The Day of Judgement

A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 02:48). Allah ﷻ states in the Holy Quran: ‘And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.’ Allah ﷻ tells us to be aware of that Day. Which day? The Day of Judgment. On that Day no one will be able to help another, nor will they be able to intercede for others, except for those who have a right on others. Even though there is intercession for others’ rights, if someone is to take a right from someone else and hasn’t done so in this world, they need to clean it up and give them their right in this world because in the hereafter neither money nor anything else will be accepted. What is accepted there is your good deeds. If you have good deeds, that time only you’ll be able to compensate for the rights of others. Intercession, well our Holy Prophet ﷺ can intercede for everybody but if you have tyrannized someone and taken their rights by force, our Holy Prophet ﷺ will not interfere with those people but only the person who is to take the right. He needs to forgive the other person, and [there] he will ask for something in return.

Therefore, while in this world we need to pay attention and be careful not to take or infringe on anyone’s rights and not to oppress anybody. People of this world, no matter how much they take away and infringe on the rights of others, they think that they’re clever and that it’s going to benefit them while they have no idea how much it’s harming them. It’s because they have no faith in the Day of Judgment; they don’t believe in it. Since they don’t have that belief, they can do all sorts of injustice and evil things. Those who fear Allah ﷻ don’t do such things. Those who fear the Day of Judgment and Resurrection don’t do this.

So religion is to protect people. Protect them from what? From hellfire; there can’t be anything worse than that. Some people will be in hell forever and some will stay there till they pay their dues. In this world, some think that they have done a [good] thing and that they have gained something by fooling and oppressing others and by taking things by force from people, but they’re deceived and they’re wrong. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ not make us take anyone’s rights insha’Allah.

This happens everywhere, not just with certain people. Sometimes there are traditions or customs and sometimes there are certain nations or people who think that everything of inheritance is left for them whereas they should actually be giving their siblings, relatives or other members of due inheritance their share. Whatever their right is in Islam, that’s how you should give it to people and that’s how you should act. May Allah ﷻ protect us from doing such things. May He give us the ability to think correctly and in a right way. May He help us insha’Allah and may He not leave us to our Nafs (ego).

Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
