?Which of them occurs first; the rising of the sun from the west or the appearing of the Imam
In the name of Allah the All Merciful, the Most Merciful, prayer of forgiveness and peace be upon all prophets of Allah and His messengers of mankind and jinn, and peace upon the believers who are followers to the True explanatory-statement for the Quran till the day of judgement, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds..
O my beloveds the best foremost supporters in the era of dialogue before appearing, surely each messenger that Allah sent him to his people calling them to worship Allah, Him Alone, no partner for him, and to follow Allah’s Book that been sent down upon him and the belief in His Books and His messengers from before him, so if they turned away, then he warns them from a decreed chastisement for them in the Book for if they disbelieved in the True call from their Lord, until when Allah’s promise in the chastisement came to them then they believe altogether, [U]except that the belief in Allah and His messenger could not benefit them at the time of occurring of the chastisement to the fact that is Allah’s law against who disbelieved in the Book. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{Their reckoning draws nigh to people, and they turn away in heedlessness.(1) There comes not to them a new Reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,(2) Their hearts trifling. And they —the wrongdoers — counsel in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; will you then yield to enchantment while you see?(3) He said: My Lord knows (every) utterance in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.(4) Nay, they say: Medleys of dreams! nay, he has forged it! nay, he is a poet! so let him bring to us a sign such as the former (prophets) were sent (with).(5) Not a town believed before them which We destroyed: will they then believe?(6) And We sent not before you any but men to whom We sent revelation; so ask the followers of the Reminder if you know not.(7) Nor did We give them bodies not eating food, nor did they abide.(8) Then We made Our promise good to them; so We delivered them and whom We pleased, and We destroyed the extravagant.(9) Certainly We have revealed to you a Book which will give you eminence. Do you not then understand?(10) And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it other people!(11) So when they felt Our might, lo! they began to flee from it.(12) Flee not and return to the easy lives which you led, and to your dwellings, that you may be questioned.(13) They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust.(14) And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15) And We created not the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport.(16)}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Anbyã´} 21:1-16
{اقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴿١﴾ مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا اسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿٢﴾ لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٣﴾ قَالَ رَبِّي يَعْلَمُ الْقَوْلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿٤﴾ بَلْ قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَةٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿٥﴾ مَا آمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٦﴾ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٧﴾ وَمَا جَعَلْنَاهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا خَالِدِينَ ﴿٨﴾ ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَاهُمُ الْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَاءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٩﴾ لَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ كِتَابًا فِيهِ ذِكْرُكُمْ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٠﴾وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ﴿١١﴾ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ ﴿١٢﴾ لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ ﴿١٣﴾ قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾ وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ﴿١٦﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الأنبياء].
Ponder over the word of Allah the Most High:
{And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it other people!(11) So when they felt Our might, lo! they began to flee from it.(12) Flee not and return to the easy lives which you led, and to your dwellings, that you may be questioned.(13) They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust.(14) And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15)}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Anbyã´] 21:11-15
{وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ﴿١١﴾ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ ﴿١٢﴾ لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ ﴿١٣﴾ قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الأنبياء].
So what is the explanatory-statement for the word of Allah the Most High:
{They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust.(14) And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15)}Truthful Allah the Great? In a sense that they did regret on their disbelief in Allah and His messenger and they acknowledge that they were wrongdoers, and the belief could not benefit them nor the confession with their wrongdoing to themselves because of their denial to the messengers of their Lord. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And how many a town which rebelled against the commandment of its Lord and His messengers, so We called it to severe account and We chastised it with a stern chastisement!(8) So it tasted the evil consequences of its conduct, and the end of its affair was perdition.(9)}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Talaaq] 65:8-9. And at the time of occurring of the chastisement they believe in Allah and His messengers, and their belief could not benefiting them at the moment of occurrence of the chastisement. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{And why was there not a town which believed, so that their belief should have profited them, but the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the chastisement of disgrace in this world’s life, and We gave them provision for a while.}Truthful Allah the Great [Younus] 10:98
{قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾} صدق الله العظيم
{وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا ﴿٨﴾ فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا ﴿٩﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الطلاق].
