Prior Intimation of the Doomsday

English book, p. 151

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Prior Intimation of the Doomsday punishment, while those who believe and do good deeds will have forgiveness and a great reward. Is he whose evil deeds are made alluring to him so that he looks upon them as good [equal to the man who is rightly guided]? God leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. Do not destroy yourself with grief for them. God has full knowledge of all their actions.” (35:5-8) The warning given by the prophets does not come true immediately. Death, earthquakes and accidents are like a prior intimation of Doomsday. But Satan immediately warps people’s minds by saying that all these events are the result of cause and effect rather than the result of divine intervention. But all such kinds of thoughts are the deception of Satan. The day will inevitably come when truth and falsehood will be separated, when good people will be rewarded for their good deeds and evil people will be punished for their evil deeds. Almighty God has blessed every human being with the capability to think and distinguish between truth and untruth. One who utilizes this innate talent, receives proper guidance and one who does not, is left to go astray.
