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

And those who shall testify to the righteousness of one another and to their inviting others to piety will be informed by Allaah-SWT to have no fears whatsoever on that Day, no oppression by the infidels, no worries of any punishment and no anxiety of losing anything The infidels will grieve over losing whatever they had in the world, whereas the believers will get far more than what they had possessed, as they had embraced Islam and had wilfully submitted to His-SWT Commands. They will be asked to enter Jannah alongwith their families. In other words, it will be a Day extremely harsh for the infidels and highly soothing for the believers. They will be honoured, served food in utensils of gold and silver and provided anything they can think of to add to their joy and comforts. These rewards will not be temporary; rather, they will enjoy this Divine hospitality forever because they had obeyed Allah-SWT, followed and helped His-SWT Prophets-AS.

 

On the other end are the culprits who opposed the Prophets-AS. They will be condemned to Hell to abide therein, never to find an exit. Its intensity will not be decreased in the least. The level of Hell to which admitted will become their abode. It is not Allaah-SWT Who-SWT has by any means wronged them, but they had wronged themselves by opting for denial. They will plead to Angel Malik, Keeper of the Hell to supplicate to his Rabb-SWT for their extinction to get rid of the torment as their prayers were not being answered. The .Angel will dismiss it as impossibility as their dwelling in it forever has been decided.

 

Allaah-SWT had conveyed the true religion; His-SWT Unity, the knowledge of His-SWT Being and His-SWT Attributes and the most appropriate methods to obey Him-SWT . His-SWT true Messenger-SW had expounded the Book both verbally as well as by practical demonstration. Yet the infidels never acknowledged the revealed facts. They resorted to conspire in order to harm him. Allah-SWT, in turn, plotted against them and they were slaughtered at Badr while he enjoyed His-SWT Protection. Eventually polytheism was eradicated for good from the Arab land, and the magnificent city of Makkah became the cradle of true religion. Did they assume that Allaah-SWT was not listening to their whispering campaign against the Holy Prophet-SW? Nothing can possibly be concealed from Him, as their secret plans and whispers are recorded by the angels assigned this task. The Holy Prophet-SW may tell them that if Allaah-SWT had a son, he would have been the first to worship him. It is not for the sake of their opposition that he rejects any progeny for Allah-SWT, rather, it is the Truth. If the infidels still insist on their stance, he may leave them alone to wander in their waywardness, rituals and merry making until the promised Hour, firstly in the form of death, followed by Qayamah They will then know the reality themselves.

 

The entire worship in the heavens and on the earth is for the Magnificent and the Wise, Who-SWT is constantly Aware of everything. Indeed the Sovereignty over the whole universe belongs to Him-SWT . He-SWT Knows when will He-SWT establish Qayamah. Everyone has to return to His-SWT Court one day when the deities of the infidels will not be able to intercede on their behalf. Only those who had invited people to the Truth, and had believed in the establishment of this Day may be permitted by Him-SWT to intercede and that too only for the believers.

 

When asked as to who created them, the infidels instantly name Allaah-SWT . Why then are they turning away from His-SWT obedience? The Holy Prophet-SW‘s word that they did not embrace Islam when invited by him will be enough evidence for their conviction. So he-SW must turn away from them and let them at their own. Soon they will find out things for themselves. Here, invoking peace, does not refer to the formal greetings (Assalam 'Alaikum) exchanged amongst the Muslims, which is forbidden in case of a non-believer, but to a decent way of parting company.
