4.40. THE ENEVITABLE LAST DAY (To be continued)



 
God says

there are people who say: We believe in God and the last day when (in fact) they do not…. Q.2:8

Q.7: 181  - Now, among those whom We have created there are people who guide [others] in the way of the truth and act justly in its light.*
  *It includes the righteous of all communities – that is, all those who are receptive to God’s messages and live up to them by virtue of their conviction that God is the Ultimate Reality.

And [know, O man] that the last hour is bound to come beyond doubt, and that God will [indeed] resurrect all who are in their graves. -- Q.22:7

Woe unto those, who give short measure: those who, when they are to receive their due from [other] people, demand that it be given in full, but when they have to measure or weigh whatever owe to others, give less than what is due!* Do they not know that they are bound to be raised from the dead [and called to account] on an awesome Day – the Day when all when all men shall stand before the Sustainer of all the worlds   -- Q.83:1-6
  *This passage (verses 1-3) does not, of course, refer only to commercial dealings but touches upon every aspect of social relations, both practical and moral, applying to even individual’s rights and obligations no less than to his physical possessions.

Prophet said

“God ordered (the appointed angels over you) that the good and bad deeds be written, and then He showed (the way) how (to write): If someone is desirious to do a good deed and he does not do it, then God will write for him a full good deed; and if he intended (to do a good deed) and actually did it, then God will write for him (its reward equal to) from ten to seven hundred times to many more times; and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and he did not do it, God will write a full good deed for him, and if he intended to do it and actually did it, then God will write (for him) one bad deed” – Hadees Qudsi, Bukhari. N: Ibn Abbas.
