Allah^-SWT swears by al-Qayamah, the Day in itself evidence to its inevitability. When Allaah^-SWT created, bestowed wisdom and intellect raised the Prophets^-AS and granted free will, it is only natural to hold mankind accountable. And those who continue to assess their own behaviour and are careful not to disobey Allah^-SWT, and refrain from reckless pleasures like the infidels, are also witness to the truth of that Day and the need for reckoning.

 

Soul and its Types

---

Human soul is a by-product of Four Elements and being created from matter it is attracted by material pleasures. The Quran calls it Nafs-e-Ammarah, the Soul at Evil. When blessed with faith and the sense to distinguish between right and wrong, it engages in self-examination. And whenever it errs, it accuses itself, readily repents and worries for correction. At this stage, it is termed as Nafs-e-Lawwamah (Accusing Soul) by the Quran. And when it is purified by adherence to the Holy Prophet^-SW and his^-SW‘s Barakah to an extent that virtue becomes its second nature and sin is hated, it is called Nafs-e-Mutmainnah (Soul at Peace). May Allaah^-SWT bless all Muslims with this gift!

 

Every Person has Unique Finger-Prints

---

Has mankind assumed that once they are turned to dust after death and the bones are decomposed they will not be quickened. Allaah^-SWT is capable of remaking even the finger prints of each individual exactly as these were in the worldly life. It is incredible that the finger prints of no two persons are identical. The Quran revealed this fact centuries before science proved it. Here re-quickening has been rationally proved with reference to the first creation, when the atoms of everyone were widely scattered before birth. Through diet these finally reached the father's loins and were then transferred to the mother's womb in the form of sperm and so a multitude of human beings were created, each different from the other despite having similar physical features. It is possible that two persons may resemble, but their finger prints are absolutely different. Allaah^-SWT declares that He^-SWT will recreate even the finger prints exactly as these were before.

 

Yet man shamelessly asks His Prophet^-SW when the Day of Judgment will be? So listen O' people! When the eyes will be dazed and the sun and the moon will falloff lightless like autumn leaves. And when the infidel shall run amok terrified they will find out that there was no way to escape the Divine Court. There everyone shall read his record to know what good has been sent ahead and where he failed. Each person is aware of his situation for sure though he may pretend.

 

All these facts are revealed by the Quran. So at the time of revelation the Holy Prophet^-SW need not hasten to read and memorize. Rather when Angel Jibril^-AS has read, he should just repeat it. It is upon Allaah^-SWT to store it in his memory for subsequent recitation. Moreover to expound its interpretation through word of mouth is also upon Him^-SWT .

 

Rules: (1) When Imam is reciting the Quran during congregational Salat, the followers must keep quiet. (2) Conveying the text of the Quran as well as its interpretation is the Holy Prophet^-SW assignment. No one else is authorized to do it at his own free will.

 

Beholding Allah^-SWT in the Field of Reckoning

---

The infidels are engrossed in the mundane pleasures, oblivious of the Akhirah. On that Day, there will be many believers, with radiant faces, actually beholding their Rabb^-SWT commensurate to their capacity; as this vision shall be strengthened for the purpose. This is the consensus of Ahle Sunnah. And the infidels will have drooping faces, gripped by the fear of reprisals. The real strength of a human being is exposed at the hour of death when, at its throes, he finds no way to avert it. And he knows that the moment to depart has indeed arrived. He racks with pain and his legs get entangled with one other.
