wrathful call, we will hesitate, feel scared, and try to hide, but who will be able to hide on that day? The angels will drag us to the court of Allah Almighty. In this terrifying situation, how will we give accountability for each action of ours? We will be given our book of deeds in our hand, and it will contain every single deed, from the smallest to the largest. The wrongdoers will say:

یٰلَیۡتَنِیۡ  لَمۡ  اُوۡتَ کِتٰبِیَہۡ  (ۚ۲۵)وَ  لَمۡ  اَدۡرِ  مَا حِسَابِیَہۡ (ۚ۲۶)یٰلَیۡتَہَا کَانَتِ الۡقَاضِیَۃَ (ۚ۲۷)مَاۤ  اَغۡنٰی عَنِّیۡ  مَالِیَہۡ (ۚ۲۸)ہَلَکَ عَنِّیۡ  سُلۡطٰنِیَہۡ (ۚ۲۹)

“Alas, would that I had never been given my record of deeds. And I had not known my accountability. Alas, would that it (death) had ended my matter. My wealth has not availed me. My power has gone from me.”^[1]

What answer will we give on the Day of Judgement?

O devotees of the Prophet! Reflect! How will we give accountability on that day? It is unfortunate that we do not have any fear, display laziness, remain heedless, forget our Hereafter in pursuit of our greed for material things, worldly positions and fall prey to the traps of Satan and the carnal-self. We run from repentance, we feel shame before people, but not before Allah Almighty. We commit sins by night, but we must remember that no deed will be hidden on the Day of Judgement, and the smallest of deeds to the largest of them will be brought forward.

Allah Almighty states:

فَمَنۡ یَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّۃٍ خَیۡرًا یَّرَہٗ ؕ(۷)وَ مَنۡ یَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّۃٍ  شَرًّا یَّرَہٗ ٪(۸)
