not a secret as to why someone enters Hell, rather it is surprising to know how someone attained salvation from accountability.

Bewildering scenes on the Day of Judgement

O devotees of the Prophet! We have arrived on earth but how will we attain salvation? How will we be able to account for every deed? Our book of deeds containing every minor and major sin will be handed to us, and the sinners will say:

یٰلَیْتَنِیْ  لَمْ  اُوْتَ کِتٰبِیَہْ  (۲۵) وَ  لَمْ  اَدْرِ  مَا حِسَابِیَہْ (۲۶) یٰلَیْتَہَا کَانَتِ الْقَاضِیَۃَ (۲۷) مَاۤ  اَغْنٰی عَنِّیْ  مَالِیَہْ (۲۸) ھَلَکَ عَنِّیْ  سُلْطٰنِیَہْ (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]

How will we answer on the Day of Judgement?

O devotees of the Prophet! Think about how you will be held accountable on that Day. Unfortunately, we do not have any fear, we are lazy, heedless, greedy for wealth, tempted by worldly rank and obedient to the devil and our carnal-self. We forget about the Hereafter and engage in sins persistently, but fail to repent. We feel embarrassed and ashamed in front of people, but we have no shame before Allah Almighty when committing sins secretly at night. Remember, all of our actions will be revealed on the Day of Judgement, including every minor and major sin. Allah Almighty states:

فَمَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّۃٍ خَیْرًا یَّرَہٗ ؕ(۷) وَ مَنْ یَّعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّۃٍ  شَرًّا یَّرَہٗ (۸)
