Chapter 6 of the Quran (47) Allah is Knower, Wise, and Aware

Allah is the Knower of the unseen and the visible; He is the Knower of what is hidden and what may be seen. Allah is the Wise, in His creation and in His command and decree; He is the Aware, of His created beings and of their works.

In the previous article, the unbelievers of Mecca told the the believers to turn back and worship their idols and return to their idolatry.

Allah command ed his Last Prophet Muhammad to say to them:

‘Shall we worship, instead of Allah, that which neither harm us, if we worship them, nor harm us, if we neglect them after He has guided us, to Islam? Say: ‘Truly, Allah’s guidance, which is Islam, is the true guidance.

 

Ayah 72 continues and says:

And to establish the five daily prayers and ward off evil and obey and fear Allah, and He it is unto whom you shall be brought together after you die, on the Day of Resurrection, and you will reward you for your works.

 

Ayah 73 says:

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in truth.

And , mention, the day He says, to a thing, ‘Be’, and it is this is the Day of Judgment, when He says to creatures, ‘Rise up’, and they do. His words were the truth, the truth that will doubtless come to pass; and His is the Kingdom the day when the trumpet, the horn, is blown, the second blast by the Angel in charge, when there shall be no kingdom for any other than Him.

He is the Knower of the unseen and the visible,

He is the Knower of what is hidden and what may be seen.

He is the Wise, in His creation and in His command and decree

He is the Aware, of things inwardly hidden and outwardly manifest.

He is the Aware, of His created beings and of their works.

Chapter 50 of the Quran (8) Man’s Obligatory Driver

The verse 50:20 says:

 

And the Horn or the Trumpet will be blown, for resurrection

This is the biggest sign of the hour.

It is said that it is like a huge electromagnetic shock with unbearable sound that everyone on the earth will hear it while he is shaken vigorously like the one subjected to a massive high voltage electric shock.

Hearing and feeling that means that we are on the day of the blast, it is the Day of Judgment.

It is the Day of the Promised Threat, of chastisement, for the disbelievers.

This is the threatened Day of the entire mankind.

 

Now, how man will come at the Day of Judgment.

Keep in mind that the earth is totally destroyed.

No houses, no roads, no plants, no mountains, no lands, no seas, everything on the earth and the earth itself is but nothing.

Then, man is just a flying tiny piece in the huge space around.

How then we know our way to go to the place wherein Allah will enquire man for his deeds?

 

The verse 50:21 solves this problem; it says:

 

And every soul will come, to the site for the Gathering, accompanied by a driver and a witness.

For each man there will be a driver to leads him to the site for the Gathering.

For each man there will be a witness to testify to his deeds.

 

Do you remember that Allah has engaged two angels for every man; their job is recording a person’s deeds.

One angel is at your right side and he is recording your good deeds.

The other angel is at your left side and he is recording your evil deeds.

 

This means that the two recording angels who were with every man in the life of this world will lead him to the gathering place and will testify either for him or against him.

 

It is should be emphasized that man’s witness at the Day of Judgment are not only the Angels in charge of recording his deeds but there are other built-in witnesses which man could not belied; they are:

• Man’s tongue
• Man’s hands
• Man’s feet
• Man’s…

 

Man’s tongue will testify saying: I said so and so.

Man’s hands will testify saying: I did so and so, I wrote so and so, I killed so and so etc.

Man’s feet will testify saying: I walked to so and so and I did so and so.

 

Then, the disbelievers and the evil-doers will be socked and would never and could never belie or deny their own organs. Would they? Could they?
