A believer's reward

During Muhammad's stay in Mecca, people abused and mocked him. Spread rumours. Asked him to humble. He had a small gathering around him. Very few people to support him and give him a sense of safety. Prolonged sufferings did not bend him.

Allah (swt) mentions the reward of these sufferings. And the reward for people who suffered with him. And the reward for people who came after him. Such people are going to succeed — in Mecca, in coming generations, in this world, on death and when they wake up in front of Allah. These people will be blessed with paradise under which the rivers flow, where they are mesmerised with the recitation of Allah's hamd, recite Quran, feel liberated and satisfied. An eternal life of eternal happiness.

People, who do not pay heed — are however are going to lose in this world, in the death bed and on the day of Judgement. The day when their repentance won't help them. They will have the clear path in front of them. The path of repentance which they could have adapted in the world behind them and had attained abundant successes. But they opted their desires, and made their nafs their God. They ran with their eyes closed. They had hit walls, had broken promises, had betrayed closed ones, and yet they did not opt the path of successes. This day, their repentance will only add pain to their guilt. They would cry heart out for Allah's mercy. Yet they will find themselves in the dark. They won't feel liberated. The guilt won't leave them alone. They will finally wish Death over Life.

Allah (swt) mentions the wrath for these people, who turned his Signs down today.

May Allah help us be among the righteous when we wake up in the life hereafter. Amen
