Al Rum: The Day Of Resurrection You Were Not Aware
"The heavens and the earth include mankind and all other creatures and millions of stars. Man is himself but a tiny part of creation. Why should he be so egocentric? The whole is greater than a tiny part of it. And Allah who created the whole of the Worlds is able to do much more wonderful things than can enter the imagination of man. Why should man be arrogant and doubt the Resurrection, and take upon himself to doubt the possibility of Allah's Revelation? It is only because he has made himself blind.”Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, p. 122
The Holy Qur'n
Surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
55. On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded!
56. But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
57. So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors, nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance).
58. Verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'n every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities.”
59. Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
60. So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.
Surah 30:55-60 Al Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines)
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'n, Amana Corporation, 1989.
And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry,|
But an hour - Thus were they ever deceived.
But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say:
"The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection.
This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice,
Nor will they be allowed to make amends.
Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'n all kinds of similitudes;
And indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle,
Those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.
So have patience! Allah's promise is the very truth,
And let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.
surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
(Mohammed Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Quran, U. of Michigan.)
And at the time when the hour shall come,
The guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour;
Thus are they ever turned away.
And those who are given knowledge and faith will say:
"Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah,
Till the day of Resurrection,
So this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know."
But on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust,
Nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.
And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran;
And if you should bring them a communication,
Those who disbelieve would certainly say:You are naught but false claimants.
Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know.
Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true,
And let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation.
surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'n, University of Michigan.)
The day Resurrection is set the sinners will swear:
"We did not tarry more than an hour (and cannot be guilty).”
That is how they have always been deceived.
But those who were given the knowledge and belief will say:
"You have tarried, according to the Book of God,
As long as the Day of Resurrection,
And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
Their excuses will be of no avail to the sinners on that day,
And they will not be allowed to beg for favour.
We have offered every kind of example here in this Qur'n to men.
Even then if you bring a verse to them, those who disbelieve say:
"You are nothing but a liar.”
That is how God seals the hearts of those who do not know.
So have patience. The promise of God is surely true;
And let not those who do not believe make you relax (your endeavours).
surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
(Ahmed Ali, Islam: The Qur'n, Princeton University Press, 1988.)
But Ye - Ye Were Not Aware!
On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established,
The transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour:
Thus were they used to being deluded!
But those endued with knowledge and faith will say:
"Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection,
And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors,
Nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance.)
Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'n every kind of Parable:
But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say,
"Ye do nothing but talk vanities.”
Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true:
Nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.