{فَلَوْلاَ كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ آمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَا إيمانهَا إِلاَّ قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الخِزْيِ فِي الحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ} صدق الله العظيم [يونس:98].
And the question that comes up is: Why it could not benefit the people of the towns their faith in Allah and His messengers at theim of occurring of the chastisement, and the fact they confessed that they were wrongdoers to themselves because of the denying to the messengers of their Lord? And you find the answer in the word of Allah the Most High:
{And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it other people!(11) So when they felt Our might, lo! they began to flee from it.(12) Flee not and return to the easy lives which you led, and to your dwellings, that you may be questioned.(13) They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust.(14) And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15)}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Anbyã´] 21:11-15
{وَكَمْ قَصَمْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً وَأَنشَأْنَا بَعْدَهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ﴿١١﴾ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ ﴿١٢﴾ لَا تَرْكُضُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَا أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَاكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ ﴿١٣﴾ قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الأنبياء].
And another question that arises and it is: What is the intended from the word of Allah the Most High:
{And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15)}Truthful Allah the Great, and the True explanatory-statement is that they did not add to that, to the fact they only believed in Allah and His messengers at the instance of the chastisement and they confess in their wrongdoing to themselves:
{They said: O woe to us! Surely we were unjust.(14) And this cry of theirs ceased not till We made them cut off, extinct.(15)}Truthful Allah the Great
{فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾}
{قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿١٤﴾ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿١٥﴾} صدق الله العظيم.
And the question is:
What is the secret of singling out the people of Jonahin the word of Allah the Most High:
{And why was there not a town which believed, so that their belief should have profited them, but the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the chastisement of disgrace in this world’s life, and We gave them provision for a while.}Truthful Allah the Great, [Yunus] 10:98, and you find the answer in the decisive Book that
indeed it is the same secret of the nation of the Awaited Mahdi that in his era Allah will remove from the chastisement because of their belief in the Truth from their Lord and admission of their wrongdoing to themselves then they said:
{Our Lord, remove from us the chastisement — surely we are believers}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Dukhãn] 44:12, since that Allah promised His servants an absolute promise without restrictions nor limits that He would answer their call that is sincerely made absolute to their Lord the word of Allah the Most High:
{And your Lord says: Pray to Me, I will answer you.}Truthful Allah the Great [Ghãfer] 40:60
{فَلَوْلاَ كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ آمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَا إيمانهَا إِلاَّ قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الخِزْيِ فِي الحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ}
{رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [الدخان:12]
{وَقَالَ ربّكم ٱدْعُونِى أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ} صدق الله العظيم [غافر:60].
On a condition that the servants call their Lord
being sincere in the religion to Him Alone without ascribing partners in the prayer-call to His close servants. And Allah the Most High said:
{And when My servants ask you concerning Me, surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me,..}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Baqarah] 2:186
{وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنّي فإنّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ} صدق الله العظيم [البقرة:186].
The True explanatory-statement for the word of Allah the Most High:
{..I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me,..}Truthful Allah the Great; Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{He it is Who makes you travel by land and sea; until, when you are in the ships, and they sail on with them in a pleasant breeze, and they rejoice at it, a violent wind overtakes them and the billows surge in on them from all sides, and they deem that they are encompassed about. Then they pray to Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience: If You deliver us from this, we will certainly be of the grateful ones.}Truthful Allah the Great [Younus] 10:22; which is if one calls on Allah Alone being sincere to Him in the call without associating (any with Him) for the fact Allah answers the call of the disbelievers if they had been sincere in their call to their Lord then most definitely He responds to them.
{أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ}
{هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُواْ بِهَا جَاءتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَاءهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّواْ أنّهم أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُاْ اللّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَـذِهِ لَنَكُونَنِّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ} صدق الله العظيم [يونس:22].
Then Allah answers them because He did not find in their call association at its instance because they forgot their gods at that time whom they associated them with their Lord and the called on Allah being sincere for Him in the religion despite Allah knows that some of them who will return to his association with his Lord and in spite that Allah answers his call. And Allah the Most High said:
{So when they ride in the ships, they call upon Allah, being sincerely obedient to Him; but when He brings them safe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him),}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-`Ankaboot] 29:65
{فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [العنكبوت:65].
