a great award for believers, the main happiness for them will be to see
their Rab who they had always desired to see in the world but failed.
Unbelievers will be destitute of this great happiness too. The sight is a
right.
“Verily, from (the Light of) their
Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.”
[Mutaffifin, 15]
Our
Master the Prophet stated:
“As you can see the full moon, you
will clearly see your Rab on the judgment day.” [Bukhari]
Dear
readers, as you all know, Allah (swt) is free of all temporal and spatial
limitations. And only He can know how He will manifest without such limitations
in the afterworld. Valued scholars of our religion stated that everyone will
see Allah (swt) in the afterworld to the extent in which they remembered Him in
the world. So let us remember Him much in the world so that we will see Him
much in the afterworld.
May
our Lord make us one of those who He pleases with His paradise in the eternal
world.
Be entrusted to Allah.
