Approaching the West — Page 194
A pproaching the West—194 is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not care to know. ’ So on that Day, their excuses will not avail the wrongdoers; nor will they be allowed access to His threshold. (30:55-58) All ā h originates creation; then He repeats it; then to Him shall you be brought back. And on the day when the Hour will arrive, the guilty shall be in despair… And on the day when the Hour will arrive—on that day they will become separated from one another. Then those who believed, and did good works, will be honored, and made happy in a Garden. But as for those who disbelieved, and rejected Hereafter, these will be brought forth in punishment. (30:12-17) The Guilty shall be Chastised … on the day of Judgment they shall be driven to a most severe chastisement. . . (2:86) … All ā h will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And for them is a grievous punishment. (2:175) … All ā h will neither speak to them, nor look upon them… (3:78) … those who are niggardly in spending what Allah has given them of His bounty. . . That with respect to which they were niggardly shall be put as a collar round their necks on the Day of Resurrection. (3:181)
