HEREAFTER HEREAFTER
-According to Asma bint AbuBaker,
the Prophet (pbuh) once stood up and
delivered a sermon in which he spoke of
trials that a man would be subjected to beyond the grave.
When he declined this discourse,
the believers wept bitterly.
-Love for life of this world is damaging to the life of Hereafter.
Anyone who values the life of Hereafter
will be indifferent to the life of this world.
Therefore, prefer that which is
eternal to that which is ephemeral.
-Wise is he who controls his desires and prepares
for the life,which starts after death.
And cast down is he who lives for the love of this world
and has false expectations from God.
-On the Day of Judgement, no step shall a man stir until he has answered
questions on five aspects of his worldly existence:
his life and how he spent it,
his knowledge and what use he has made of it,
his wealth, how he acquired it and
how he spent it,
his body and how he has utilized it.
-On the Day of Judgement the rightful will be given their due.
So much so that a goat with horns will be
avenged for the goat without horns*
*THAT IS, A PERSON WHO IS AS INSIGNIFICANT AS A GOAT WITHOUT HORNS
WILL ALSO RECEIVE HIS DUE ON THAT DAY
-When those who destined foe Paradise enter it, to each a herald will cry:
'Now you will enjoy good health forever. You will never fall ill.
you will retain your youth forever. You will never grow old.
you will prosperous forever. You will never be needy.
This the essence of God's promise to you '
Then a cry will go up:
'This is the paradise you were promised. You have been made
its inheritor in return for your good deeds.'
-The lightest punishment for those in Hell
will be two sparks under both feet.
So searing will be their effect that
the brain will begin to boil like
a vessel on the fireplace.
-On the Day of Judgement, from amongst all those
destined for Hell, a particular man, the richest man in the world,
will be brought forth and cast into Hell for a moment.
Then he will be brought forth and cast into Hell for a moment.
Then he will be taken out and asked,
'O son of Adam, Have you ever known good things of life?
Have you ever seen comfortable days?'
And he will reply, 'By God, O Lord, never.'
'Then from amongst all those destined for Paradise,
one who has suffered the most in the world
will be brought forth and will be allowed to enter
Paradise for a moment.
Then he will be taken out and asked,
'O son of Adam, Have you ever seen a suffering?
Have you ever experienced hardship in your life?'
He will reply, 'By God, no I have never suffered.
I have never undergone a hardship.'
-The man who enters Paradise will live in eternal blessedness.
He will never be needy.
Neither will his clothes wear out,
nor will he lose his youth.
Paradise has everything-things which
have never been seen or heard of,
and which are quite beyond human imagination.
-On the Day of Judgement tyrant's own tyranny
will descend upon him in the
form of darkness.
