130 THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

the truth about Allah, and being arrogant about His Signs."
(Surat al-An'am, 93)
Having left all their earthly wealth, which has been rendered
worthless and meaningless, they will find that none of their
treasures or people whom they had counted upon can help them. As

the verse says, they will be all alone, for:
You have come to Us all alone, just as We created you at first,
leaving behind you everything We bestowed upon you. We do
not see your intercessors accompanying you, those whom you
claimed were your partners with Allah. The link between you
is cut. Those for whom you made such claims have forsaken
you. (Surat al-An'am, 94)
As if their hands and feet are bound, they will be unable to
control or guard their bodies, which they had liked so much and
thought that they could control and use to fulfill their desires. They
just cannot do what they want to. The verses reveal that they will be
invited to prostrate before Allah, but that they will not be able to:

On the Day when legs are bared and they are called on to
prostrate, they will not be able to do so. Their eyes will be
downcast, darkened by debasement, for they were called on to
prostrate when they were in full possession of their faculties.
(Surat al-Qalam, 42-43)
Allah is the possessor of everything, and everything happens
according to His will. The unbelievers will be asked to prostrate so

that they will feel remorse and pain for delaying this while alive.
These people, who were too vain to prostrate before Allah will not
be able to do so now, even though they will want to. They will be
captured, called to account, and sent to Hell.
