Page 298 - Learning from the Qur'an

The metaphor of what they spend in their life in this world is that
of a wind with an icy bite to it which strikes the crops of a people
who have wronged themselves and destroys them. Allah did not
wrong them; rather it was themselves they were wronging.
(Qur'an, 3:117)
They keep others from it and avoid it themselves. They are only
destroying themselves but they are not aware of it. (Qur'an, 6:26)

EACH SELF WILL LEARN THE TRUTH
ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE HEREAFTER
We have fastened the destiny of every man about his neck and on
the Day of Rising We will bring out a Book for him which he will
find spread open in front of him. 'Read your Book! Today your
own self is reckoner enough against you!' (Qur'an, 17:13-14)
Wthe graves are emptied out, each self will know what it has sent
ahead and left behind. (Qur'an, 82:4-5)
When the Fire is set ablaze, when the Garden is brought up close:
then each self will know what it has done. (Qur'an, 81:12-14)
On the Day that each self finds the good it did, and the evil it did,
present there in front of it, it will wish there were an age between
it and then. Allah advises you to beware of Him. Allah is Ever-
Gentle with His servants. (Qur'an, 3:30)

THE SELF WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER
ANY EXCUSES IN THE HEREAFTER
Then and there every self will be tried for what it did before. They
will be returned to Allah, their Master, the Real, and what they
invented will abandon them. (Qur'an, 10:30)
IN THE HEREAFTER THE UNBELIEVERS
ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE WRONGED
THEMSELVES IN THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD
They said, 'Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If you do not
forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be among the lost.'
(Qur'an, 7:23)
