A day of Qayyamah

We read the following verse of Quran, in our morning Quran class. After it, we were only discussing death. And deep inside, I felt I am not prepared enough. There is a long list of things that are left to be done. Before I can really make my Allah proud of me.

If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."
- Surah Al Anam verse 27

In short, People who have wronged Allah, on Qayyamah will ask Allah to send them back to this world so that they can re-do, re-act and re-live the test. Hoping, they will succeed this time.

I have broken this verse down considering 3 x Major Subjects.

1. Signs of Allah

2. Am I a believer?

3. Reward for believers

Subject 1 👉 Signs of Allah

People in hereafter were claiming they would believe if they are given another chance. It is therefore important to understand what is "Beleiving”. It is to look at all the signs in this world of Allah, and submit to them. Let me do it for you. Write down the signs of Allah:-

1. A leaf of a tree is green. Find green. Define it. It might be red, but somebody in my childhood told me it is green, I started naming it green. For a cat it is black and white. Just to declare a leaf green, you need to define the mechanism of identifying green by a human’s retina. How it creates an image and transports it to brain. It can not be re created, neither can it be defined.

2. The tree is planted on soil. Soil are particles. When it rains. It comes to life. When it doesn’t, it is just dead. Some particles giving birth to something that does not exist is magic for me. It is a miracle. It is a sign.

3. A tree rises above ground. Sky showers water around. Particles give birth around. Mothers give daughters. Some are men some are women. In all chaos of evolution and movement, it is all peaceful and quite. Every second a fusion Atomic Bomb blasts on Sun ☀️ and it looks beautiful on every sun set and rise.

These are magical events happening around us. Do you believe in there being magical? If you believe in them, if you find serene in them, if you love them and if you find Allah in them you are a believer. If you can’t find time to find Allah in them, you are the person Allah talked about in above verse. “They will ask for another chance”.

Subject 2 👉 Self Check, Have I wronged

I write these blogs to connect Quran with Science. To make sure no body is left out; developers, artists to teachers and students. We all cover it. But I need a self test to make sure I am running this path right.

1. I am not acting like Muhammad and Umar yet. They talked out loud to people to come into the circle of Islam. I am not talking out loud. I am acting sensible and logical.

2. I am not staying truthful to my promises. I am breaking them. I am not calling some friends back after I told then I would call. I am telling a lie sometime. Imperfect.

3. I am not being vocal yet. Not telling people to reach me out if they need help. I am not helping all of them. I am living an above middle class life. So many poor are dying of hunger and depression and I am not helping them. I think it is not my responsibility. It was Muhammad’s, but not mine.

I am not believing yet. Not bringing the magic of Allah, in my equations. I am not jumping into fire. I am afraid of million possible combinations that can go wrong, if I stand in a road corner and start calling people.

I am not fully believing yet. It is dangerous. It might take me to hell fire. Disbelieving is that dangerous.
