He Who sent down Tranquility.
Allah swt. admits the Believers, men and women,
to Gardens beneath which rivers flow,
They are welcome to dwell therein forever, and
that is, in the sight of Allah, the highest achievement.
Who imagine an evil opinion of Allah, on them is
a round of Evil,
The wrath of Allah is on them, He has cursed them
and got Hell ready for them, and evil is it for a destination,
Allah is exalted in Power and full of Wisdom.
“Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory;
That Allah may forgive thee, thy faults of the
past and those to follow;
Fulfil His favour to thee; And guide thee on the
Straight Way;
And that Allah may help thee with powerful help.
It is He Who sent down tranquility into the
hearts of the Believers, that they may add Faith to their Faith;
For to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and
the earth, and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom”. (Al Fath: 1 – 4).
Allah has truly sent Muhammad saw. As a witness,
as a Bringer of Glad Tidings and as a Warner,
In order that men and women may believe in Allah
and His Apostle, that they may assist and honour Him,
And celebrate His praises morning and evening.

And Black Intense in Hue.
What a wonderful creation of Allah; His creation
of the heavens and the earth, in the alteration of the night and the day, in
the sailing of the ships through the ocean, in the voyage through the space of
the sky.
And the life which He gives to the earth, in the drifted cloud blown by the changing
winds.
Celebrate the praises of Allah, by standing,
sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the wonders of His
creation:
“Ya Allah, not for naught hast Thou created all
this!
Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the Penalty
of the Fire”.
“See thou
not that Allah sends down rain from the sky?
With it We then bring out produce of various
colors.
And in the mountains are tracts white and red, of
various shades of color, and black intense in hue.
And so amongst men and crawling creatures and
cattle, are they of various colors.
Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who
have knowledge:
For Allah is Exalted in Might,
Oft-Forgiving”. (Faathir: 27 – 28).
The Believers admit that they have heard the call
of one calling to Faith,
To believe in Allah, and they have believed and
they say:
“Ya Allah, forgive us our sins, blot out from us
our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.
Ya Allah, grant us what Thou didst promise unto
us through Your Apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment,
For Thou never breaks Thy promise!” Amien.
Bandung, 28 Jumadil Ula 1428 H.
The Earth will shine.
“And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its
Lord,
The Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open);
The Prophets and the Witnesses will be brought
forward,
And a just decision pronounced between them,
And they will not be wronged (in the least).
And to every soul will be paid in full (the
fruit) of its deed,
And (Allah) knows best all that they do”.
(Az Zumar: 69 – 70).
Afterward the Believers will be led to the Garden
in crowds,
And the Unbelievers will be led to the Hell in
crowds as well,
When the Believers arrive there, its gate will be
opened, and its Keepers will say: “Peace be upon you! Well have ye done! Enter
ye here, to dwell therein”.
When the Unbelievers arrive there, its gate will
be opened, and its Keepers will say: “Did not Apostles come to you from among
yourselves, rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord, and warning you of the
Meeting of this Day of yours? They will answer: “True!
But the Decree of Punishment has been proved true
against the Unbelievers.
To the Unbelievers will be said: “Enter ye the
gates of Hell, to dwell therein
And evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!”
After entering the gates the Believers will say:
“Praise be to Allah, Who has truly fulfilled His promise to us, and has given
us (this) land in heritage, we can dwell in the Garden as we will,
How excellent a reward for those who work
righteousness!”
