Yunes (Jonah) 3-4
3- INDEED YOUR LORD IS ALLAH WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND EARTH IN SIX DAYS AND THEN SETTLED ON THE THRONE, HE IS IN COMMAND OF ALL THINGS, NO ONE MAY INTERCEDE TO HIM EXCEPT WITH HIS PERMISSION, THIS IS ALLAH YOUR LORD, WORSHIP HIM, DO YOU NOT THINK.
4- TO HIM YOU WILL ALL RETURN, FOR ALLAH PROMISE IS TRUE, HE STARTED THE CREATION AND WILL BRING IT BACK, HE WILL RECOMPENSE THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO GOOD DEEDS JUSTLY, AS FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT BELIEVE, THEY WILL HAVE A VERY HOT DRINK AND PAINFUL PUNISHMENT, BECAUSE OF THEIR DISBELIEVE.
Allah the Highest is our God and our Lord. The Lord is the one in Charge and who has authority, the one in command of everything. On the Day of Resurrection, interceding for any one, or even saying a word, should be after his permission.
Allah the Highest tells us that He created the Heavens and Earth in six days. They are not six days of the week 24 hours each, but this means six periods of time, the duration of each is best known to Allah the Highest, but it is probably in millions or billions of years of our time.
Then Allah the Highest settled on the throne. As we do not know what Allah the Highest is like, for He is not like anything we know, for he said: “THERE IS NOT A THING LIKE HIM”, therefore we cannot tell what His throne is like and how He settled on it.
Intercession is a special privilege and honour Allah the Highest bestows on his people, such as the messengers, prophets, the martyrs, and some pious and righteous people. They are all people Allah the Highest permitted to intercede. Allah the Highest said: “WHO IS HE WHO MAY INTERCEDE TO HIM EXCEPT WITH HIS PERMISSION?” (S: 2 A: 255)
In Ayah Al-Korsi Allah the Highest tells us about Him being in charge of the Heavens and Earth and all there is in them, saying: “ALLAH, THERE IS NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, THE LIVING AND THE SUSTAINER. NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP OVERTAKES HIM. TO HIM BELONGS ALL THERE IS IN THE HEAVENS AND IN THE EARTH. WHO IS HE WHO MAY INTERCEDE TO HIM EXCEPT WITH HIS PERMISSION? HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEFORE THEM AND WHAT IS BEHIND THEM, BUT THEY KNOW NONE OF HIS KNOWLEDGE EXCEPT WHAT HE WILLS. HIS CHAIR EMBRACES THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND HE NEVER TIRES OF KEEPING THEM, AND HE IS THE HIGHEST THE GREATEST”. (S: 2 A: 255)
Allah the Highest created the creation, the stars, galaxies, planets, moons, and beings. The creatures given minds and guidance as well as the ability to choose, are the human beings and jinn. These are the ones we know about, but there might be others throughout the universe. These creatures will be judged on the Day of Resurrection, and consequently rewarded or punished.
The recompense of the believers who do good deeds is great, and it is in a physical form, of living in delightful gardens, in beautiful houses, and surrounded by all beautiful things. They will enjoy peace and tranquillity, and feel no worry or hatred.
As for the disbelievers, Allah the Highest tells us about their punishment is physical, the water they have to drink will be very hot, and the punishment is generally painful. They will never enjoy peace or tranquillity, and will always feel envious of those in Paradise, and regret that they did not believe while living on Earth.
The reward and punishment are, physical and felt, as well as emotional pain, of the kind we encounter on Earth and we are well acquainted with.
The main reason for their punishment is their disbelief.
