4666 The hatred and spite, which are associated with evil, will be felt with peculiar intensity in that period of agony. That<br />

itself would be a punishment, from which the righteous will be free. The righteous will have passed all perils of falling<br />

into wrong frames of mind. (43.67)<br />

44:41 - Those who reject the Message when it comes to them (are not hidden from Us); and indeed<br />

it is a Book of exalted power. 4513<br />

4513 Mere rejection by men will not silence the Signs of Allah, which will work unintermittently and with the fullest potency.<br />

(41.41)<br />

70:10 - And no friend will ask after a friend 5683<br />

5683 The world as we know it win have so completely passed away that the landmarks in the heavens and on earth will<br />

also have vanished. Not only that, but the human relationships of mind and heart will have been transformed by sin<br />

into something ugly and dreadful. The sinners will be so overcome with terror at the realisation of their personal<br />

responsibility that they will desert their most intimate friends, and indeed their very sight of each other will add to their<br />

agony. (70.10)<br />

70:11 - Though they will be put in sight of each other the sinner's desire will be: would that he<br />

could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children 5684<br />

5684 The sinner will offer his children, his family, his kinsmen, who had sheltered and protected him,-in fact everything on<br />

earth that he could-as a ransom for himself. Such would be his selfishness and his agony. (70.11)<br />

70:12 - His wife and his brother<br />

70:13 - His kindred who sheltered him.<br />

70:14 - And all all that is on earth so it could deliver him: 5685<br />

5685 What would not the sinner give for his own deliverance! But nothing could save him. The Fire of Hell would be roaring<br />

for him! (70.14)<br />

82:19 - (It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: for the<br />

Command that Day will be (wholly) with Allah. 6010<br />

6010 The answer is suggested by a negative proposition: 'No soul shall have power to do aught for another'. This is full of<br />

meaning. Personal responsibility will be fully enforced. In this world we all depend on one another proximately, though<br />

our ultimate dependence is always on Allah, now and for ever. But here a father helps a son forward; husband and<br />

wife influence each other's destinies; human laws and institutions may hold large masses of mankind under their grip;<br />

falsehood and evil may seem to flourish for a time, because a certain amount of limited free-will has been granted to<br />

man. This period will be all over then. The good and the pure will have been separated from the evil and the<br />

rebellious; the latter will have been rendered inert, and the former will have been so perfected that their wills will be in<br />

complete consonance with Allah's Universal Will. The Command, thence forward, will be wholly with Allah. (82.19)<br />

86:9 - The Day that (all) things secret will be tested.<br />

86:10 - (Man) will have no power and no helper. 6073<br />

6073 In that new world, all our actions, motives, thoughts, and imaginings of this life, however secret, will be brought into<br />

the open, and tested by the standards of absolute Truth, and not by false standards of custom, prejudice, or partiality.<br />

In that severe test, any adventitious advantages of this life will have no strength or force whatever, and cannot help in<br />

any way. (86.10)<br />

PUNISHMENT:<br />

36:54 - Then on that Day not a soul will be wronged in the least and ye shall but be repaid the<br />

meeds of your past Deeds. 4000<br />

4000 The Judgment will be on the highest standard of Justice and Grace. Not the least merit will go unrewarded, though the<br />

reward will be for the righteous far more than their deserts. No penalty will be exacted but that which the doer himself<br />

by his past deeds brought on himself. Cf. xxviii. 84. (36.54)<br />

37:33 - Truly that day they will (all) share in the Penalty.<br />

37:39 - But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought 4059<br />

4059 Justice demands that those who sow evil should reap the fruit, but the punishment is due to their own conduct and not<br />

to anything external to themselves. (37.39)<br />
