destination? You do not need to drink water nor do you require the use
of the washroom,” I asked jokingly.
“I was with Imsáeel”, Saleh replied.
As Saleh finished his sentence, Imsáeel stepped forward from
behind him and greeted me. He used to be the angel on my left hand
side assigned to record my misdeeds.
I returned his greetings and smilingly said to Saleh:
“And what is the reason for the appearance of Imsáeel?”
“The accountability has reached its conclusion. Now, both of us will
have to present you before the Almighty”.
I started to feel apprehensive when I heard this. I asked anxiously:
“How come the accountability has ended so soon?”
“As I mentioned to you before, time passes very quickly over here
while in the Plane of Judgement, its passage is very slow. Therefore,
while you were here for what may have seemed like a short while to
you, it was actually long enough for the accountability process to be
concluded.”
“What happened in the Plane of Judgement after I left?”
“After the accountability of most people was completed, only those
people were left behind who had faith in their hearts but they had been
held back due to the high volume of their sins. Following the request of
the last Holy Prophet, those people were also held accountable. Finally,
only the Shuhada and the prophets will be presented before the
Almighty.”
“Are Shuhada those people who were martyred in the way of God?”
Naimah asked Saleh.
“No, Shuhada are not martyrs in the sense the word is used in your
language, although the people who achieved martyrdom in the way of
God have also been awarded tremendous rewards. However, these
Shuhada are those illustrious people who were witnesses to the truth in
their lives. In other words, they were the ones who dedicated their lives
to give testimony about the veracity of God’s religion to the rest of the
world. They were the people who carried forward the message of the
prophets to the subsequent generations.”
“Will they also undergo Accountability”? I asked, as the mere
thought of accountability was enough to cause anxiety to me.
“No, they won’t. They will just be presented in the Court of the
Almighty and then their deliverance will be announced. Having said so, I
must say that the Almighty is the Lord of the Worlds and the sole
master of everything. If he wants to call anyone for accountability, no
one can stop him from doing so!”
I involuntary said:
“O’ Lord! Forgive me and have mercy on me”.
Saleh replied:
“I have only pointed out the authority of the Almighty. I am not
suggesting that he will do so. In fact, the time has now arrived for
people to enter either the Hell or the Paradise. As such, the residents of
Paradise and inmates of Hell will all be gathered in the Plane of
Judgement. In their presence, the success of the prophets and Shuhada
will be declared.
Thereafter, people will be sent in groups to their final destinations.
Eternal life will thus begin”.
