IF JUDGEMENT DAY IS NOW!

Then, l will be naked along with many males and females; uncircumcised, barefoot, and waiting for my judgment. The result of what l did in Dunya. I will not be able to see if sister Maryam is not putting on underwear, nor will I have the time to check if Brother Lukman has covered his private part. I, along with many other people will be overwhelmed. Waiting, waiting, and waiting in fear and humiliation.

I will be waiting under the scorching sun. And l will be sweating until my turn is reached and or perhaps until my name is called. I will not be able to look for my “Treasured Love.”  Nor will l be asking for my children. I alongside many other people will at that time, restless, tired, scared, and scattered. I will not remember my siblings nor will l look out for my parents.

“I will be more shocked, surprised, and scared when the contents of graves become scattered. And the sky breaks apart. And the stars fall, scattering. And the heaven split open.  I will be more scared when my hands and feet begin to speak of what they used to earn. Of what l do with them while l was on the surface of the earth.”

And l, alongside many other people (male & female), will be brought to account for every major and minor action we did in this world, whether it was good or bad. And we will be rewarded for our good deeds and perhaps be questioned about our bad deeds. I am scared and scared penning this down, right now.

And when the “Lord of the Majestic throne say to the Angels, Look at My slave’s prayer, is it complete or lacking?’ If it is complete, it will be recorded as complete, but if it is lacking, He will say, ‘Look and see whether my slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.’ If he had done voluntary prayers, He would say, ‘Complete the obligatory prayers of My slave from his voluntary prayers.’ Then the rest of his deeds will be examined similarly.”

And we would be asked about other matters. At this point, l do not know what l will be saying. And perhaps, the answers l will give when these five questions are asked:  “My life and how l spent it, my youth and how l used it, my wealth and how l earned it, and how l disposed of it, and how l acted upon what l acquired of knowledge.”

Oh Allah! Do not humiliate me on the day of judgment. Oh Allah! do not put me to shame on the day of the greatest fear. Oh Allah! conceal all my faults. Oh, Allah erase all my sins. Oh Allah! do not disgrace us. Oh Allah! Be merciful with us, overlook our shortcomings, and grant us steadfastness upon your Deen! Ya Rabbal ‘A’alaameen!
