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)
101:7 - Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction. 6255
6255 Cf. xcviii. 8, and n. 6233, but perhaps the Bliss is not of the same grade for all men. In every case it is bliss, but bliss
suited to the particular nature of the individual concerned. (101.7)
20:112 - But he who works deeds of righteousness and has faith will have no fear of harm nor of
any curtailment (of what is his due). 2637
2637 See the last note. Unlike the unjust, the righteous, who have come with Faith, will now find their Faith justified: not
only will they be free from any fear of harm, but they will be rewarded to the full, or, as has been said in other
passages, where His bounty rather than His justice is emphasised, they will get more than their due reward (iii. 27;
xxxix. 10). (20.112)
43:68 - My devotees! no fear shall be on you that Day nor shall ye grieve 4667
4667 The devotion and service to Allah result in the soul being made free from all fear and sorrow, as regards the past,
present, and future, if we may take an anology from Time for a timeless state. Such devotion and service are shown
by (1) believing in Allah's Signs, which means understanding and accepting His Will, and (2) by merging our will
completely in His universal Will, which means being in tune with the Infinite, and acting in all things to further His
Kingdom. (43.68)
69:19 - Then He that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! read ye my
Record! 5652
5652 Cf. xvii. 71, where the righteous are described as those who are given their record in their right hand at Judgment. In
lvi. 27, 38, and other passages, the righteous are called "Companions of the Right Hand". (69.19)
69:21 - And he will be in a life of Bliss
80:38 - Some Faces that Day will be beaming.
88:8 - Other) faces that Day will be joyful.
88:9 - Pleased with their Striving 6100
JUMUA:
See Surah 62.
62:9 - O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly)
hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is best
for you if ye but knew! 546154625463
5461 Friday, is primarily the Day of Assembly, the weekly meeting of the Congregation, when we show our unity by sharing
in common public worship, preceded by a Khutba, in which the Imam (or Leader) reviews the week's fife of the
Community and offers advice and exhortation on good living. Notice the gradations of social contact for Muslims if
they followed the wise ordinances of their Faith. (1) Each individual remembers Allah for himself or herself five or
more times every day in the home or place of business, or local mosque, or open air, as the case may be. (2) On
Friday in every week there is a local meeting in the central mosque of each local centre,-it may be a village, or town,
or ward of a big city. (3) At the two 'Ids every year, there is a large local area meeting in one centre. (4) Once at least
in a lifetime, where possible, a Muslim shares in the vast international assemblage of the world, in the centre of Islam,
at the Makkan Pilgrimage. A happy combination of decentralisation and centralisation, of individual liberty and
collective meeting, and contact at various stages or grades. The mechanical part of this ordinance is easy to carry out.
Are we carrying out the more difficult part?-the spirit of unity, brotherhood, mutual consultation, and collective
understanding and action? (62.9)
5462 The idea behind the Muslim weekly "Day of Assembly" is different from that behind the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) or
the Christian Sunday. The Jewish Sabbath is primarily a commemoration of Allah's ending His work and resting on the
seventh day (Gen. ii. 2; Exod. xx. 11): we are taught that Allah needs no rest, nor does He feel fatigue (ii. 255). The
Jewish command forbids work on that day but says nothing about worship or prayer (Exod. xx. 10); our ordinance lays
chief stress on the remembrance of Allah. Jewish formalism went so far as to kill the spirit of the sabbath, and call
forth the protest of Jesus: "the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" (Mark. ii. 27). But the
Christian Church, although it has changed the day from Saturday to Sunday, has inherited the Jewish spirit: witness
the Scottish Sabbath; except in so far as it has been secularised. Our teaching says: 'When the time for Jumua Prayer
comes, close your business and answer the summons loyally and earnestly, meet earnestly, pray, consult and learn
by social contact; when the meeting is over, scatter and go about your business'. (62.9)
