the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, when he was invited for
a meal and offered a shoulder of lamb. He enjoyed the shoulder and
spoke to us as he ate saying: I will be the master of all people on the
Day of Resurrection. Do you know how? On the Day of
Resurrection, Allah will assemble all mankind, the first and the last,
on a wide plain so that they will all be visible and able to hear the
caller.
On that Day the sun will be very near mankind and they will undergo
tremendous suffering and grief. They will say among themselves:
Do you realize what we are in and what has befallen us? Can you
find someone who might intercede for you with your Lord? Some will
say to the other: Adam is your father, and they will go to him and
say: O Adam you are the father of mankind, Allah created you with
His own Hands and breathed into you of His spirit and commanded
the angels to prostrate towards you and let you live in the Garden.
Won't you intercede for us with your Lord? Don't you see our
condition and the intense suffering that has overtaken us? Adam will
say: My Lord is angry today, in a way in which He has never been
angered before, and He will never be angered like it again. He
2

3. forbade me to eat from a certain tree but I disobeyed Him. I am
afraid for myself, for myself, for myself. Go to someone else. Go to
Noah.
So they will go to Noah, peace be upon him, and say: O Noah, you
were the first Messenger to the people of the world and Allah called
you a grateful worshiper. Look at our condition, see how we suffer!
Won't you intercede for us with your Lord? He will tell them: My Lord
is angry today, in a way in which He has never been angered
before, and He will never be angered like it again. I was given one
chance of supplication and I supplicated for my nation, I am afraid
for myself, for myself, for myself. Go to someone else, go to
Abraham.
So they will go to Abraham, peace be upon him, and say: O
Abraham, you are the Prophet of Allah, His friend, chosen from the
inhabitants of the earth please intercede for us with your Lord. You
can see the predicament we are in! Abraham will tell them: My Lord
is angry today, in a way in which He has never been angered
before, and He will never be angered like it again. I was ambiguous
more than once. Myself, myself, myself, therefore go to someone
else, go to Moses.
So they will go to Moses, peace be upon him, and say: O Moses,
you are a Messenger of Allah, Allah honored you and favored you
with His Message and His Speech above the people, please
intercede for us with your Lord! Can't you see our condition? He will
say: 'My Lord is angry today, in a way in which He has never been
angered before. I killed a person whom I had not been ordered to
kill. I am afraid for myself, for myself, for myself, go to someone
else, go to Jesus.
So they will go to Jesus, peace be upon him and say: Jesus, you
are the Messenger of Allah and His Word which He conveyed to
Mary and a (created) spirit from Him and you talked to people when
you were in your cradle. Please, intercede for us with your Lord,
look at our circumstances! Jesus will say: My Lord is angry today, in
a way in which He has never been angered before. He will not
mention his sin but say: I am afraid for myself, for myself, for myself,
go to someone else, go to Muhammad.
They will come to me, and say: O Muhammad, you are the
Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets, praise and peace
be upon him. Allah has forgiven you all your shortcomings, the first
and the last please intercede for us with your Lord. Look at the
condition we are in! Then I will proceed towards the Throne and fall
prostrate before my Lord then Allah will give me knowledge of His
Praise and Glorification the like of which has never been given to
any before me. Then He will say to me: O Muhammad, raise your
head and supplicate, you will be given, intercede and your
intercession will be accepted. Thereupon I will raise my head and
3

4. supplicate. 'My nation, O Lord, my nation. O Lord, my nation, O
Lord.' And Allah will say: 'O Muhammad, take into Paradise through
its Gate those on the right, those who are not subject to the
accounting; the remainder will be admitted along with other people
through the various gates of Paradise.'
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, added: By
Him in whose Hands is my life, the distance between two gates of
Paradise will be as wide as the distance between Mecca and Hijr, or
between Mecca and Basra.”

do not annul your charitable giving
with reproach and hurt,
like he who spends his wealth to show off to the people

they stand up lazily,
showing off to the people
and do not remember Allah, except a little.” 4:142 Koran

People will perspire according to the quality of their deeds. The

|H 202
“On the Day of Judgement, Allah, the Glorified, the Exalted, will
assemble mankind and the believers will stand near Paradise. They
will approach Adam first and ask him: ‘Father, ask for Paradise to be
opened for us.’ He will answer them: ‘Wasn't it the fault of your
father that brought about your expulsion from the Garden? I am not
qualified to ask for this, go to my son Abraham, the Friend of Allah.’
Then they will approach Abraham, and he will say to them: ‘I am not
qualified to do this. I was the Friend of Allah a long time ago. Speak
to Moses with whom Allah talked at great length.’ So they will go to
Moses and he will say to them: 'I do not have what you want, go to
Jesus, the Word of Allah and a (created) spirit from Him.’ He will
also say: "I am not qualified to do this." Then they will come to me
(Muhammad), praise and peace be upon him. I will come forward
and be granted permission to intercede.
Trust and kinship will be released and stand at either side of me on
the right and left side of the Bridge. The first group among you will
pass over the Bridge with the speed of lightning. We asked: ‘May
our fathers and mothers be your ransom, what is the speed of
lightning?’ He replied: ‘Haven't you seen how lightning flashes forth
6

7. and back in the twinkling of an eye?’
Then, those who follow will pass over with the speed of the wind,
followed by those with the speed of flying birds, followed by those
with the speed of running men, according to the quality of their
deeds. Your Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, will continue to
stand at the Bridge, supplicating: ‘O Lord, make it peaceful, make it
peaceful.’ When the worshiper's deeds become incapable the speed
will slow down until a man will come who will be unable to walk, only
crawl. On both sides of the Bridge will hang hooks which will attach
themselves to those they are commanded to seize. Therefore they
are either snatched and saved or piled up in Hell.”
Abu Hurairah added: "By Him in whose Hands is the life of Abu
Hurairah, the depth of Hell is equal to the traveling of seventy
years!"
Muslim with a chain up to Huzaifah and Abu Hurairah relate that the Prophet, praise
and peace be upon him, said this.
THE RESULT OF HARM DOING
|H 204
“Avoid doing harm. Because indeed, doing harm is darkness on the
Day of Resurrection. Safeguard yourselves against miserliness, for
miserliness has ruined nations before you. It incited them to murder
and to treating unlawful sexual practice (fornication and sodomy) as
lawful.”
Muslim with a chain up to Jabir who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, said this.
FINAL ACCOUNT
|H 205

Judgement. Even the wrong doing of a horned goat to a hornless
goat will be settled.”

POSITION OF THOSE WITH GOOD MANNERS
|H 1787

of Judgement will be those who have the best manners, and the
most hated to me and the farthest from me on the Day of
Judgement will be the most gossipy, the most affected in speech
and those who mimic speech.”

Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
THE MERCY OF ALLAH
|H 87
7

8. “Adhere strictly to the faith and be steadfast; remember that no one
can achieve salvation through his conduct. Someone asked: ‘Not
even you, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him?’
He replied: ‘Nor I, unless Allah covers me with His Mercy and
Grace.’"
Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, said this.