To all Muslims (Al-Kafirun The Disbelievers) who reject the News (Al-Naba) of The Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah):
"This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
How and why is it possible that this News of the Resurrection remain unexplained, though read millions of times by sheikhs, imams, ayatollahs, amirs, caliphs, ulama, mu'ttilah, aalims, mujtahids, mullahs and muftis?
"So this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.”
How and why is it possible that this News of the Resurrection remain incomprehensible, though read billions of times over hundreds of years?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
How and why is it possible that this Al-Naba of Qiyamahh remain camouflaged, though studied and analyzed countless times by thousands of Islamic scholars?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
How and why is it possible that this Al-Naba of Qiyamah remain suppressed, though far petty issues are magnified, and mountains made out of molehills?
"This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
Why do so many fools believe that humans will not be aware of Qiyamah although the sky will be like molten brass and graves will be splitting open? Or have they been deceived by Thieves of Truth about the difference between Al Qadr and Al Qairah?
"So this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.”
Why do so many idiots think that humans will not be aware of Qiyamah although heavens will open and mountains will vanish? Or have they been fooled by the guardians of their religious regimes and sacts that Al Qadr and Al Qairah are one and the same?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
Why do so many fundamentalists think that humans will not be aware of Qiyamah although Earth will be in convulsion and stars and oceans scattered? Or has Satan mislead them that the Night of Honor and Power and the Day of Noise and Clamor are one and the same?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Why do so many fanatics think that humans will not be aware of Qiyamah although graves will be turned upside down and trumpets of destruction sounded? Or has Iblis deluded them that the Good News of the Resurrection and the Blowing of Trumpets of the End are one and the same?
"This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
Why do so many arrogant humans think that they will be able to deny Allah's Call of Qiyamah? Or is it that the Quranic prophecy that this is the Day they will not be aware must come true?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Are ye aware now? Or is it that the Quranic declaration that this is the Day they will go back to their families in conceit after hearing about Al-Qiyamah must be fulfilled?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
Why do so many hypocrites think that they will be able to defy Allah's Blast of Qiyamah? Or is it that the Quranic revelation that Allah's Sure Signs will be rejected must run its course?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Are ye aware now? Or is it that the Quranic verses that this is the Day sheikhs, imams, ayatollahs, amirs, caliphs, ulama, mu'ttilah, aalims, mujtahids, mullahs and muftis will deny as tales of ancients must come true?
"This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
Are the fools now aware of Qiyamah, or will they still wait for the Day the sky will melt and Earth pulverized into powder? Or have the Hypocrites deluded them that Allah's Mercy of the Resurrection and His Wrath of the End are one and the same?
"So this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know.”
Are the idiots now conscious of Qiyamah, or will they still wait for Earth to convulse and zombies arising from graves? Or have the Transgressors beguiled them that the commencement of Qiyamah and the trumpeting of the End are one and the same?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
Are the zealots now mindful of Qiyamah, or will they still wait for the moon to crash into the sun and stars to dim? Or have the Thieves of Truth confused them that the Solar Eclipse commencing Qiyamah and 'moon crashing into sun' are one and the same?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
Are the Thieves of Truth now cognizant of Qiyamah, or will they still wait for the heavens to rent asunder and humans to shriek and freak? Or have the Evil One beguiled them that the Mighty Blast of Truth and 'heavens rent asunder' are one and the same?
"And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know.”
Will the followers of religious regimes and sects, without any excuse for their transgression, be invited to seek the Grace of Allah during Qiyamah? Or will they stalk back to their families full of conceit?
"This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.”
Will the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun), after being shown the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, and revelations), surrender in universal submission. Or will the sheikhs, imams, ayatollahs, amirs, caliphs, ulama, mu'ttilah, aalims, mujtahids, mullahs and muftis still say," Ye do nothing but talk vanities.”?
The Muslims have corrupted the true meaning of the Qur'n, reducing Divine Revelations par excellence into confusing, contradicting, shallow statements of scriptural schizophrenia. Assumed or conjectured truth - built on fabrications, falsehood, misinterpretations and a distortion of Reality - is the work of the Evil One. It leads even the Believers to hell for following those who have falsified the Written Word. Khudda has given each of them eyes to see, ears to hear, tongues to speak, and brains to understand the Qur'n. Why has not a single Muslim till today questioned the satanic interpretation of surah 75? Did Allah in any way deprive them of verifying the Truth? Did He in any way hinder them from seeking the Truth? Did He in any way impede them from embracing the Truth?
Allah is flawless in His Plan and those who try to cover His 'mistakes' are those who have been led astray.
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Sure Signs!
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Revealed Truth!
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Resurrection!
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Mercy!
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Compassion!
Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Love!
So hide wherever but you cannot now deny His Announcement (An-Naba) of Qiyamah!
So flee wherever you want but there is no refuge from His Call of Resurrection!
Woe to thee, O hypocrites! yea, woe! Misery to thee, O blind fools!, yea, misery!
Wretchedness to you, O Rejecters of Revelation! yes, wretchedness!
You do deserve your approaching Death and Destruction; Truly you do deserve it!
Be forewarned, Corrupters of Truth, be forewarned!

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [5889]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

"The Last Judgment has started. We are facing the Last Judgment today. We are not aware of it. And all the satanic forces have come out like the wolves in sheep's clothes. And they are trying to attract you and you do not judge them. You only sit down and judge the Reality. It has started! It is a fact! It has started!"

