“Some faces that Day will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism), Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained. Darkness will cover them. Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah %, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad #8), the Fajarah (wicked evildoers)?!

“For those who have done good is the best (reward, ie. Paradise) and even more (ie. having the honor of glancing at the Countenance of Allah ¥). Neither darkness, nor dust nor any humiliation disgrace shall cover their faces. They are the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever. And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of the evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them (their faces). No defender will they have from Allah 86. There faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of night. They are the dwellers of the Fire, they will abide therein forever")

“(And remember) the Day when We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imam (their Prophets, or their records of good and bad deeds, or their Holy Books like the Quran, the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the leaders whom the people followed in this world). So whosoever is given his record in his right hand, such will read their records, and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least. And whosoever is blind in this world (i.e. does not see Allah's Signs and believes not in Him), wili be blind in the Hereafter, and more astray from the path’) Abu Hurairah . related that the Prophet 2% said, “The last of them is called and is then given his book in his right hand. His body is extended for him, his face becomes white, and a shining crown of

pearls is placed on his head. He heads toward his companions, who see him from afar. They say, ‘O Allah, bring this one to us, and bless us in this one.’ He goes to them and says, ‘Rejoice! For every man. from you is the same as this.’ As for the disbeliever, his face will blacken, and his body will be extended for him. His companions will see him and say, ‘We seek refuge in Allah from this one, and from the evil of this one. O Allah, do not bring him to us.’ He will go to them, and they will say, ‘O Allah, humiliate him.’ He will say, “May Allah keep you away. For every man from you is the same as this.” Al-Haafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bazzaar related this narration and then said, “We do not know it except with this chain. However, Abu Bakr ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa did relate it through a different chain, Tbn Abee Ad-Dunyaa related that Al-Hasan Al-Basree said, “When Allah will say, ‘Take him and fetter him,’ 70,000 angels will rush to him, and a chain will be made from his mouth, and it will come out from his backside. He will be organized in a chain just as beads are placed ona string. And he will be dipped a dipping into the Hellfire, after which he will come out as bones. Then he will fall, and then those bones will be heated in the Hellfire. After that, he will be returned to being fresh and tender (i.e. as he was, with flesh and bones, etc.).”

Some have said, “When Allah said, ‘Take him,’ a number (of angels being) more than Rabee’ah and Mudar will rush to him.” Mo’tamir Tbn Sulaimaan related that his father said, “Every single thing will reproach him. He will say (to someone), ‘You will not have mercy on my? He (the one who was addressed by him) will say, ‘How can I have mercy on you when the Most Merciful of the merciful ones did not have mercy on you?”

In the chapter “Ar-Ragaaiq’’ from his Sunan, Ton Maajah wrote the title, “What Is Hoped For From The Mercy Of Allah % On The Day Of Resurrection.”

Abu Hurairah & related that the Prophet ## said, “Indeed, Allah has 100 Mercies. He sent down one (of them) among all of creation. With

it, they show Mercy to one another, and with it, the animals show compassion to their children. He 4 postponed 99 Mercies, with which He will have Mercy on His slaves, on the Day of Resurrection.” (Related by Abu Bakr Ibn Abee Shaibah) Muslim related the same through a different chain.

Abu Hurairah 4 related that he heard the Messenger of Allah 2 say, “Indeed, Allah created it the day He created them (100 Mercies), and then He kept with Him 99 Mercies, and sent to all of His creation a single Mercy. Were the disbeliever to know all of the mercy that is with Allah, he would not lose hope of Paradise. And were the believer to know all of the Punishment that is with Allah, he would not feel safe from the Hellfire.” (Bukhaaree) Bukhaaree alone related it in this manner.

Abu Sa’eed - related that the Messenger of Allah 2% said, “The day that Allah ‘Azza We-Jall (to Him belongs Might and Majesty) created the heavens and the earth, He #¥ created 100 mercies, and from them, He placed a single Mercy on the earth. With it, a mother is compassionate to her son; the beasts are (compassionate) to one another, and the birds as well. He deferred (the other) 99 to the Day of Resurrection. (On the Day of Resurrection), He will complete them along with this mercy.” Ibn Maajah related it, and though he is the only one who related it, it fulfills the conditions of sahih AlBukhaaree and Sahech Muslim. It has been related through different chains from Abu Hurairah #: “The Day that Allah created the heavens and the earth, He wrote a Kitaab (book, etc., or writing): Indeed My Mercy overcomes My Anger,” and in a narration, “Precedes My Anger,” and in yet another narration it is mentioned. that it (that Kitaab) is placed with Him above the Throne. Allah Ec said:

“Your Lord has written (prescribed) Mercy for Himself") And Allah 4 said:

Book of The End: Great Trials and Tribulations 439

“And my Mercy embraces all things. That (Mercy) I shall ordain for those who are the Muitagun (the pious), and give Zakaat, and those who believe in Our Ayat (proof, signs, evidences, lessons, and revelation, etc)’”’ (Quran 7: 156)

Ibn Maajah related the following hadith from Mu’aadh 4s: “Do you know what is the right of Allah over His slaves? That they worship Him and that they do not associate any partner whatsoever with Him.” He #¥ then said, “Do you know what is the right of the slaves over Allah if they do that? That He doesn’t punish them.” Through another chain, this hadith is established in sahih Al-Bukhaaree.

Anas ibn Maalik .& reported that the Messenger of Allah #8 recited this Verse:

kl MS; Sat LI

“He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the one who forgives (sins) a He 3 then said, “Allah 3 said, ‘I am deserving to be feared (and to be obeyed, etc.), so that no god should be taken along with Me. Then whosever protects himself (and abstains) from taking another god along with Me, then I am worthy to forgive Him.” (Ibn Maajah)

440 Book of The End: Great Trials and Tribulations

illallak (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)” (Ibn Maajah) The hadith is very much Ghareeb. Its chain is weak and there is Gharaabah in its wording.

Sa’eed Ibn Al-Musayyib related from Abu Hurairah # that he used to relate that the Messenger of Allah # said, “On the Day of Resurrection, a group from my companions will come to me, and they will be driven away from the Haud (Basin). I will say, ‘O my Lord, my companions.’ He %& will say, ‘Indeed, you do not know what they Ahdathoo (perpetrated in terms of sins) after you. Indeed, they tured on their heels, moving backwards (the scholars have said that this is referring to those who apostatized during the caliphate of Abu Bakr 4). (Bukhaaree)

The following is a narration related by Abu Hurairah as: “It is as if I am with you proceeding from the Haud (Basin). A man will meet another man and say, ‘Did you drink?’ He will say, ‘Yes.’ Anda man will meet another man, saying, ‘Did you drink” They will both say, ‘No, How thirsty we are!” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa)