And Allah the Most High said:
{And when a wave like awnings covers them, they call upon Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience. But when He brings them safe to land, some of them follow the middle course. And none denies Our signs but every perfidious, ungrateful one.}Truthful Allah the Great [Luqmãn] 31:32
{وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ} صدق الله العظيم [لقمان:32].
O folks, in this case indeed Allah answers the call of the believers, disbelievers, polytheists and atheists altogether if the requirement the supplication-call got available which it is the sincerity. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{So when they ride in the ships, they call upon Allah, being sincerely obedient to Him; but when He brings them safe to the land, lo! they associate others (with Him),}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-`Ankaboot] 29:65, don’t you know that Allah issued fatwa to you in the Book that He does not chastise who turned close to Him and asked forgiveness and repented at the instance of the chastisement. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{.. nor would Allah chastise them while they seek forgiveness.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Anfãl] 8:33. Therefore the belief and the confession in the wrongdoing does not benefit at the instance of the chastisement if it did accompany that call and the seeking of forgiveness; so they say:
{.. Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves; and if You do not forgive us, and (not) have mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-A`arãf] 7:23
{فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [العنكبوت:65].
{وَمَا كَانَ الّلهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [الأنفال:33]
{رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} صدق الله العظيم [الأعراف:23].
O for my wonder from folks who know that the sunrise from its setting (place) because of occurrence of the chastisement then the seduce the people to despair from the mercy of their Lord then they bring the word of Allah the Most High:
{They wait not aught but that the angels should come to them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of the signs of your Lord should come. On the day when some of the signs of your Lord come, its faith will not benefit a soul which believed not before, nor earned good through its faith. Say: Wait; we too are waiting.}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-An`ãm] 6:158
{هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إيمانهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إيمانهَا خَيْرًا قُلِ انتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [الأنعام:158].
Then one of the scholars of the Muslims says: O Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni, isn’t this fatwa from Lord of the worlds at the instance of chastisement on the night of rising of the sun from the west that the belief of the disbeliever would not benefit if did not earn good through his faith, Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{..On the day when some of the signs of your Lord come, its faith will not benefit a soul which believed not before, nor earned good through its faith..}Truthful Allah the Great?”. Then the Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni replies to him and I say: Oh by Allah yes, I do not know that the faith would benefit the disbelievers at the instance of the chastisement, nor I know that it does benefit the belief of the Muslim in his Lord then he does not follow the Truth from his Lord, has previously benefit the belief of people of the towns throughout sending all the prophets and the messengers? The faith could not benefit them at the instance of the chastisement to the fact that is Allah’s law in the Book. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{Do they not travel in the land and see what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned availed them not.(82) Then when their messengers came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge and that at which they used to mock befell them.(83) So when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah alone, and we deny what we used to associate with Him.(84) But their faith could not profit them when they saw Our punishment. Such is Allah’s law, whichever takes its course in the matter of His servants; and there the disbelievers are lost.(85)}Truthful Allah the Great [[Ghãfer] 40:82-85
{يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إيمانهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إيمانهَا خَيْرًا}
{أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾ فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرِحُوا بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّـهِ وَحْدَهُ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِ مُشْرِكِينَ ﴿٨٤﴾ فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَانُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا سُنَّتَ اللَّـهِ الَّتِي قَدْ خَلَتْ فِي عِبَادِهِ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿٨٥﴾} صدق الله العظيم [غافر].
Then it clears to you the True explanatory-statement for the word of Allah the Most High:
{..On the day when some of the signs of your Lord come, its faith will not benefit a soul which believed not before, nor earned good through its faith..}}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-An`ãm] 6:158
{يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنفَعُ نَفْسًا إيمانهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إيمانهَا خَيْرًا} صدق الله العظيم [الأنعام:158].
