Heavenly Jewels

Every person will be in hardship as per his or her sins. If a person did not give his zakaat properly, then gold and silver will be melted. This will be used to brand him on his side, back and forehead. If a person did not give Zakaat on his livestock, then these animals will brought on the day of Judgement. They will be made strong and healthy. He will be made to lie on the hot ground and the animals will run over him stampeding him and piercing him with their horns. When they run over him once, they will return from the opposite direction doing exactly the same thing. This stampeding will continue until the reckoning of the people comes to an end. With all these hardships taking place, none will be thinking of the other. Brothers will run away from their brothers. Parents will release themselves from their children. A person's wife and children will run far away from him. Every one will be caught up in his own punishment. No ne \v i i l be r � ble to be of assistant to any , /"){I ! I . ; . one else. " " ' ' " . , . , . Nabi Adam (upon whom be peace) will, be co m manded to se p arate the dwellers of hell from the dwellers of paradise. He will ask, How many from how many? The reply will be, 'Nine hundred and · ninety nine (go to hell) from every thousand.' This will 'le such a time, that due to sadness, children will become old. Women carrying children will miscarry. It will seem as if every one is intoxicated (This will be due to their immense fear and sadness), even though they will not be intoxicated in reality. The Punishment commanded by Allah (The Exalted) is very intense. I am not sure of which of the hardships to explain. If there were one or two, or even one hundred or thousand, I would be able to explain them, but on the day of Judgement, there will be numerous hardships that we will face and all that we can really do, is ask for salvation. T h ese hardships will not last just for a few hours, days or months, but for the entire day o f Judgement, which will be eqUivalent to fifty thousand years. 77