"One, we must reject adulation of leaders. We must bow only to God. All human beings are equal - none higher or lower than the other. This will rekindle the spirit of jihad (struggling in God's cause) among Muslims. Two, we must reject taqlid (un-questioning acceptance of human authority.) We must use our minds to gain knowledge. We read all books, but critically. We learn from all teachers, but without forgetting our critical faculty. In this way, we shall inherit only the good from our ancestors; the bad we shall cast aside. Thus will the Islamic intellect blossom again. Three, we must reject fatalism. Our fates as individuals and as a nation is shaped by ourselves, not by taqdir (divine predestination.) The law is: those who strive will attain; those who do not strive will not. Man cannot know his capacity until he tries. The Omniscient God knows everything from beginning to end, but man does not know what God knows...
We have no intention of toppling the ulama (religious scholars or leaders) or wresting away their positions. We only want the Muslims, including the leaders and the intellectuals, in our country to adhere truly to the Quran. Some claim that this problem need not be re-opened as it was solved long ago. These people are like ostriches, burying their heads in the sand and saying there is nothing to worry about since they can see nothing! Islamic communities all over the world as well as in our country are bogged down with problems they cannot overcome. Why? Because we live in darkness. How could we see in the dark? We need to get out of the darkness by using a bright torch. That torch is the Quran. As I stated in the beginning of this letter, the time has come for Muslims and mankind in general to return to God's teachings. Our society, both national and international, is hit by crisis after crisis; the only way we can overcome these is by returning to the teachings of the Omniscient God, i.e., the Quran. Such is the importance of the Quran to us and to the world.”
Dr. Rashad Khalifa, Ph.d
"According to the Qur'n (the basic source of Islamic belief), when God created Adam (pbuh) and directed the assembly of angels to prostrate before Adam (pbuh), Iblis —a Jinni—was also present in the court. All the angels obediently prostrated before Adam (pbuh). However, Iblis—the Jinn—arrogantly refused to do so. This, obviously, was a transgression on the part of Iblis. It was this transgression of Iblis that made him deserving of the name 'l-Shaitaan'[1] (the Satan). As a result of this transgression, God turned Iblis out of His court and sentenced him to punishment. However, Iblis asked God for respite till the Day of Judgment and declared that because God had turned him out of his court and had sentenced him to punishment because of man, he would therefore always be an enemy to man. He, and those who become his agents, would do all that they can to turn man away from the path of God.”

"One of the ways Satan leads human beings astray is by making evil look good.
On this point, ibn al-Qayyim wrote the following:
'From his strategem is that he always bewitches the mind until he can deceive the person. No one is safe from his bewitching except whomsoever Allah wills. He makes good looking to him what harms him the most, until he imagines that it is the most beneficial act for himself. And he makes him flee from the most beneficial act until he thinks it is something harmful to him. Certainly, there is no god but Allah. How many humans have been tested by such sorcery. How many hearts have been kept from Islam, faith and goodness [by such sorcery]. And how many support and present falsehood in the best form and hate truth and present it in the worst form [because of his deception]. And how much falseness is adorned and shown in a desirious manner to the alert. And how much falseness is spread among the wise. He is the one who bewitches the mind until it follows different desires and various evil opinions. He makes them follow every path of misguidance. He leads them to actions, one after another, that cause their destruction. He makes appealing to them the worship of idols, the breaking of familial relationships, the killing of daughters, marrying one's mother and so on. And he promises them the victory of paradise with their infidelity, wickedness and acts of disobedience. He presents to them polytheism in the most honorable fashion. And he presents rejection of Allah's attributes, of His transcendence and of His speech in the guise of anti-anthropomorphism of Allah. He presents abandoning ordering good and eradicating evil in the guise of having mercy for others, behaving with others in a good manner, and applying the verse," O believers, you are in charge of your own souls" (al-Maidah 105). And he presents turning away from what has come from the Messenger in the guise of blindly following the Imams (taqleed) and the sufficiency of following one who is more knowledgeable. And he presents hypocrisy and compromising with respect to Allah's religion in the guise of being flexible and mixing admirably with the people.”
