“Where is Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, at this
moment?”
“He is by the pond of Kauthar. Every person from his nation who
successfully passes the accountability process is taken to him; he greets
each person with a drink from the Kauthar. After drinking from the
Kauthar, not only does a person forget the hardships and thirst of the
Plane of Judgement, he also never feels thirst again. By the way, do you
remember that drink from the Kauthar?”
“Of course, I do!”
After listening to Saleh, I had an intense desire to meet the Prophet.
I said to Saleh:
“Shall we first go and present ourselves to the Prophet?”
The sentence had hardly left my lips when a loud voice stated:
“The accountability of the successful people from among the nation
of the last Prophet has been completed. The accountability of the
nation of Jesus Christ will commence now. Jesus, Messiah and son of
Mary, May there be peace upon you, a Messenger from God and the
final Prophet sent to the Israelites, present yourself to God.”
I looked at Saleh for an explanation.
He said:
“Now Prophet Jesus
PBUH
“Did something similar happen to the Muslims as well?”
will bear witness on his nation. He will
present a summary of his teachings when the Almighty asks him to do
so. This will be his testimony against the criminals of his nation, while at
the same time, it will also serve as a means of salvation for those who
held correct beliefs and performed pious deeds. Thereafter, the
Almighty shall forgive mistakes of those from his nation whose beliefs
were in conformity with his teachings; they will be declared successful
following a cursory accountability.”
“Yes, the last Prophet was called upon first of all to be a witness. His
testimony was considered as evidence against those who had rejected
his message as well as those who had disobeyed it. If only you could
have seen the scene when all such people wished for the earth to split
open and hide them in. However, his testimony proved to be a source
of salvation for people like Leila. In essence, the true reason for their
reprieve was that their faith and deeds were, on the whole, in
conformity with his testimony.”
“This means that so far only those people from the nation of the
last Prophet have attained redemption whose beliefs and deeds were in
accordance with his teachings.”
“Yes, the Almighty ignored their mistakes. The same would happen
with the nations of other prophets as well. Those people, whose faith
and deeds were largely in accordance with the teachings of their
respective prophets, would be forgiven. After that, only criminals and
disbelievers would be left behind in the Plane of Judgement, waiting for
a decision.”
“What will happen then?”
“After that, general accountability will commence.”
“General accountability?” I asked.
“In the accountability of all nations, the first phase entails
declaration of success of the pious people as well as the cursory
accountability of people like Leila. After that, general accountability
will commence in which decisions will only be based on a thorough
investigation of deeds. Obviously, because of this the criminals will find
themselves in trouble. However, many people with true faith will get
salvation despite their sins, because of God’s mercy; they will find that
the right arm of the scale of justice bearing their good deeds and
attitudes will become heavier due to his intervention. For them, the
humiliation and hardship they experienced in the Plane of Judgement
will become their penance and an excuse for their forgiveness. This is
what I mean by general accountability.
However, some people who will be held back until the last moment
before they are called for accountability. They will be those believers
who carry a very heavy burden of sins. For them, this extraordinary
lengthy wait may continue for thousands or even hundreds of
thousands of years, during which they will have to endure the worst
hardships, difficulties, and torments. Only after this may they have a
chance for reprieve.”
“What would be that chance?”
