HARUN YAHYA
The book in which all deeds are written contains an
account of all that a person did while alive. Written by
angels, it will be given to its owner in the Hereafter. That
person will be told to ‘take your book and read it,’ and thus
nothing will remain hidden.
The Just Balance is a measure of justice by which everyon-

evil deeds can be established.
Al-Sirat, the bridge built over Hell, is by no means easy to

unable to cross it and will fall into Hell. Unbelievers will
remain there for eternity, while believers will enter
Paradise once their punishment has ended.” (Omer Nasuhi
Bilmen, The Great Islamic Catechism, pp. 32-33)

believers who committed sins and to elevate those who are
free of sin. This is known as shafa‘ah, and all Muslims must
strive to be worthy of it. Omer Nasuhi Bilmen has said this
about the intercession of the blessed Prophet (saas):
“Intercession refers to our Prophet and some other indi-
viduals of high standing requesting Almighty Allah to for-
give some believers and to raise the ranks of some obedi-
ent believers on the Day of Judgment. Our Prophet will
make the greatest intercession for immediate reckoning
of all people in the Hereafter. His intercession is known
as al-Shafa‘at al-‘Uzma (the Greatest Intercession), and
