Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tawheedal-mufadhdhal The Second Meeting Mufadhdhal says, At dawn, I hastened early to my master and after being permitted to come in, he asked me to sit down. He said, All praise is due to Allah, the Manager of all things and the Repeater of the ages; a stage after a stage and a world after a world to reward the righteous and to chastise the evildoers due to what they have done out of His justice. All His Names are exalted. His blessings are magnificent.

He does not do the least injustice to His creatures, but man himself does injustice to himself. His saying confirms that, (Then he who hath done an atoms weight of good shall see it, and he who hath done an atoms weight of evil shall see it) .[1] There are other verses in the Holy Book to this same effect giving detailed explanations of all matters. Falsehood cannot come in front of nor behind it. It is a Book revealed by the Almighty Praiseworthy Allah.

It is on this account that the Holy Prophet (S.A.) has said, It is your actions that will be returned to you (reward and chastisement are just the consequences of actions, which you will receive; they do not benefit Allah, rather you yourself will be the beneficiary). Imam as-Sadiq (a.s) bent down his head for a while and said, O Mufadhdhal, people are perplexed and bewildered, blind, [1] Quran, 99:7-8. infatuated moving in their perverseness, following their devils and spectres.

They have eyes but they do not see, they have tongues but are dumb and do not understand. They have ears but do not hear. They are happy in their contemptible degradation. They presume that they are well‑guided. They are diverted from the rank of rational beings. They feed in the fields of polluted, dirty people. (They repeat what the irrational people say, denying the Almighty Allah and setting up nature or instinct as the creator of all things).

They deem themselves safe from a sudden visitation of death and the retribution of deeds. Alas! How ill‑fated these people are! How frightfully prolonged their painful sorrow will be, and how dreadful the retribution on the day when no ally will avail anyone nor will he be succoured, except those to whom Allah grants Mercy (on the day of Resurrection). Al-Mufadhdhal said, I began crying when I heard him saying that. Imam as-Sadiq (s) said, Do not cry!

You have been saved where you have believed and you have been delivered where you have known.
