The following is a summary of the topics covered on May 26, 2001

Last lesson:  

•   THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT continued:

   

  • Surah Al-Hijr (15:1-8) Alif-Lâm-Râ. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings].  These are the Verses of the Book, and a plain Qur'ân.  Perhaps (often) will those who disbelieve wish that they were Muslims [those who have submitted themselves to Allâh's Will in Islâm Islâmic Monotheism, this will be on the Day of Resurrection when they will see the disbelievers going to Hell and the Muslims going to Paradise].  Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with (false) hope. They will come to know!  And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.  No nation can anticipate its term, nor delay it.  And they say: "O you (Muhammad (Peace Bu Upon Him)) to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'ân) has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man.  "Why do you not bring angels to us if you are of the truthful ones?"  We send not the angels down except with the truth (i.e. for torment, etc.), and in that case, they (the disbelievers) would have no respite!

   

  •  Surah Al-Mu'minun (23:99-111) Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allâh), he says: "My Lord! Send me back, "So that I may do good in that which I have left behind!" No! It is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is Barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.  Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.  Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, - these, they are the successful.  And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose their ownselves, in Hell will they abide.  The Fire will burn their faces, and therein they will grin, with displaced lips (disfigured).  "Were not My Verses (this Qur'ân) recited to you, and then you used to deny them?"  They will say: "Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people.  "Our Lord! Bring us out of this; if ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be Zâlimûn: (polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers, etc.)."  He (Allâh) will say: "Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!"  Verily! There was a party of My slaves, who used to say: "Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!"  But you took them for a laughingstock, so much so that they made you forget My Remembrance while you used to laugh at them!  Verily! I have rewarded them this Day for their patience, they are indeed the ones that are successful.

Next lesson:
