meaning is the same. We must strive now and not postpone anything for the future. And we must realize and
remember that every prayer we make to Allah is heard by Him, and that every unspoken wish or motive of our heart,
good or bad, is known to Him, and goes to swell our spiritual account. (29.5)
29:23 - Those who reject the Signs of Allah and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter) it is they
who shall despair of My mercy: it is they who will (suffer) a most grievous Penalty. 3443
3443 The emphasis is on "they" (ulaika). It is only the people who ignore or reject Allah's Signs and reject a Hereafter, that
will find themselves in despair and suffering. Allah's Mercy is open to all, but if any reject His Mercy, they must suffer.
(29.23)
30:8 - Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and
that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind
are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.
30:16 - But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, and denied the meeting of
the Hereafter, such will be brought to doom.
39:71 - The Unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowds; until when they arrive there its gates will be
opened and its Keepers will say "Did not apostles come to you from among yourselves
rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?"
The answer will be: "True: but the Decree of Punishment has been proved true against the
Unbelievers!" 434743484349
4347 Groups: this is the word which gives the key-note to the Sura. If the soul does not stand to its own convictions or
search out the Truth by itself, it will be classed with the crowds that go to Perdition! (39.71)
4348 The Keepers may be supposed to be angels, who know nothing of the conditions of evil on this earth, and are
surprised at such crowds coming to the "Evil Abode". (39.71)
4349 Cf. x. 33. The answer is perhaps given by other angels: 'yes; messengers were sent to them from among themselves,
to warn them and proclaim to them Mercy through repentance; but the decree of Allah, which warned them of
punishment, has now come true against them, for they rebelled and were haughty; they rejected Truth, Faith, and
Mercy!' (39.71)
41:54 - Ah indeed! are they in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? Ah indeed! it is He
that doth encompass all things! 4525
4525 Short-sighted people may like to think that there may be no Judgment. But Judgment is inevitable and cannot be
escaped, for Allah "doth encompass all things." (41.54)
84:6 - O thou man! verily thou art ever toiling on towards the Lord painfully toiling but thou shalt
meet Him. 6036
6036 This life is ever full of toil and misery, if looked at as empty of the Eternal Hope which Revelation gives us. Hence the
literature of pessimism in poetry and philosophy which thinking minds have poured forth in all ages, when that Hope
was obscured to them. "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought." "To each his suffering ; all are
men condemned alike a groan!" It is the noblest men that have to "scorn delights and live laborious days" in this life.
The good suffer on account of their very goodness: the evil on account of their Evil. But the balance will be set right in
the end. Those that wept shall be made to rejoice, and those that went about thoughtlessly rejoicing, shall be made to
weep for their folly. They will all go to their account with Allah and meet Him before His Throne of Judgment. (84.6)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 6492
AbuHurayrah
Narrated by
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) stated: He who loves meeting Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and he who dislikes
meeting Allah, Allah abhors meeting him. I (Shurayh ibn Hani, one of the narrators) came to Aisha and said to her: Mother of
the faithful, I heard AbuHurayrah narrate from Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) that which, if it is actually so, is a
destruction to us. Thereupon she said: Those are in fact ruined who are ruined at the words of Allah's Apostle (peace be
upon him). What are (the words which in your opinion would cause your destruction)? He said that Allah's Apostle (peace be
upon him) had stated: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah too loves to meet him; he who dislikes meeting Allah, Allah too
abhors meeting him;; there is none amongst us who does not hate death. Thereupon she said: Allah's Apostle (peace be
upon him) has in fact stated this, but it does not mean what you construe. It implies (the time) when the lustre of the eye
fades, there is rattling in the throat, shuddering of the body and convulsion of the fingers (at the time of death). (It is about this
time) that it has been said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and he who dislikes meeting Allah, Allah
abhors meeting him.
