THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
On Judgement Day, God will appear before mankind. Those who had been considered worthless and rejected in the world will be raised in value and accepted in God’s sight.
The Day of Judgment is sure to come—God has decreed it. No one can delay it, nor can anyone save himself from it. What an awe-inspiring day it will be when God sits in judgement. No one will be able to be defiant or proud. Those who were loquacious in the world will be rejected by God. Those who were thought of as mighty and powerful in the world will be reduced to powerlessness. Those who feigned piety in the world will be exposed for the impious beings they really were.
People eat, drink and make merry in this world. They establish themselves in comfortable homes. They seek to win promotion in life. They believe or reject matters at will. They feel that they are free to do and say what they like. They strive to excel in whatever department of life they choose. Man has been deluded by his worldly position. He thinks that what he owns in this world will always be his. He forgets that he is being put to the test by means of all the power which he wields in this ephemeral world. Nothing that he has will last. Everything will be taken away from him. He will be stripped of even the most basic of the worldly amenities he used to enjoy. He will be brought before the Lord of the Universe on the Day of Judgement.
On Judgement Day, God will appear before mankind. On that Day, those who had been considered worthless and rejected in the world will be raised in value and accepted in God’s sight. Those who had been considered weakest among men will, by the grace of God, be given great importance: it will be their testimony that will determine people’s eternal destiny. Only the faithful will be honoured; those who acknowledge God’s greatness and bow before Him, who abide by the truth and do good to others. They will inherit a new, complete and everlasting world in which they will enjoy the eternal delights of Paradise, while those who defied God in the world will be thrown into the eternal dustbin.
We must foresee the coming of that Day before its arrival. Those who fail to see it coming before it is upon them will have to pay dearly for their shortsightedness. Successful is one who has proved himself deserving of Paradise in this world itself.
