Fear the day when only righteousness will avail, and whosoever eschews it, he will never find success. Fear the day when the disbelievers and the sinners shall be gathered together, and the sinners who shall be in the fire shall call out, ‘Why is it that we do not see here those whom we thought were mischievous?’ Then, an announcer from the heavens shall proclaim, ‘They are in par- adise, while you are in the blazing fire. ’ Every single person shall be presented before Allah the Lord of Honour and Glory. All the Prophets and their opponents shall be brought forth and every Ummah shall recognize its leader, so the perfection and nearness to God that each leader possessed would become manifest. Then it would be asked, ‘Is he an accursed one? Is he a Dajj a l ?’ On that day Allah shall make Himself manifest and every criminal shall be shown his punishment. The disbeliever would say, ‘I wish I had been mere dust. ’ O man! You and your machinations are of no avail! Do you disobey Allah even when he who seeks to hunt you down is about to pounce upon you?

He revolved his finger and pointed out: God will guard you from your enemies and will attack fiercely him who jumps upon you. ]
