- The last 2 segments from the Ramadan Reminders - Day 29 and 30/Juz 29 and 30:- There are very similar themes that run through the last 2 Juz of the Quran, but there is one in particular that strikes me. Its when people are given their books on the great Day. In Juz 29 it says: So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, Here, read my record! Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account. [al-Haqqah: 19-20] In Juz 30: Then, as for he who will be given his Record in his right hand, he will be judged with an easy account and will return to his family in happiness. [al-Inshiqaq] Before a person is given his/her book, they will be in a frightened state; you can imagine the nervousness, fear, and uncertainty that surrounds a person because they dont know from where they will be given their book. However the moment it enters your right hand, joy will overtake you and the verses above demonstrate what your reaction will be. Youll scream Look at my book! Look guys! I knew this Day would come. And youll run to your family in pure happiness and joy. Youll feel that relief and the burdens will go away. But then there is the other side: In Juz 29: But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, Oh, I wish I had not been given my record and had not known what my account is. I wish my death had been the end. [al-Haqqah: 25-27] In Juz 30: But as for he who is given his record behind his back, he will cry out for destruction and enter to burn in a Blaze. Verily, he was among his people in happiness! Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Allah)! [al-Inshiqaq: 10-14] These are the ones who receive their book in their left hand from behind their back. Utter regret and despair befalls them because it is a book they did not prepare for, or even acknowledge, or even care for. So whilst one group runs around in happiness telling others of their joy, another group will be sullen eyed and head hanged in sadness and despair. While one group cries out in laughter, another group will cry out for destruction and death, subhanAllah. And this is all it comes down to brothers and sisters. Live as you may, but in the end, this is all it comes down to this: A party in Paradise and a party in the Blaze. [al-Shura: 7] Allah says in Surah Aal-Imran: And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. [Aal-Imran: 185] This is true success, and the scenes above are what success looks like. It doesnt matter what success looks like on earth, the scene of receiving your book in your right hand and you running around in delight and running to your family; thats what true happiness, joy, and success really look like. May Allah accept all our worship in this month of Ramadan which has now departed. May He record all the good for us in our books and give them to us in our right hands, ameen. TaqabbalAllahu minna wa minkum brothers and sisters. I pray these reminders have been of benefit to you, we ask Allah for His continuous Mercy, Love, Guidance, and Acceptance.
