Yunes 48-52
48- AND THEY SAY: “WHEN WILL WHAT YOU PROMISED HAPPEN IF YOU ARE TRUTHFUL”.
49- SAY: “I HAVE NO POWER TO DO MYSELF HARM OR BENEFIT, UNLESS ALLAH WILLS. EVERY NATION HAS A TERM, WHENEVER THEIR TERM ENDS, IT WILL NOT BE EARLIER OR LATER BY AN HOUR”.
50- SAY: “SHOULD HIS (ALLAH) PUNISHMENT COME BY NIGHT OR BT DAY, WHY DO THE EVIL DOERS WANT IT SOON”?
51- THEN WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL BELIEVE IT, THOUGH YOU ASKED FOR IT SOONER.
52- THEN IT WAS SAID TO THE TRANSGRESSORS: “TASTE THE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT; YOU ARE BEING RECOMPENSED FOR WHAT YOU EARNED”.
The disbelievers asked Mohamed, prayer and peace upon, him about the time of the Day of Resurrection, which no one knows, not even the angel Gabriel.
The angel Gabriel went to see Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, in the mosque of Medina, and he took the form of a man. Among the things he asked him, he said: “Tell me Mohamed, when is the Hour (Day of Resurrection)?” He answered: “He who is being asked does not know about it anymore than the one asking”. (M: Eman; 1)
Because the believers know that the Resurrection and Judgement will be very difficult times, they fear that day, and work towards it. Meanwhile, the disbelievers would say: let us come soon. Allah the Highest said about the Day of Resurrection: “THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN, WANT IT SOON, WHILE THOSE WHO BELIEVE FEAR IT AND KNOW THAT IT IS TRUE, INDEED THOSE WHO DOUBT THE HOUR ARE IN GREAT MISGUIDANCE”. (S: 42 A: 18)
When the Day or Resurrection takes place, then the time for believing and doing good or bad deeds is over. It is time for the recompense for what we did. No one can return to life on Earth to believe or to do good deeds. Allah the Highest tells us about this: “AND YOU WILL SEE THE EVIL DOERS WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN BEFORE THEIR LORD (SAYING): OUR LORD, WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD, LET US GO BACK TO DO GOOD DEEDS, FOR NOW WE ARE CERTAIN”. (S: 32 A: 12)
And said: “BUT WHEN THEY SAW OUR MIGHT THEY SAID: WE BELIEVE IN ALLAH ONLY AND WE REJECT THOSE WE WORSHIP BESIDES HIM * BUT THEIR BELIEF AFTER SEEING OUR MIGHT WILL NOT BENEFIT THEM, THIS IS ALLAH’S POLICY HE ORDAINED FOR HIS SLAVES, AND THEN DISBELIEVERS LOSE OUT”. (S: 40 A: 84-85)
Every person, believer or disbeliever, lives on Earth for a known term, when it ends, there can be no postponement, nor can it end sooner. Everyone has to wait for his judgement on the day of Resurrection.
Allah the Highest also tells us that the sins should to be “Earned” to be punished for it. Being “Earned” means:
- It has to be done with our full intention, not by accident or mistake or under compulsion.
- One has to do the sinful deed, not just to have thought about it or imagined it.
- Not regretting the sin, or repenting or asking Allah for forgiveness. Some might even be pleased, proud or even showing off about committing that sin.
- One may earn a sin by inviting or encouraging others to commit the sin, without one taking part themselves.
