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

All that exists in the universe is mortal in essence, and will perish on the eve of Qayamah. However, eternity is for Allah-SWT Who-SWT is Magnificent and Glorious, not dependent upon anyone for His-SWT Being and His-SWT Attributes. Rather, He-SWT is the Owner of such munificence that the entire creation survives because of His-SWT Generosity and Benevolence. Then which of His-SWT favours will mankind and Jinn ignore?

 

Each and every creation of His-SWT , be it celestial or terrestrial, is all the time dependent on Him-SWT for all its needs and it is from Him-SWT that all of them constantly seek help. Each day, every passing moment manifests multiple facets of His-SWT Magnificence, and His-SWT endowments continue to flow. Then how can such generosity be denied, O mankind and Jinn? Both of you are accountable creatures who have to face Reckoning. Soon the entire Universal System will end; your demands vis-a-vis Our-SWT blessings sustaining the world will be no more. It will be only Me-SWT and you; your conduct will be evaluated. So when you have to inevitably face this accountability, how can you deny His-SWT Magnificence?

 

If you think that you can get out of His-SWT Universal System or flee beyond the regions of the heavens and earth, you may try. Even if you do, you cannot escape His-SWT Control. In fact, you cannot even cross beyond the limits of this universe. A definite power is required to do this which only Allaah-SWT can endow. The movements of angels, the Holy Prophet-SW’s journey unto the celestial world and the rising up of the blessed Arwah are all by His-SWT Command. Nobody can do anything at his own or by way of disobedience. So then how many of His-SWT blessings will you twain deny?

 

Denial and disobedience invoke punishments in the form of burning flames and clouds of smoke, which will char the body and choke out breath. And the sky will be rent asunder and turned red. So when such a moment is drawing near, why do you persist in ingratitude? On that Day there will be no need to ask any Jinn or human being what wrongs they had committed, for He-SWT already Knows their doings. They will carry their Registers of Conduct with them. The only question will be why they had acted wrongfully. May Allaah-SWT spare us this questioning and bless us with His-SWT Clemency and Forgiveness! How many a favours by Allaah-SWT will they the twain deny?

 

Those convicted will have their faces distorted in a manner that the angels assigned will identify them which category of Hell each of them belongs and where should they be dumped. They will drag some by their legs and others by their forelocks. It will be pronounced that the Hell hitherto refuted by the wrongdoers is right before them. These wretched souls will wander amidst blazing flames and boiling waters. So O' mankind and Jinn! Which of these realities can you overlook?
