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

When the sky splits asunder in compliance with the Command of its Rabb-SWT , and the earth expands to cast forth all that lies buried in it, human beings, animals or minerals, in obedience to its Rabb-SWT as that is what befits both the most.

 

Types of Commands


 There are two types of Commands. Firstly those relating to the genesis enforced upon each and every atom. The human beings, jinn, earth, the heavens, and all that lies therein are bound to obey these Commands. For instance, a person has no say in matters pertaining to his birth, physical features, physique or wisdom. Secondly are the Commands of Shari'ah, whereby a person is informed of the requital of each action, but enjoys the freedom to act. This is for the sentient creation. So O' mankind! You have to endure through the turmoil of life to eventually stand before your Rabb-SWT , where all your actions will be right in front of you.

 

Turmoil is a Part of Life


 The path of life is tainted with hardships. From cradle to grave, it is not only the pious who face problems, but also the evil doers who experience even worse, poor and the affluent alike. And the problems faced by the Governments are far greater than by the governed. So wisdom demands that if one has to bear hardships, why not in the path of piety, for sin is more cumbersome and ultimately humiliating.

 

On the Day of Judgement whoever is handed down the Register of Conduct in his right hand will avail an easy Reckoning, which means that Allaah-SWT will not question him on any aspect of conduct. And he will return to his family delighted, as the pious will remain together. And whoever is handed the Register of Conduct from behind the back; that is, in his left hand; (the left hand will be twisted and pushed through the back to emerge in front to receive it) will long for death, which will not be there. And he will be hurled into the blazing Hell, for he lived amongst his kindred a life of merriment, assuming that he would never face Reckoning.

 

By the evening twilight dissipating redness, by the night that follows and enshrouds everything and by the full moon, when it shines all over, similar is the sequence of life. Mankind is gradually heading towards their end in a constant journey seen by the sun, just as man sees it rise and set. Then why don't people embrace Islam in the presence of both logical and recorded evidences? And when Quran is recited why don't they prostrate; and obey Allaah-SWT sincerely. The infidels deny and only Allaah-SWT Knows what they harbour in their spiteful minds. They must know that a painful doom awaits them. And the believers shall enjoy never ending rewards.
