“When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left. He does not utter a word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].”
“And We have fastened every person’s deeds to their neck, and on the Day of Judgment We will bring forth a record which they will find laid open. [It will be said:] ‘Read your record. Today there will be no need for anyone to call you to account other than yourself.’”
“And the record will be placed, and you will see the criminals fearful of what is within it. They will say, ‘Oh, woe to us! What is this record that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?’ And they will find what they did present before them. And your Lord does not wrong anyone.”
“And We shall set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in the least. And if there is even the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.”
“O believers! Be mindful of Allāh, and let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow. And be mindful of Allāh. Surely Allāh is All-Aware of what you do.”
“O my son! If a deed were the weight of a mustard seed, and it were within a rock, or in the heavens or the earth, Allāh would bring it forth. Surely Allāh is Most Subtle, All-Aware.”
“On the Day every soul will find whatever good it has done present before it, and whatever evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between itself and that evil. And Allāh warns you of Himself. And Allāh is Most Kind to His servants.”
“There is no creature on earth nor bird that flies with its wings except that they are communities like you. We have not neglected anything in the Record. Then to their Lord they will be gathered.”
“When they reach it, their hearing, eyes and skin will testify against them for what they used to do. And they will say to their skins, ‘Why have you testified against us?’ They will reply, ‘Allāh has made us speak—the One Who makes all things speak. He created you the first time, and to Him you will be returned.’”
“Indeed, We give life to the dead and record what they have sent forward and their آثار (traces). And We have enumerated everything in a clear record.”
When the Messenger of Allah (saw) was granted permission to migrate (the Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah. He was accompanied by his companions Abu Bakr (RA) and his freed slave ’Amar ibn Fuhairah (RA) alongside their guide, ’Abdullah ibn Uraiqit(who was a polytheist).
During their migration they rested at a camp in Qudaid at a time of drought. They requested some food and drink from Umm Ma‘bad but there was unfortunately nothing to offer them. The Prophet (saw) noticed a solitary and weak goat, which he requested Umm Ma‘bad to milk.
Miraculously the milk started gushing milk at the blessed hand of the Prophet (saw) and they all drank and the Prophet (saw) left plenty of milk for Umm Ma‘bad and her family.
When her husband, Aktham ibn Abu Al-Jawn Al-Khuza‘i returned from herding his sheep he saw all the milk. He asked his wife where this had come from and she explained a ‘blessed man’ had passed by us. He asked her to describe him (saw) and what follows is Umm Ma‘bad’s incredible description of the Messenger of Allah (saw).
حديث أم معبد الْخُزَاعِيَّة اسْمهَا عَاتِكَة بنت خليف وَيُقَال خَالِد
رأيت رجلا ظاهر الوضاءة ، أبلج الوجه ، حسن الخلق ، لم تعبه ثُجْلة ، ولم تزر به صعلة ، وسيم , قسيم ، في عينيه دعج ، وفي أشفاره وَطَف ، وفي صوته صحل ، وفي عنقه سطع ، أحور ، أكحل ، أزج ، أقرن ، وفي لحيته كثافة ، إذا صمت علاه الوقار ، وإن تكلم علاه البهاء ، أجل الناس وأبهاهم من بعيد ، وأحسنه وأحلاه من قريب ، حلو المنطق ، فصل ، لا نزر ، ولا هذر ، كأن منطقه خرزات نُظم يتحدرن ، رِبع ، لا تقحمه عين من قصر ، ولا تشنؤه من طول غُصن بين غصنين ، فهو أنضر الثلاثة منظرا وأحسنهم قدرا ، وله رفقاء يحفون به ، إذا قال استمعوا لقوله ، وإذا أمر تبادروا إلى أمره ، محفود
محشود , لاعابس ولا منفد
On the authority of Umm Ma‘bad ‘Aatika bint khuwailid al-Khuza‘iyyah (ra) who said:
’I saw a man of visible radiance and purity, beautiful appearance, bright faced, with neither protruding ribs nor a small head, handsome and fair. His eyes were deep black and large, and his eyelashes were lush. His voice was mellow and soft. The whiteness of his eyes was bright and his pupils were very black. His eyebrows were beautifully arched and connected. His neck was long, his beard densely full. When he was silent, he appeared dignified. When he spoke, he was eminent and crowned with magnificence. His speech was sweet, his words precise, neither too little nor too much. Like a string of pearls flowing down gradually.
He was the most striking and beautiful of people when seen from afar and the fairest of them when seen up close. He was medium height, neither unagreeably tall nor scornfully short; a branch between two branches. Among the three he was the most radiant in appearance, the finest of them in stature. He was surrounded by companions. When he spoke, they listened attentively. When he gave orders, they hastened to fulfil them. Honoured, served and surrounded by followers. He neither frowned, nor criticised’.
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.
But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of Allah 's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."
Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a Day [which will be] witnessed.
And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an that you may warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah] and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.
The Day He will assemble you for the Day of Assembly - that is the Day of Deprivation. And whoever believes in Allah and does righteousness - He will remove from him his misdeeds and admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
10.يوم الحساب
{ هَـٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ }
[Surah Sâd: 53]
This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.
And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do
Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allah, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it," while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.
He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ( من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر ، فليقل خيرا أو ليصمت ، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر ، فليكرم جاره ، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر ، فليكرم ضيفه ) رواه البخاري ومسلم
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep silent."
