When Life Begins ---------
I had an idea of what was happening but I still sought a clarification
from Saleh. As expected, he replied:
“The accountability is about to commence. Court of the One and
only is being set up. This is the first stage. The angels are descending
and will continue to do so for a long time. Then, at the end, the Bearers
of the Throne will arrive. When you saw them last, they were four in
number. Now, four more will join them and thus eight angels will come
down along with the Throne of the Almighty.”
“The Throne of the Almighty…” I muttered to myself. Saleh
explained a bit more:
“I am sure you can understand that God does not sit on a throne.
He is above and beyond such human concepts. In fact, the Throne is
only a point of contact for his creations. It is just like Kaaba in Mecca in
the previous world, which was called the Qiblah. It served as a pointer.
As you know, that Kaaba was called the Home of God but that did not
mean that God lived in it. However, when people faced towards it while
praying, it served as a point of contact and focus of attention for them.
In the same way, people will be able to have a dialogue with the
Almighty today via the Throne.”
I asked:
“So, people will be able to actually listen to God?”
“Yes, just like Moses heard God through a tree in the valley of
Mount Sinai. Abdullah, I want to tell you one more important thing.”
I was already quite attentive yet became all ears when he said it.
“As soon as the Bearers of the Throne descend, the Throne will light
up with the reflection of God’s pure light called Nur. It will then spread
all over the world and the whole world will light up with God’s Nur,
indicating that from then onwards, everything will happen under the
direct control of Almighty. There was a verse in the Qur’an that stated
that on this day, God would take the entire world in his fist; this is the
true meaning of that verse.
The very first order of the day would be for everybody to prostrate
in front of the Almighty. Abdullah! That order will create a shocking
scene. You will see that all the angels will prostate. All prophets,
Siddiqeen, Shuhada, and pious persons present in the shadow of the
Throne on the right hand side will bow down.”
I could not help but ask:
“What about the people present here on this side of the Plane of
Judgement?”
“This is the important and shocking event I had alluded to. Any
person who had rejected the truth, a hypocrite, one who was defiant to
God or a criminal in his eyes will not be able to prostrate in front of him.
Such people will try their utmost to bow down but their necks and
spines will go rigid like wooden boards making it impossible for them to
bend; in addition, the earth will also resist their movement in its
direction.”
“What about the others?” I asked.
Saleh continued:
“Those having a mixed bag of deeds but with fewer sins will manage
to bow down and prostrate, and due to this they will be called for
accountability right away. For the rest, the stronger the faith and better
the deeds, the more they will be able to bow. Some people will be able
to bow down to the level of the knees, some less than that and others
will only be able to bend their necks for prostration. In essence, the less
one bows, the greater his misery would be.”
I nodded, as I understood the concept and said:
“So it means that when that happens, people will get an idea about
their fate.”
“No, although I am saying so, they would not be aware of it.
However, they will feel extremely embarrassed for not being able to
prostrate or will be a bit contented if they manage to bow down.
But people will truly come to understand who is God. They will
discover the entity they had chosen to ignore during their lives. They
will know the King of all kings, the One who rules over all emperors.
They will recognise the only One who deserves to be worshipped. They
will appreciate the One who controls this Universe, the One who is the
source of all that is good. They will know the One who can make or
break anyone’s destiny with a slight gesture; the One who can question
