When Life Begins ---------
The decision was obvious. Angels dragged him away face
downwards towards Hell.
A martyr and a generous person met the same fate. When
questioned, they boasted about their good deeds, but they were given
the same verdict. All they had done was to earn fame and a name in the
world, which they had already received. They did not do anything for
God. Hence, today God did not have anything good to bless them with
either. They were also sent to Hell.
Watching these scenes, I was trying to visualise those of my deeds
that I had performed solely for God as well as those that I did to earn a
place in the hearts of people in the world.
===============
During this process of judgement and accountability, some strange
and hitherto unknown things were being brought to light. They included
facts about conspiracies, assassination of famous personalities, events
that took place at homes, in offices and at local or international level.
The factors behind those events, the people involved, details of secret
& closed doors meetings, how the things started and then reached their
culmination came out as they had actually happened.
Everything had become clear as daylight today. Honourable were
becoming dishonourable. Noble were coming out as ignoble. God
witnessed each & every moment of the lives of people who lived their
lives totally oblivious of him. Neither a word was uttered, nor did a
thought or intent come to a mind without being noticed by Him. Every
act, even smaller than the smallest particle, had been recorded. Today,
the truth was being brought to surface for all to see in such a way that
every person felt denuded.
I was witnessing these scenes and thinking about my own sins &
shortcomings. I was afraid for my own fate. What would happen if my
sins and misdeeds were revealed? Even without punishment, the
awareness that everyone would come to know about my misdeeds
would itself be the greatest and most humiliating punishment of the
day.
Saleh had probably read my mind. Patting me on the back, he said:
“God will never humiliate his pious servants. His exalted
benevolence will conceal their bad deeds. Nobody will come to know of
their weaknesses, faltering or sins. Do not worry. You won’t find
anyone more benevolent and magnanimous than your Lord.”
“I have no doubt about it. However, right now I am witnessing the
grasp of the Almighty. The façade of nobility is also being torn away
from the faces of evildoers prior to their departure to eternal torture”. I
muttered worriedly.
Saleh consoled me, “this treatment is being meted out to the
criminals only. Before subjecting them to physical punishment, they are
also being put through the mental torture of humiliation."
Meanwhile, another person was brought in. As soon as he
approached the Almighty, he lamented, “O God! I was born in a very
poor family. I spent my childhood in extreme poverty. I made some
mistakes during my youth. Please forgive me!”
He asked an angel:
“Did I test him through poverty?”
The Angel replied respectfully:
“O God, he is right about poverty. However, what he calls “some
mistakes” were actually crimes of the most heinous nature. He chose to
be a bandit. To grab a little cash, a mobile phone and such other petty
things, he not only injured a lot of human beings but also killed many”.
“So this is what the truth is!” These words were uttered with such
rage and ferocity that the future of the man became crystal-clear.
“O despicable creature! No doubt, I destined you to be born in a
poor family. Yet I gave you a chance to progress by endowing you with a
healthy body and lot of capabilities. If you had endeavoured the right
way, I would have given you your share of livelihood that had already
been destined for you. However, you got the very same share by looting
and killing humans.
Now, you have to face the consequences of your misdeeds by
taking over sins of all those people you had either killed or harmed. The
