thousands of decrees like,

When the Earth is rocked with a great convulsion,

And the Earth casts out its burdens,

And man cries out: “What is happening to it?”

On that Day it will relate what all those upon it have done.

For so your Sustainer will have commanded it.

On that Day men will go forth in groups to the Judgement, to receive requital for their former deeds.

Then anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, shall see it.

And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it,(99:1-8)

which causes the earth to tremble, and,

But give glad tidings to those who believe and do good works that theirs shall be Paradises beneath which flow rivers. Whenever they are given fruits therefrom as sustenance, they will say: “This is what we ate before as sustenance,” for they shall be offered it in a form resembling that of this world. And they shall have there women pure and good, and they shall dwell there for ever,(2:25)

which fills all creatures with joy and eagerness. We must give heed to these decrees of the Possessor of All Dominion, the Owner of This World and the Next, and we must say, “We believe in it and we affirm it!”

All glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed You are All-Knowing, All-Wise.(2:32)

O our Sustainer, do not punish us if we forget or do wrong.(2:286)

O God, grant blessings to our master Muhammad, and to the Family of our master Muhammad, as You granted blessings to our master Abraham and to the Family of our master Abraham; indeed, all praise is Yours, all splendour. ∗ ∗ ∗
