At this point,
you are not
alone in the
room where you
are reading this
book. Even at
times when you
think you are
alone you have
never really
been alone.
Allah's
appointed angels
are constantly
monitoring and
inscribing
everything that
you do. The
moment you say a
word they write
it down. Your
every step,
every thought,
everything that
you do,
including
obligations
which have been
postponed, are
all recorded
without
omission.
These angels do
not discriminate
between minor or
major actions.
Even when you
are asleep they
are constantly
with you. They
fulfil their
obligations
without error.
They are never
forgetful or
erroneous, they
carry out their
task
faultlessly. By
the same token,
your appointed
angels of death
are also
waiting. What
are they waiting
for? For your
predestined time
to be fulfilled.
When your
appointed time
of death reaches
you, it is they
who will take
delivery of your
soul.
As well as
these, there are
other witnesses
which we have
not yet
mentioned, the
ones you do not
think about,
these are your
secret
witnesses; your
hands and skin.
On the Day of
Judgment, all
these witnesses
will congregate,
and with Allah's
permission they
will speak and
give their
testimony about
you. If you
happen to be one
of those who did
not fear Allah,
or if you were
not a cautious
person they
will, testify
against you. |
