today with similar ease and speed. Regardless of whether they cross it
quickly or slowly, all those who were given their Books of Deeds in their
right hands will manage to cross over the deep pit of Hell and enter
paradise. However, when the hypocrites try to cross over without the
light of true faith and righteous deeds to guide them, they will fall off it
into the lowest pit of Hell. There, they will be greeted with the worst
punishments imaginable.”
“Will my family accompany me on this journey?” I asked.
“No! Today, everyone has to go through this last journey alone.”
Saleh answered with certainty.
“Then what did you mean when you said that people would go to
the Paradise in groups?” I raised a question.
“What I meant was that all the followers of a prophet will be taken
to the gates of Paradise under the leadership of their prophet.
However, they will enter Paradise one by one, in a manner appropriate
to their individual deeds.”
Saleh then asked me a question after a pause, “Do you desire to see
yet another event”?
Before I could respond in affirmative, he moved forward swiftly,
taking me along, until we reached a place where people possessed
extremely bright radiance. This brightness covered them as they moved
from behind, from front, from their left and right. They were saying
loudly:
“
O our Lord! Keep our Nur alight and forgive us. You have full
control over everything. Verily nothing is beyond you
”.
I recognised them without asking Saleh. These were indeed the
companions of the last Prophet, who was leading them. The
Prophet
PBUH
Following their lead, I also started to recite their words. I used to
recite this prayer from the Qur’an often during my past life. However,
the most appropriate time to recite it was indeed now.
himself was an epitome of Nur at its peak.
We were walking in the same direction when Saleh said, “Watch
what happens now”.
As soon as Saleh uttered these words, I saw some people running
towards the companions, many falling over in the process. They did not
have any light with them. As soon as they came near, they started to
plead to the companions to give them a little of their light. Some of the
companions pointed to the rear towards the right side of the Plane of
Judgement and said:
“We brought the light from there. You should also go back and get
some”.
On hearing this, all of those Hypocrites started to run back in that
direction. However, as soon as they tried to turn right, they realised
that there was a wall in the way. There were a few doors in the wall that
were guarded by angels. They tried to enter through the doors but the
angels started to beat them up to turn them away. They did not have
any way to get the light.
They then ran back to the companions and pleaded again saying:
“Help us! We are also Muslims. We were by your side in the
previous world. You know us well. Please do something to help us get
some light”!
The companions replied, “Certainly you were with us but you put
yourself in a malicious situation. You remained doubtful about this day
till the end. Your real aim was only to attain benefits of the worldly life.
You followed the way of Satan and he kept you in deception. Hence
today, neither you nor any other rejecter of the truth can escape by
giving any ransom or bribe”.
On hearing this, the Hypocrites realised that their destiny would not
be any different to all those who had rejected the truth.
It seemed dangerous to them to turn back. Therefore, they decided
to try to find a way by moving forward in the darkness. Without any
light to guide them, this attempt could have had only one consequence.
One by one, screaming and wailing, they stumbled into the Hell below,
where the angels of chastisement were waiting to give them a taste of
their medicine.
We continued to move forward towards the Paradise, reciting the
same prayer again:
