*The Speech of Allah to His Servants on
the Day of Resurrection*.
[Source~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat Maryam ~19: A # 95]
‘Adi ibn Hatim -al-Tai (Radi Allahu ‘Anhu) said:
PROPHET ﷺ~ said...
“There is no one from you except that His Lord will speak with
him,
with no Interpreter between them"...!
Then he will look to his right and will
see nothing except
what he has put forth (of deeds) and he will look to his
left
and will see nothing except what he has put forth.
he will look in front
of him and see nothing except
the fire in front of his face...!
So fear the Fire
even with half of a date.
whoever does not even find that...
then with a kind
word.”
(Source: Recorded by al-Bukhari # 1413, 6539 and Muslim # 1016).
This is an amazing 'Hadith' that contains the greatness
of the
Creator, a greatness that even our intellect cannot perceive,
nor is the
tongue able to express.
Prophet ﷺ informed us within it that everyone of creation
will be spoken to
directly by ALLAH with
no interpreter or intermediary...!
HE will ask them about
all of their deeds,
the good of them and the evil,
the small of them and the
great, the past and present,
those deeds the servant knows of
and those which
he has forgotten !
That is due to HIS Greatness and Honor.
Just as HE created
them and provided for them in one instant,
HE will resurrect them in one
instant...!
and HE will certainly bring all of them
to account in one instant.
So
blessed is the one to whom belongs the greatness,
and honor, the great dominion and
glory.
In this situation when HE will bring them to account,
there will be
for the servant no helpers, or assistants,
no children, and no wealth...!
Rather,
he will have come to HIM individually,
alone as HE created him the first time.
his deeds will have surrounded him on his right and left,
waiting for
recompense whether good or bad.
In front of him will be the Fire from which
there will be no escape,
will he have within him any way out ?
There is no way
except by the Mercy of ALLAH and by
the deeds he has put forth which could save
him from it.
For this, the Prophet ﷺ encouraged his nation to fear and protect themselves from the Fire even if it
were with something as insignificant as half a date...If one cannot even find
this...then even with a kind word.
Within this 'Hadith', there is evidence that from the greatest of
things that save one from the Fire is doing
good to the creation by one’s
wealth and statements.
A servant must not belittle any act of goodness
even if it were something insignificant.
The kind word includes advising
the creation
by teaching them what they do not know,
and guiding them to what can benefit
them in the
'Dunya' and the Hereafter.
It includes speech that brings happiness to the hearts,
comfort to
the chests, and brings about cheerfulness.
It includes remembering ALLAH and praising HIM,
mentioning HIS rulings and legislations.
So every speech that brings one closer to ALLAH
and
from which ALLAH'S servants can benefit,
then it is included under the kind
word.
ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal) says...
“To Him ascends good speech and righteous work raises it.”
[Source~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat Al-Fatir 35 : A # 10]
ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal) also says...
“ And the lasting good deeds.”
[Source~ 'Qur`an'~ Surat Al-Kahf 18: A# 46]
They are every action or statement that brings
one closer to
ALLAH or brings about some
benefit to HIS creation.
“Are better with your Lord for reward
and better for one’s hope”
[Source~ 'Qur`an' Surat Al-Kahf 18 :A# 46]
The Prophet ﷺ said...
“The Believer neither heralds false accusations,
nor Curses (others), nor is Rude,
nor uses Obscene language.”
