19:39 - But warn them of the Day of Distress when the matter will be determined: for (behold) they
are negligent and they do not believe! 2491
6:51 - Give the warning to those in whose (hearts) is the fear that they will be brought (to judgment)
before their Lord: except from Him they will have no protector nor intercessor: that they may
guard (against evil). 869
869 There are some men - sinners - who yet believe in Judgement; let them be warned of their personal responsibility to
guard against evil; let them not rely upon protectors or intercessors before God; their sins can only be forgiven by
God's own Mercy. (6.51)
64:9 - The Day that He assembles you (all) for a day of Assembly that will be a day of mutual loss
and gain (among you). And those who believe in Allah and work righteousness He will
remove from them their ills and He will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow to
dwell therein forever: that will be the Supreme Achievement. 548954905491
5489 The Day of Judgment will truly be "a Day of Mutual Loss and Gain", as the title of this Sura indicates. Men who
thought they were laying up riches will find themselves paupers in the Kingdom of Heaven. Men who thought they
were acquiring good by wrong-doing will find their efforts were wasted; xviii. 104. On the other hand the meek and
lowly of this life will acquire great dignity and honour in the next; the despised ones doing good here will be the
accepted ones there; the persecuted righteous will be in eternal happiness. The two classes will as it were change
their relative positions. (64.9)
5490 "Remove from them their ills". The ills may be sins, faults, mistakes, or evil tendencies; Allah will of His grace cover
them up, and blot out the account against them; or they may be sorrows, sufferings, or disappointments: Allah may
even change the evil of such persons into good, their apparent calamities into opportunities for spiritual advancement:
xxv. 70. This is because of their sincere Faith as evidenced by their repentance and amendment. (64.9)
5491 "Gardens" the place of the highest Bliss, see ii. 25, n. 44; xiii. 35; xlvii. 15. (64.9)
74:9 - That will be that Day a Day of Distress 5783
5783 The Sinner's course is now shown in contrast to the Seeker's. The Sinner may be self-complacent now: but what will
be his position when the Reckoning comes? Not easy, indeed a Day of Distress! (74.9)
69:18 - That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
20:100 - If any do turn away therefrom verily they will bear a burden on the Day of Judgement;
2:48 - Then guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another nor shall
intercession be accepted for her nor shall compensation be taken from her nor shall anyone
be helped (from outside). 63
63 Before passing to particular incidents, the conclusion is stated. Be on your guard; do not think that special favours
exempt you from the personal responsibility of each soul. (2.48)
2:123 - Then guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another nor shall
compensation be accepted from her nor shall intercession profit her nor shall anyone be
helped (from outside). 122
122 Verses 122-123 repeat verses 47-48 (except for a slight verbal variation in ii. 123 which does not affect the sense).
The argument about the favours to Israel is thus beautifully rounded off, and we now proceed to the argument in
favour of the Arabs as succeeding to the spiritual inheritance of Abraham. (2.123)
3:185 - Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid
your full recompense.
491 The death of the body will give a taste of death to the soul when the soul separates from the body. The soul will then
know that this life was but a probation. And seeming inequalities will be adjusted finally on the Day of Judgment.
(3.185)
492 Cf. Longfellow's Psalm of Life: "All this world's a fleeting show. For man's illusion given". The only reality will be when
we have attained our final goal. (3.185)
43:66 - Do they only wait for the Hour that it should come on them all of a sudden while they
perceive not? 4665
4665 Cf. xii. 107. What is there to wait for? The Hour of Judgment may come at any moment. It will come all of a sudden
before they realise that it is on them. They should make up their minds to give up misleading disputations and come to
the Straight Path. (43.66)
