RIYADH AS-SALIHIN 89. What will you do to his: There is none worthy of worship save Allah, when the. Day of Judgment comes? 398. Abdullah ibn Utbah ibn Mas'ud relates that he heard Umar ibn. Khattab say: In the time of the Holy Prophet people were called to account through revelation. Now revelation has been cut off and we shall call you to account on the basis of your overt acts. So that whoever displays to us good we shall confirm it and accept it and we shall not inquire into his secret conduct;. Allah will call him to account for that; but whoever displays to us evil we shall not uphold it and shall not accept it, even if he protests that there was good in his heart (Bokhari). 50. . On Fear of Allah. Allah, the Exalted, has said: 149. Fear Me alone (2. 41). 150. Surely, the vengeance of thy Lord is severe (85. 13). 151. . Such is the chastisement of thy Lord which He inflicts upon corrupt cities. Surely, His chastisement is grievously painful. In that is a sign for him who fears the chastisement of the hereafter. That is a day for which mankind shall be gathered together, a day which shall be witnessed by all. We hold it back for a computed term. When it arrives no one shall speak except by Allah's leave, then some of them will prove unfortunate and some fortunate. . Those who prove unfortunate shall be in the Fire, given to sighing and sobbing (11. 103-107). 152. Allah warns you against His chastisement (3. 29). 153. On the day when a man flees from his brother, his mother, his father, his wife and his sons; on that day everyone of them will be preoccupied with himself alone (80. 35-38). 154. O mankind, be mindful of your duty to your Lord; verily the earthquake of the Judgment is a tremendous thing. On that day every woman giving suck will forget her suckling and every pregnant woman will cast her burden; and everyone will appear intoxicated, while they will not be intoxicated, but the chastisement of Allah will be severe indeed (22. 2-3). 155. But for him who fears to stand before his Lord are two. Gardens (55. 47).
