Oppression and injustice will appear in the form of black tools and will surround us as a Prophetic tradition (Hadith) tells us, “Injustice is darkness on the Day of Resurrection.” The Qur’an says: “One Day shall you see the believing men and the believing women, how their light runs forward before them and by their right hands (their greeting will be), ‘Good News for you this Day! Gardens beneath which flows rivers! To dwell therein forever.

This is indeed the highest achievement.” (6) “And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which God has given them of His Grace think that it is good for them. Nay, it will be the worse for them.

Soon shall the things which they covetously withheld be tied to their necks like a twisted collar on the Day of Judgment to God belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth.” (7) We know that knowledge and science today tell us that nothing in the world is destroyed; material and energy are continuously changing form without them ever disappearing.

Our deeds and acts are no different and according to this rule, they remain eternally, The Holy Qur’an, in a short and strong sentence, says about the Resurrection: “ And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you), and you will see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, ‘O! Woe be upon us! What a book this is!

It, leaves out nothing, small or great, but takes account thereof!’ They will find all that they did, placed before them; and not one will your Lord treat with injustice” (8) Notice that it says you will see that very deed.

The fact that our deeds, large and small, good and bad, will remain guarded and permanent in this world and will not be destroyed and at the Day of Judgment, they will be with us, can be a warning to all so that we stand up before ugliness and evil and a corrupt environment and be loyal and desirous of good deeds. The amazing thing is that today, things have been invented which can help us envision this fact in this world.

At any rate, many of the questions which relate to the Resurrection and the eternality of rewards for good deeds and punishments for evil deeds in the Holy Qur’an refer to good or bad deeds in our spirit and body which leave effects and these effects will always remain with us.
