“Whosoever desires the life of the world and its glitter, to them We shall pay in full (the wages of) their deeds therein, and they will have no diminution therein, They are those for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire, and vain are the deeds they did therein. And of no effect is that which they used to do,’

On The Day Of Resurrection, The First Matter That One Will Be Held Accountable For Is The Prayer: If It Be Right, Then All Of His Deeds Will Be Right; But If It Be Corrupted (Wrong, Not Correct), Then The Rest Of His Deeds Will Be Corrupted

Abu Hurairah # related that the Prophet #8 said, “Verily, the owned slave will be held accountable for his prayer, and if it is lacking, it will be said to him, ‘Why did you make it deficient?” He will say, ‘O my Lord, you made an owner have control over me, and

he kept me preoccupied away from my prayer.’ He 4 will say, ‘I did indeed see you steal from his wealth for your own self. Should you not have stolen for yourself from your deeds or from his deeds’ In this manner, Allah will establish the proof upon him.” (Altnad) Al-Hasan related that the Messenger of Allah % said, “On the Day of Resurzection, the first matter for which a woman will be asked will be her prayer, then about her husband - how did she act with him?” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa) And this hadith is Mursal, yet good.

Abu Hurairah 4 related that the Messenger of Allah 2 said, “Deeds will come on the Day of Resurrection; the Prayer will come and say, ‘O my Lord, T am the prayer.’ He 4 will say, ‘You are indeed upon goodness.’ And the Sadagah (charity) will come and say, ‘O my Lord, Lam the Sadagah.’ He 4 will say, ‘Indeed, you are upon goodness.’ And the Siyaam (fasting) will come and say, ‘O my Lord, I am the Siyaam,’ He 4g will say, ‘Indeed, you are upon goodness.’ Then the {other good) deeds will come, and for each one Allah will say, “Indeed, you are upon goodness.’ Then Islam will come and say, ‘O my Lord, Indeed You are As-Salaam (The One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies) and I am indeed Islam.’ Then Allah will say, ‘Indeed you are upon goodness, Today, by you, I will take, and by you, I will give.” (Ahmad) Allah 48 said:

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers’)

Anas ibn Maalik - related that he heard the Messenger of Allah 2% say, “The oppressive rulers will be brought on the Day of Resurrection -- including those who passed before me and those who will come after me. Then Allah will say, ‘You are the treasurers of My land and the shepherds of My slaves, and with you is my Bughyah (objective, ie. the message was conveyed to them, or perhaps, they had the opportunity and position to not onlv convey the objectives and teachings of Islam, but to apply and enforce them as well).’ He 3 will say to the one who passed away before me,

‘What incited you to do as you did?’ He will say, ‘Mercy.’ Allah Jalla Jalaaluhu (All-Mighty Allah is in His All-Mightiness) will say, “You are more merciful to My slaves than I?’ Then He #% will say to the one who will come after me, ‘What incited you to do as you did?’ He will say, ‘Ibecame angry for You.’ Allah will say, “You become more angry than I?’ Then Allah will say, ‘Take them, and block them off into a corer from the corners of the Hellfire.” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa)

Jaabir 2 said, “When those who migrated to Al-Habasha returned,

. a young girl from them said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, while we were

seated (in Habasha), an old lady from among them passed by us, and she was carrying a jar of water on her head. Then she passed by a youth from them, and he placed one of his hands between her two shoulders. He then pushed (her), and she fell onto her knees and her jar broke. When she got up, she turned to him and said, ‘You shall know, O treacherous one. When Allah places the Kursee (Footstool) and gathers the first ones and the last ones, hands and legs will speak of what they earned. Then you shall know how my matter and your matter stands with Him, tomorrow.’” The Messenger of Allah 2% said, “She has spoken the truth. How do people glorify Allah when rights are not taken from the strong among them and returned to the weak among them.” (Related by Ibn Abee AdDunyaa) And we have already related the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Unais 4s, in which the following is mentioned: “Indeed, Allah will call out to His slaves on the Day of Resurrection. He 4 will say, ‘I am the King, lam Ad-Dayyaan, and it is not suitable for anyone from the people of Paradise to enter Paradise whilst anyone from the people of the Hellfire has a wrong with him, nor for anyone from the dwellers of the Hellfire to enter the Hellfire whilst anyone from the people of Paradise has a wrong with him - until I settle it by taking it from him, even if it is a slap.” Ahmad related it, and AlBukhaaree mentioned it Ta’leequn in his sahih.

Abu Hurairah & related that the Prophet 2 said, “Whoever has a wrong with his brother (ie. he did wrong to him), then let him seek to be absolved of it from him, for there (ie. on the Day of Resurrection) there is neither dinar nor dirham (no currency with which to repay others with, except for deeds): his good deeds will be taken, and if he has no good deeds, then he takes from the bad deeds of his brother, which are thrown onto him.” (Bukhaaree and

In another narration, Abu Hurairah < related that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “Do you know who the bankrupt one is?” 'The Companions 4 said, “He who has neither Ditham nor dinar.” He #8 said, “Rather the bankrupt one is he from my nation who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and Zakaat (compulsory charity), yet he comes having cursed this one, wrongfully taken from the wealth of this one, shed the blood of this one, and hit this one. Then this one will take settlement from his good deeds, and this one (will take) from his good deeds, and if his good deeds are finished before he pays what is upon him to pay, their bad deeds are taken and thrown upon him. Then he is thrown into the Hellfire.” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa)

Ibn ‘Umar .# related that the Messenger of Allah 2% said, “Do not die while upon you is a debt, for there (Le. on the Day of Resurrection), there is neither dinar nor ditham; rather, there are only good deeds — a reward returned for a reward — and your Lord does not do wrong to anyone.” (Related by ibn Abee AdDunyaa)

Retribution Exacted From The Wrongdoers On the Day Of Resurrection

Jaabir 4s related that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “Indeed, a slave will come on the Day of Resurrection, and his good deeds will please him. Then a man will come and say, ‘O my Lord, this one wronged me.’ Then some of his good deeds are taken and placed among the good deeds of the one who asked him. This will continue in the same manner until no good deed remains for him. Then, when someone comes to ask him, his bad deeds (i.e. the bad deeds of the one who is asking) are looked at, and then are placed with the bad deeds of that man (ie. the man who wronged him). His accounts will continue to be settled (in the said manner) until he enters the Hellfire.” (Related by Abu Bakr ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa)

Ash-Shirk Billah (Associating Partners With Allah) Is Not Forgiven, And Wrong Done Among The Slaves (Of Allah) Will Most Certainly Be Settled And Paid Back On The Day Of Resurrection

’ Aishah % related that the Messenger of Allah 2 said, “The records with Allah are three: A record that Allah does not mind at all, a record from which Allah will leave nothing out, and a record that Allah will not forgive. As for the record that Allah will not forgive, then that is Shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah 8€ said:

And as for the record that Allah does not mind at all, it is the
