That is the day of approaching when...

That is the day of approaching when, because of hardship and frustration, their hearts will almost reach up to their throats. On that day, stumbles will not be raised, ransoms will not be accepted, apologies will not be excused, and repentance will not be admitted. Nothing will be there except the rewarding for the good deeds and the punishment for the evildoings.

Any believer who has done a good deed that is as slight as an atom's weight will find its reward, and any believer who has done an evildoing that is as slight as an atom's weight will find its punishment. Beware, O people, of sins and acts of disobedience (to God) against which God has warned and exhorted in the truthful Book and the articulate rhetoric.

Do not feel secure from the retribution and destruction of God when the Shaitan urges you enjoying the transitory passions and pleasures of this world. God says: When a satanic thought starts to bother the pious ones, they understand and see the light. Take God-fearing as the slogan of your hearts and always remember that God promised you of the good rewarding and warned you against the painful anguish when you will be returned to Him.

He whoever fears something will certainly beware of it, and whoever bewares of something will desert it. Do not be with the inadvertent ones who incline to the temporary pleasures of this world and who devised evil plans. God the Exalted says: Can they who have devised evil plans expect to be safe from the command of God to the earth to swallow them up, or from a torment which might strike them from an unexpected direction?

Are they confident that God will not seize them while they are on a journey? They will not be able to escape from God. Are they confident that God will not slowly destroy them? I warn you lest you will encounter the same retribution that God imposed upon the unjust ones and mentioned in the Book. Do not feel safe from suffering a part of the anguish with which God threatened the unjust people in His Book. God has surely provided other people as means of admonition to you.

The very happy is that who learns lessons from others. God, in the Book, has also attracted your attentions to the punishments that He imposed upon the unjust people who preceded you. He says: How many unjust towns did We destroy and replace them with other nations. When they found Our torment approaching them they started to run away from the town. We told them, "Do not run away.
