5624 Salimun: whole, in full possession of the power of judgment and will; not constrained, as they now will be, by the
Punishment staring them full in the face. (68.43)
73:17 - Then how shall ye if ye deny (Allah) guard yourselves against a Day that will make children
hoary-headed? 5769
5769 If already you deny and disobey Allah in this life of probation, how can you stand up to the Day of Judgment, the Day
of the terrrible Reality? That Day is described in two metaphors: (1) It will be a time of such stress that even children
will become like hoary-headed men; (2) What we look upon as the eternal sky, ever the same, will be cleft asunder; cf.
lxxxii. 1. In other words, the shape of things will be completely altered, both within man and in outer nature, and all
true values will be restored. For the Promise of Allah, in this as in all other respects, cannot but be fulfiflled. (73.17)
75:22 - Some faces that Day will beam (in brightness and beauty) 5822
5822 This passage (especially with reference to verses 26-28) would seem to refer to what our Doctors call the Lesser
Judgment (Qiyamat-us-Sugra), which takes place immediately after death, and not to the Greater or General
Judgment, which may be supposed to be referred to in such passages as occurs in S. lvi. There are other passages
referring to the Lesser Judgment immediately after death; e.g., vii. 37 etc. If I understand aright, the punishment of sin
takes place in three ways; (1) it may take place in this very life, but this may be deferred, to give the sinner respite; (2)
it may be an agony immediately after death; and (3) in the final Resurrection, when the whole of the present order
gives place to a wholly new World: xiv, 48. (75.22)
14:43 - They are running forward with necks outstretched their heads uplifted their gaze returning
not towards them and their hearts a (gaping) void. 1923
1923 A picture of horror. The evil ones, when they realise the situation, will be dazed; their eyes will stare without
expression, and never move back; their necks will be outstretched; their heads uplifted in terror of the Judgment from
on High; and their hearts become empty of all hope or intelligence as the physical heart might become empty of blood
when the circulation stops. In this state they will press forward to Judgment. (14.43)
14:49 - And thou wilt see the Sinners that day bound together in fetters 1926
1926 Cf. xxxvi. 8, Ix. 71, lxix. 30. (14.49)
75:23 - Looking towards their Lord;
75:24 – And some faces that Day will be sad and dismal
75:25 - In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
80:34 - That Day shall a man flee from his own brother.
80:35 – And from his mother and his father.
80:36 –And from his wife and his children. 5966
5966 Even those who were nearest and dearest in this life will not be able or willing to help each
other on that awful Day. On the contrary, if they have to receive a sentence for their sins, they
will be anxious to avoid even sharing each other's sorrows or witnessing each other's
humiliation; for each will have enough of his own troubles to occupy him. On the other hand,
the Righteous will be united with their righteous families: lii. 21; and their faces will be
"beaming, laughing, rejoicing" (lxxx. 38-39). (80.36)
80:37 - Each one of them that Day will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to
the others. 5967
5957 Cf. lxxvi. 2, and n. 5832. The origin of man as an animal is lowly indeed. But what further faculties and capacities has
not Allah granted to man? Besides his animal body, in which also he shares in all the blessings which Allah has
bestowed on the rest of His Creation, man has been granted divine gifts which entitle him to be called the Vicegerent
on earth: ii. 30. He has a will; he has spiritual perception; he is capable of divine love; he can control nature within
certain limits, and subject nature's forces to his own use. And he has been given the power of judgment, so that he
can avoid excess and defect, and follow the middle path. And that path, as well as all that is necessary for his life in its
manifold aspects, has been made easy for him. (80.19)
80:38 - Some Faces that Day will be beaming.
80:39 - Laughing rejoicing.
80:40 - And other faces that Day will be dust-stained; 5968
5968 The dust on the faces of the sinners will be in contrast to the beaming light on the faces of the righteous; and the
blackness in contrast to the "laughing, rejoicing" faces of the righteous. But the dust also suggests that being
