In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

Allah-SWT swears by the Mount Tur, famous for Prophet Musa-AS's dialogue with Allaah-SWT and a custodian of the Barakah that generate the spiritual states attending it. It bears witness to the Scripture inscribed on broad scrolls, that is, the Quran. Some scholars suggest that it alludes to the Register of Conduct wherein human deeds are inscribed and to Bait-e-M'amur, K'abah of the Angels in the 7th heaven, visited by an angel only once in life. This sky like the high roof and the surging seas, rather the entire universe is witness to the inevitability of reprisal on infidelity and evil. The promised Divine punishment must befall and no one can avert it.

 

All the above natural phenomena carry certain results in themselves. How can it then be possible that human conduct shall not bear any? Rather on the Day of Qayamah, the heavens will rock and the mountains will drift away. In other words, everything will begin to perish and shall eventually disappear. Woe be unto those who make fun of this Day, in sport. They will be pushed towards the Hell and told to comment whether it is a magic or a reality. It will not matter whether they scream and yell or remain patient as this is the world of retribution and not respite. And the bondmen of Allah-SWT will be enjoying the bounties of Jannah, availing its fruits in peace, reclining comfortably on couches facing one another and having the most beautiful damsels in Jannah as spouses.

 

 

Barakah of the Believers and the Pious


 

Those who persevered on faith as a family will be rewarded with high stations in Jannah. Even if the members of a family qualify for a lesser grade, they will be upgraded to join their parents. Conversely, says the Holy Prophet-SW, the noble children will become a source of elevation in the grades of their parents This upgrading will be commensurate to the noble deeds but there will be no downgrading for the purpose of such adjustments. Every soul will be justly requited, though obviously the infidels will not avail this facility.

 

The dwellers of Jannah will be served their favourite foods in plenty, drinks pure delicious, pleasant and non intoxicating. They shall engage in pensive discourses and recollect how they were always scared of the Akhirah despite living leisurely amidst their families. But Allah-SWT's generosity favoured them immensely and rescued them from the scorching winds of Hell. They had always invoked Allaah-SWT in prayer and had worshipped only Him-SWT . It was by His-SWT Grace that they had abstained from polytheism and He-SWT , in turn, relented with great mercy.
