45:27 - To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and the Day that the Hour of
Judgment is established that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish! 4765
4765 These vain wranglers about the future life and deniers of the Truth may have a run in this fleeting world; but the
moment the world of Reality is established, they will see what they now deny. The facts will destroy their fancies, and
they themselves will find themselves humiliated and lost, for having deliberately ignored Allah's Signs and acted on
opposition to His holy Will. (45.27)
56:3 - (Many) will it bring low (many) will it exalt; 5223
5223 There will be a sorting out of Good and Evil. Or rather, (verse 7 below), there will be three main classes. Among the
Good there will be the specially exalted class, those nearest to Allah (muqarrabun, lvi. 11-26), and the righteous
people generally, called the Companions of the Right Hand (Ashab-ul-maimana, lvi. 27-40). And there will be those in
agony, the Companions of the Left Hand (Ashab-ul-mash-ama, lvi. 41-56). Many who were high and mighty in this life
will be brought low for their sins, and many who were lowly but virtuous will be exalted to various ranks and degrees.
The old landmarks will be lost in the inner world, as they will be in the outer world. (56.3)
78:40 - Verily We have warned you of a Penalty near the Day when man will see (the Deeds) which
his hands have sent forth and the Unbeliever will say "Woe unto me! Would that I were (mere)
dust!" 59145915
5914 Is Judgment very near? Yes. There are three stages of Judgment. (1) Many of our sins and wrong-doings find their
penalty in this very life. It may not be an open or striking event, but it corrodes the soul and conscience all the time.
Let us therefore tum back to Allah in repentance and ask for forgiveness. (2) Where the Penalty is not actually
perceived or is not visible in this life, Death is considered the Lesser Judgment for each individual soul: see n. 5822 to
lxxv. 22. Death may come to anyone at any time, and we must all be ready for it. (3) Then there is the final Judgment,
when the whole of the present order passes away, and there is a New World. Time as we know it will not exist. Fifty
thousand years as we reckon now will be but as a Day: lxx. 4. According to those standards even this Final Judgment
is quite near, and we must prepare for it. For it will be too late then for repentance. (78.40)
5915 The Unbeliever, the Rejecter of Allah, will then find himself in a world of absolute Reality, in which there will be no
place for him. He will neither live nor die: xx. 74. He will wish that he could be reduced to nothingness, but even that
would not be possible. (78.40)
77:50 - Then what Message after that will they believe in? 5888
5888 "That" may refer to verse 48: they were given plain and clear Guidance, and they refused to accept it: after that what
kind of Message will they accept? The Guidance referred to is obviously that of Islam or the Qur-an. (77.50)
99:7 - Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good see it! 6240
6240 Zarrat: the weight of an atom, the smallest living weight an ordinary man can think of. Figuratively the subtlest form of
good and evil will then be brought to account, and it will be done openly and convincingly: he "shall see it". (99.7)
107:7 - But refuse (to supply) (Even) neighborly needs. 6285
6285 Hypocrites make a great show of hollow acts of goodness, devotion, and charity. But they fail signally if you test them
by little acts of neighbourly help or charity, the thousand little courtesies and kindnesses of daily life, the supply of
needs which cost little but mean much. (107.7)
COMMOTIONS:
81:11 - When the World on High is unveiled: 5979
5979 The Sky, or Heaven as standing for both the Blazing Fre and the Garden, the Home of the Hereafter. (10) Just as
when an animal is skinned, its real flesh and blood and inner organs become visible, without any outer coating to hold
them together, so the inmost state of every soul will then become plain. (81.11)
54:1 - The hour (of Judgment) is nigh and the moon is cleft asunder. 51275128
5127 See para 2 of the Introduction to S. liii. The idea of the Judgment being nigh at the beginning of this Sura connects it
with the same idea at the end of the last Sara (verse 57), though the actual words used in the two cases are different.
(54.1)
5128 Three explanations are given in the Mufradat, and perhaps all three apply here: (1) that the moon once appeared cleft
asunder in the valley of Makkah within sight of the Prophet, his Companions, and some Unbelievers; (2) that the
prophetic past tense indicates the future, the cleaving asunder of the moon being a Sign of the Judgment
approaching; and (3) that the phrase is metaphorical, meaning that the matter has become clear as the moon. That
the first was noticed by contemporaries, including Unbelievers, is clear from verse 2. The second is an incident of the
disruption of the solar system at the New Creation: Cf. lxxv. 8-9. (54.1)
101:1 - The (Day) of Noise and Clamor: 6251
