20:111 - (All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) the Living the Self-Subsisting Eternal: hopeless<br />

indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back). 2636<br />

2636 The metaphor of the burden of sin which the unjust carry on their backs is referred to in xx. 100-101 (see n. 2626), in<br />

vi. 31, and in other passages. Note that all faces, those of the just as well as of the unjust, will be humble before Allah:<br />

the best of us can claim no merit equal to Allah's Grace. But the just will have Hope: while the unjust, now that the<br />

curtain of Reality has risen, will be in absolute Despair! (20.111)<br />

8:50 - If thou couldst see when the angels take the souls of the unbelievers (at death) (how) they<br />

smite their faces and their backs (saying): "Taste the penalty of the blazing fire. 1219<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.179<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Narrated by<br />

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Turks; people with small eyes, red faces, and<br />

flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather. The Hour will not be established till you fight with people<br />

whose shoes are made of hair."<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 7.702<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Narrated by<br />

I heard Allah's Apostle saying "From among my followers, a group (of 70,000) will enter Paradise without being asked for their<br />

accounts. Their faces will be shining like the moon." 'Ukasha bin Muhsin Al-Asadi got up, lifting his covering sheet and said,<br />

"O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah for me that He may include me with them." The Prophet said! "O Allah! Make him from them."<br />

Then another man from Al-Ansar got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah for me that He may include me with them."<br />

On that Allah's Apostle said, "'Ukasha has anticipated you."<br />

FACE: (QIBLA)<br />

2:149 - From whencesoever thou startest forth turn thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque;<br />

that is indeed the truth from thy Lord. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do. 154<br />

2:150 - So from whencesoever thou startest forth turn thy face in the direction of the Sacred<br />

Mosque; among wheresoever ye are turn your face thither that there be no ground of dispute<br />

against you among the people except those of them that are bent on wickedness; so fear them<br />

not but fear Me; and that I may complete My favors on you and ye may (consent to) be guided.<br />

FAIR & JUST:<br />

4:129 – See under “Women” and Note 639.<br />

51:36 - But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house: 5014<br />

5014 That was the house of Lut; and even there, his wife had no faith: she disobeyed the Command and perished: xi. 81, n.<br />

1577. (51.36)<br />

17:33 - Nor take life which Allah has made sacred except for just cause<br />

15:16 - It is We who have set out the Zodiacal Signs in the heavens and made them fair-seeming to<br />

(all) beholders; 19491950<br />

1949 Evil having been described, not as an external thing, but as a taint of the soul, we have in this section a glorious<br />

account of the purity and beauty of Allah's Creation. Evil is a blot on it, not a normal feature of it. Indeed, the normal<br />

feature is the guard which Allah has put on it, to protect it from evil. (15.16)<br />

1950 In the countless millions of stars in the universe which we see, the first step in our astronomical knowledge is to find<br />

marvellous order, beauty, and harmony, on a scale of grandeur which we appreciate more and more as our<br />

knowledge increases. The first broad belt that we distinguish is the Zodiac, which marks the sun's path through the<br />

heavens year after year and the limit of the wanderings of the moon and the planets. We make twelve divisions of it<br />

and call them Signs of the Zodiac. Each marks the solar path through the heavens as we see it, month after month.<br />

We can thus mark off the seasons in our solar year, and express in definite laws the most important facts in<br />
