! Journey to Eternity pt2!

THE WEIGHING SCALE (Meezan): The deeds will be weighed on a scale in order for each to be rewarded accordingly. This scale is a real instrument of measuring with two hands, wherein the deeds that were sincerely done for Allah and according to the legislations of Islam will be made heavy. Some of the deeds that will be given even greater weight are saying laa ilaaha Ill- ALLAH (there is nothing rightfully worshipped except Allah). Good character, remembrance of Allah, like the saying of 'Al-Hamdu lilah' (all praise be to Allah). ' Subhaan-Allahi wa bi Hamdi (Glory be to Allah and all praise to him) and saying of 'Subhaan-Allahil-Adheem (Glory be to ALLAH the Magnificent). Allah will give and take some people's good and evil deeds for others for the evil the did in their lives.9/ THE RESERVOIR (Haud): The believers will then come upon a reservoir of liquid. Whoever drinks of it will never suffer thirst thereafter. For every Prophet there is a speacial reservoir, and the greatest is for the Prophet Muhammed[PBUH]. Its water is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and more aromatic than musk. Its vessels are of gold and silver, the number of which is like the number of the stars; its lenght is a distance of Jerusalem in Palestine to Aden of Yemen. The water of this reservoir springs from the river of paradise called "Al-Kauthar," TEST OF THE BELIEVERS; At the end of the Day of Gathering, the disbelievers will follow behind the gods and idols which they used to worship. They will take their followers to the Hellfire in groups like flocks of sheep. Either on their feet or being dragged on their faces. Then only the believers and the hypocrites [pretend to be of them] will be left waiting, and Allah will come to them and ask:"what are you waiting for" They will reply: "we are waiting for our Lord," He will reveal Himself to them by exposing to them His Shin[AL-saaq- the promised sign] whereupon they will all fall down in prostration except for the hypocrites. As Allah said of them." THE DAY THAT HE REVEALS HIS SHIN, AND THEY ARE CALLED TO PROSTRATE BUT THE WILL NOT BE ABLE...." Then they will follow Him, and the Bridge(SIRAAT) will be establish (over the Hellfire), and Allah will give the believers their lights and darken the lights of the hypocrites. THE BRIDGE [Siraat]: It is a bridge extending over Hellfire which the believers must pass over to reach Paradise. The Prophet [PBUH] has described it as "that which comfound and makes one lose his step and trip, On it there are clamps and hooks like the thorns of a Sa'daan tree... It is narrower than a hair,and sharper than the edge of a sword..[Muslim]. The believers will be given their light according to their deeds. The largest being as great as a mountain and the least being as small as the tip of the finger. This will light their way, and they will, and they will then pass over the way in accordance to their deeds. The believer passing like the blink of an eye, flash of lighting, a wind, a bird, fast horse, or a rider (or walking and crawling). Some will reach safely while others are scratched by the hooks, and others will be pulled into Hellfire. [AL-Bukhari and Muslim]. The hypocrites will not have any light; they will turn back, but a wall be erected between them and the believers. Even though they desire to cross over the bridge to safety, they will fall into the Hellfire.THE HELLFIRE: The disbelievers, the hypocrites and some of the disobedient believers will enter the Hellfire, Out of every thousand, 999 will enter the Hellfire. It has seven gates. The heat of the hellfire is seventy times more severe than the hottest fire of this world. The body of the disbeliever will be made to grow so that he will taste the torture more; the space between his shoulders will be like three days' journey, and the size of his molar tooth will be like the mountain of Uhud. His skin will be made thick and it will be repeatedly exchanged after being thoroughly burnt with a new skin in order to increase the pain of the scorching punishment. Their drink will be boiling water that will scald their stomachs.Their food will be Zaqqum, excessively bitter.in addition to the flushing of wounds and the pus of the inhabitants of the Hellfire. The least punished among them will have two burning coals placed on the soles of his feet, and by this his brain will boil. In Hellfire, their skin will burn and there will be melting, ripping, pulling and usage of chains and locks. The lowest dreg of its depth take seventy years of the falling of a body to reach. The fuel of the Hellfire is the disbelievers and stones(of idols), its wind is poison, its shade is fierce heat, and its clothes are the fire. It will devour everything and leave nothing. It will growl and moan grotesquely burning the outer skins and reaching down to the bones and depths of the mind.
