Anam 60-62
60- HE IS THE WHO CAUSES YOU TO DIE BY NIGHT AND KNOWS WHAT YOU DO IN THE DAY, THEN RESURRECTS YOU IN ORDER THAT A DECIDED TERM SHOULD BE FULFILLED, THEN YOUR RETURN WILL BE TO HIM, AND THEN HE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU USED TO DO.
61- AND HE IS THE OVERPOWERING OVER HIS SLAVES, AND SENDS YOU KEEPERS, UNTIL THE TIME DEATH COMES TO ONE OF YOU, OUR MESSENGERS WILL CAUSE HIM TO DIE, AND THEY NEVER FAIL.
62- THEN THEY WILL BE RETURNED BACK TO ALLAH, THEIR TRUE KIN, INDEED THE JUDGEMENT IS HIS, AND HE IS THE MOST SWIFT IN RECKONING.
Allah the Highest is called our sleep, death, for it is the minor death. Allah the Highest in Sorat Al-Zomor: “ALLAH CAUSES THE SOULS TO DIE AT THE TIME OF ITS SLEEP ALSO THOSE WHO DID NOT DIE IN ITS SLEEP, AND THEN HE HOLDS BACK THOSE HE DECREED TO DIE AND LET THE OTHERS TO KNOWN TERM”. (S: 39 A: 42)
Although we are alive when we sleep, and might also interact with the environment around us, yet our activities are largely suspended, therefore it is state of death, but only for few hours. During this state, the Muslim is held to account for what he might do. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The pen has been lifted for three (their sins are not recorded); the young until puberty, the person in sleep until he wakes up, and the afflicted in his mind until he is relieved”. (A: 1; 116 & T: Hodoud; 1 & D: Hodoud; 17)
During our activity, which is mostly during the day, our deeds are known and recorded. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement, every one will see the book where our deeds are recorded, and will look at what he has done, but will be unable to put things right.
“AND HE IS THE OVERPOWERING OVER HIS SLAVES, AND SENDS YOU KEEPERS”. Allah the Highest is Overpowering over his slaves, in that His will prevails over every one else’s will. Allah the Highest also said: “ALLAH’S COMMAND WILL PREVAIL, BUT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW”. (S: 12 A: 21)
One might ask; so why do things go wrong in the world? Why it is that Allah’s low does not prevail?
Allah the highest is able to make His Faith and His Law prevail, but mankind is given a choice and made able to choose between the right and wrong, hence the reward and punishment. This is Allah’s Policy on Earth, since Adam peace upon him.
“UNTIL THE TIME DEATH COMES TO ONE OF YOU, OUR MESSENGERS WILL CAUSE HIM TO DIE, AND THEY NEVER FAIL”.
Death is certain to come to all of us. No one whether a believer or a disbeliever doubt this, for it is certain. Allah the Highest said: “AND WORSHIP YOUR LORD UNTIL WHAT IS CERTAIN COMES TO YOU”. (S:12 A:99)
Also no one knows where they will die, or what fortune if any will they have in the future, Allah the Highest said: “AND NO SOUL KNOWS WHAT IT WILL EARN TOMORROW AND NO SOUL KNOWS IN WHICH LAND WILL IT DIE”. (S:31 A:34)
The time and place of death were decided before we were born, so is what we shall earn. The time and place of death are hidden totally from us and are not negotiable. It is a mercy from Allah the Highest that they are hidden from us. Imagine what people will do if every one knows the time and place of his death, and counting the days to that date.
“THEN THEY WILL BE RETURNED BACK TO ALLAH, THEIR TRUE KIN, INDEED THE JUDGEMENT IS HIS, AND HE IS THE MOST SWIFT IN RECKONING”
After death, we will leave the time of deeds to the time of reward or punishment but no deed. Then we will know for certain that the one most true to us is Allah the Highest and His messengers, peace upon them all. We will find that we have to face judgement, as all our deeds are recorded and the Judgement is by Allah the Highest Himself, Who is very swift.
It is better for us to believe this now and work for it, not to believe it until believing and working do not count any more.
