Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al Fajr

 

وَجِاْىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ، يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَرُ الْاِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

 

And on that day when the Hellfire is brought; that Day, man will remember, but how will his remembrance benefit him?

 

[89:23]

 

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud reported that Prophet ﷺ said

 

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يُؤْتَى بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ زِمَامٍ مَعَ كُلِّ زِمَامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَجُرُّونَهَا ‏"‏

‏.‏
“Hell will be brought on near that Day and it will have seventy thousand leashes, and each leash will have seventy thousand angels pulling it”

 

[At-Tirmidhi, Sahih Muslim]

 

To Emphasise further, Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al Furqan:

 

إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّكَانٍ بعيد سَمِعُوْا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَّ زَفِيْرًا

 

When Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and its roaring

 

[25:12]

 

And then Man will remember on that day his Deeds; Good and Bad and he will cry out in regret, because as Allah says “How will this Remembrance benefit him?”

 

And he will be left in his anguished and sorrow state facing Allah ﷻ.

 

As Allah ﷻ says in Surah Naba in the last Ayah about how the Kuffar will say

 

وَيَقُوْلُ الْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنْتُ تُرَٰبَا

 

and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish that I were dust!”

 

[78:40]

 

Because they will realise the finality and the Ultimatum of this Day.

 

Man, Believer and Disbeliever Alike will say as Allah ﷻ clarifies in Surah Al Fajr

 

يَقُوْلُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمَتْ لِحَيَاتِى

 

He will say, “Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life.”

 

[89:24]

 

The Disobedient people will regret their disobedience and the obedient people will regret not doing more.

 

Imam Ahmad narrates the Hadith from Muhammad ibn Abi Amirah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet ﷺ said

“If a person fell down in prostration from his birth till his death in obedience to Allah, he would scorn this act on Qiyamah and wish he be returned so that he could do more acts which are more rewarding”

 

[Musnad Ahmad]

 

سبحان الله

 

We need to reflect on our lives and if we are ready for that day when Hell is brought and we face Allah ﷻ with nothing but our Deeds and the long line of people waiting to claim them from us.

 

Oh Ibn Adam! You excessively speak.

 

But your deeds seem very bleak!

 

You will make it apparent on Qiyamah when Hellfire is brought.

 

That’s when you have no escape, you’ve just been caught.

 

You can never do enough so never be gratified
Because Hellfire will never be satisfied.
May Allah ﷻ save us from the Hellfire.
