FEAR OF ALLAH
As a result of their fear and remorse, they will want to die and
cease to exist. Their ruinous existence is described in the following
verses of Qur'an:
But as for him who is given his Book in his left hand, he will
say, "If only I had not been given my Book and had not
known about my Reckoning! If only death had really been
the end! My wealth has been of no use to me. My power has
vanished." (Surat al-Haqqa: 25-29)
But as for him who is given his Book behind his back, he
will cry out for destruction but will be roasted in a Searing
Blaze. He used to be joyful in his family. He thought that he
was never going to return. But in fact his Lord was always
watching him! (Surat al-Inshiqaq: 10-15)
Following this, the deeds contained in the individual records will
be weighed on sensitive scales, which Allah has prepared for the Day
of Judgment. Not an atom's weight of injustice will be done. If one is
not amongst the cautious, one's scales will be light and one will be ap-
prehended, chained and sent to the place one deserves. Not only will
nobody help each other, one will not even be able to help oneself. The
pain of one's helplessness will engulf one's entire being:
But as for him whose balance is light, his motherland is
Hawiya. And what will convey to you what that is? A raging
Fire! (Surat al-Qari'a: 8-11)
On that day, people who lead their lives on Earth without fear of
Allah will have all their sins laid before them one at a time. Not only
the deeds committed but also all the evil deeds that they may have
intended. When that time comes they will not be able to do anything
about the remorse they will experience Even their attempts at denial
will fail since their hearing, sight and skin will begin to speak in ev-
idence against them as decreed by Allah:
