After a brief conversation with these exalted personalities, we
moved ahead. However, I could feel during my interaction with them
that they were somewhat concerned and worried.
, May God bless them all. All of them greeted me with a hug and a
kiss on the forehead and congratulated me on my success.
I asked Saleh about it.
He answered:
“You are not aware of it but all hell is breaking loose in the Plane of
Judgement. Every prophet is concerned about the fate of the humanity.
The wrath of God is so severe that no prophet wants his nation to face
it. All prophets would like the Almighty to forgive everyone however, so
far there is no chance of that happening. It is not possible to pray for it
at this time and neither are they allowed to pray for such an outcome.
People have suffered for centuries by now and so far there is no sign of
the initiation of the accountability process.”
Surprised, I said:
“For centuries! How come? It has only been a couple of hours since
we came in.”
He explained, “That is what you think, Abdullah. Today is only a few
hours long for the successful people whereas for those outside, it is an
extremely lengthy day, full of hardship and difficulties. Centuries have
passed outside but you may find it difficult to comprehend it fully.”
I could not visualise what he was saying but obviously, everything
was possible in the world I was in now. I wondered how many more
strange happenings were waiting to unfold in front of me.
===============
The companions of the Prophet including the
Muhajireen
(emigrants)
and the
Ansar
(helpers)
were sitting respectfully in a circle. There were also
a large number of people belonging to the earlier and later periods of
the nation of Prophet Muhammad
PBUH
“The Prophet of God is busy at the moment in praying to the
Almighty God, the One and only. We better sit down and wait,” Said
Saleh as he headed towards the seats at the rear.
. He sat in the middle with his
head bowed. Everything looked normal apparently but I could sense
that even here there was the same element of concern and unease that
I had observed before with the other prophets.
We sat on the seats in the rear. From there it was difficult to see
what was happening at the front. I asked Saleh:
“When would the accountability start?”
“I don’t know. No one knows!” He replied.
I became quiet on hearing his reply and sat back, resting my head
on the chair. I do not know how much time had passed when I heard
Saleh saying something to me:
“Wake up, Abdullah! Look, someone is here to meet you.”
On hearing his voice, I opened my eyes and quickly stood up. I saw a
highly respectable and distinguished personality standing in front of me.
He had a smile on his face and I could feel affection in his eyes. Before
Saleh could say anything, he introduced himself, speaking in a soft tone:
“Welcome Abdullah! I am Abu-Bakr. I am here to welcome you on
behalf of the Prophet.”
As he uttered these words, he extended his hands. Feeling quite
excited, I gave him a hug. After the initial introduction, he took me
aside, away from the other people and sat on a chair. I asked him as
soon as we sat down:
“When would I be able to meet the Prophet, peace be upon him?”
“He is presently busy in praying and thanking the Almighty. You will
be able to meet him later. Now, the most important news is that
Almighty has accepted his prayer for commencement of the
accountability. The moment when the Almighty accepted his plea, you
had also prayed for something. Did you not want to go back to the
Plane of Judgement to see what was happening there? Almighty has
permitted you to do so. The accountability would start in a short while.
