Surah al-Kahf: Ayah 49
وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا
“And the Book of Records will be placed (in everyone’s hands), and you will see the criminals, fearful of that which is (recorded) therein.
They will say: ‘Woe to us! What sort of Book is this! It has left nothing unrecorded of our doings, small or great!’ They will see before them everything, whatsoever they had done, and your Lord will not be unjust to anyone in the least.” (Surah al-Kahf: 49)
On that Great Day, when we stand in front of our Rabb, each one of us will be given our Book of Records...our ‘Saved History’...and no one would escape it.
Do you know what that Book will contain?
It will contain EVERY SINGLE THING that we EVER DID.
And EVERY SINGLE WORD that we EVER SAID.
It will contain the doings and dealings of our ENTIRE LIFE!
There will be no denying it...no hiding from it, no running away....
It will all be there.
PLAIN and SIMPLE and CLEAR for us to see.....
every single forbidden gaze we enjoyed....
every single letter we murmured and thought no one heard....
Every single deed we did and thought no one saw....
Even the very BREATHS that we ever took.....
That’s why when Imaam Ahmad was on his death bed, groaning with pain because of the agonies of death, someone said to him:
“Don’t you know that even the groaning and moaning will be written in our Book of Deeds?”
After that, no one heard, even a SINGLE SOUND from Imaam Ahmad until he passed away.
Subhaan Allaah!
Dear brothers and sisters,
Our words, our actions, our sounds, our breaths are being written and we don’t care.
We read Surah al-Kahf every Friday.
We pass by this Aayah every week and yet we don’t even pay attention.
HOW WILL WE BE when OUR Book of Records will be given to each of us?
What will we say?
What will we SEE written for us there?
THINK about this Aayah the next time you come to it.
REFLECT on the meanings.
CONTEMPLATE on what it implies.
Then BRING A *CHANGE* in your *words*,
in your *actions*,
in your *thoughts*,
in your *life*...
Don't just “READ” Surah al -Kahf every Friday....
UNDERSTAND.
REFLECT.
IMPLEMENT.
CHANGE.
