Questioning about deeds.







It is said in the Qur'an: "And most certainly we will also question the Apostles". (surah-al -A'araf : 6), that "we had sent you to guide"¡ They will reply, "O our Lord we have not left even an atom's weight of Your message to be passed on to them". They will be asked, "who are your witness"¡ They will reply, " O Allah You are our witness and besides Thee is Mohammad (S.A.W.S.), as said in the Qur'an, "And thus we made you a medium (just) nation


that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you". (surah-al-Baqarah : 143)
It the same way it will be asked to prophet Isa (A.S.), "O Isa son of Mariam Did You say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah"¡ (surah-al-Maidah : 116). Prophet Isa will tremble (with fright) due to Allah's Glory and reply, "O Allah, if I had ever told them I would surely have known it. But I had always said that, "surely Iam a servant of Allah, He has given me the book and made me a prophet". (surah-al -marium: 30). He once worship Him who created me and you.
Then their people will be questioned, "Did your prophet not remind you of this day of Judgment"¡ They all will reply, "surely they did so". Then they shall be questioned about the blessings sent to them by Allah and as to how they spent it "Then on that day you shall most surely be questioned about the blessings". (surah-al -Takasur: 8). Did you thank Allah for His bestowing His blessings on you, or you rebelled¡ It is stated that the blessings of Allah referred to here means the love of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) and His progeny (A.S.).
Imam (A.S.) asked Qatada, "what do you (sunnis) interpret the following verse (Ayah), 'Then on that day you shall most surely be questioned about the blessings.

Surah-al -Takasur : 8) He replied, "It means that on the day of Qayamat we will be questioned about the food and drink that we consumed in this world". Imam (A.S.) replied, Verily Allah is far beyond this, so as to question anyone about this. If you invite someone for food to your house do you then question him as to how much he ate"¡ Qatada replied, "No, but then what does this blessing means"¡ Imam (A.S.) replied, "The blessing referred to here is the love of us Ahlulbait (A.S.)"`. It will be asked as to how did you treat the Ahlulbait (A.S.), did you love them and follow them, or you disobeyed Allah by bearing grudge towards them. "They recognize the favours of Allah, yet they deny it". (Surah-an-Nahl: 83)
Regarding sustenance it will only be asked as to how he earned it whether lawfully or unlawfully. Why did he squander it or spend it on unlawful means, "I kept asking from you but you kept deaf ear. The wealth was My wealth, and the poor were My children, and their questioning (from you) was My questioning".
Shaikh Sadooq relates that on the day of Qayamat man will not be able to move an inch till he is questioned about four things it on: (1) the way he spent his life, (2) As to how did he wear out his youth, (3) About the wealth, as to where he got it from and in what way he spent it, and (4) And about the love of us the Household (Ahlulbait) of prophet.