Indeed that is Allah’s law in the Book throughout the ancient disbelievers and the later ones where the faith could not benefit them at the instance of the chastisement to the fact this is Allah’s sunna in the Book, but it will benefit them
the supplication-call and the faith together. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{H.M.(1) By the Book that makes manifest!(2) We revealed it on a blessed night— truly We are ever warning.(3) Therein every commandment full of wisdom would be made distinct;(4) A command from Us — truly We are ever sending messengers;(5) A mercy from your Lord — truly He is the Hearing, the Knowing,(6) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.(7) There is no God but He; He gives life and causes death — your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.(8) In fact, in doubt they sport.(9) So wait for the day when the heaven brings a manifest smoke,(10) Enveloping the people. This is a painful chastisement.(11) Our Lord, remove from us the chastisement — surely we are believers.(12) When will they be reminded? And a Messenger has indeed come, making clear;(13) Yet they turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman!(14) We shall remove the chastisement a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).(15) On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution.(16)}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Dukhãn] 44:1-16
{حم (1) وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ (2) إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ (3) فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ (4) أَمْراً مِّنْ عِندِنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ (5) رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ أنّه هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (6) رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ (7) لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ربّكم وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ (8) بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ (9) فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاء بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ (10) يَغْشَى النّاس هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (11) رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ (12) أَنَّى لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَى وَقَدْ جَاءهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ (13) ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ (14) إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلاً إنّكم عَائِدُونَ (15) يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ (16)} صدق الله العظيم [الدخان].
In fact, even those who the Hour would come upon them, and it is the Hour, if were to accompany their faith in their Lord the imploring and the supplication-call — Allah would have answered their call and removed the Hour from them for a while. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{Say: See, if the chastisement of Allah overtake you or the Hour come upon you, will you call on others than Allah, if you are truthful?(40) In fact, Him you call upon, so He removes that for which you pray, if He pleases, and you forget what you set up (with Him).(41) }Truthful Allah the Great [Al-An`ãm] 6:40-41
{قُلْ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللَّـهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ اللَّـهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾ بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِن شَاءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٤١﴾} صدق الله العظيم [الأنعام].
But the sorrow and the regret alone without seeking the forgiveness, imploring and the supplication-call — would never benefit those who the Hour will come upon them. Confirming with the word of Allah the Most High:
{They have lost indeed who rejected the meeting with Allah, until when the hour comes upon them suddenly, they will say: O our sorrow for our neglecting it! And they bear their burdens on their backs. Now surely evil is that which they bear!}Truthful Allah the Great [[Al-An`ãm] 6:31
{قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَاء اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَتْهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُواْ يَا حَسْرَتَنَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَى ظُهُورِهِمْ أَلاَ سَاء مَا يَزِرُونَ} صدق الله العظيم [الأنعام:31].
The question that comes up is: Why their burdens still on their backs? And the answer is: for lack of imparting and asking forgiveness because of their despair from Allah’s mercy the Most Merciful of all who have mercy, don’t they know that Allah is Possessor of power over all things?
Indeed by Allah that the despairing from Allah’s mercy is a disbelief of a great sin in the Book. And Allah the Most High said:
{..and despair not of Allah’s mercy. Surely none despairs of Allah’s mercy except the disbelieving people.}Truthful Allah the Great [Yousuf] 12:87
{وَلَا تَيْئَسُوا مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ أنّه لَا يَيْئَسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ } صدق الله العظيم [يوسف:87].
And Allah the Most High said:
{..And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord but the erring ones?}Truthful Allah the Great [Al-Hijr] 15:56, O our Allah I just delivered the message.. O our Allah bear witness.
{وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ربّه إِلاَّ الضَّآلُّونَ} صدق الله العظيم [الحجر:56]
Did Allah forbid on you the belief in the Truth from your Lord, so you delay it until you see the sun rises from its setting (place)? Only that is night of the comprehensive appearing over all the humans — Allah will make His khalifa the Awaited Mahdi to appear for if they turned away from following the Reminder (Quran) and the resorting for judgement to it, and the disbelief in what is contrary to it decisive-law in the whole Book before it. O our Allah I just delivered the message.. O our Allah bear witness.
..And peace be upon the messengers, and praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds
Brother of the humans by blood from Eve and Adam; the Awaited Mahdi Allah’s khalifa and His servant; the Imam Nasser Mohammad Al-Yemeni
