The Constitution of the physical
realm
 :
It is a definite verbal Noun prefixed with definite article. Since
it is we who are making a statement, prefixed definite article is of
type:
الْعَهْدُ الذِّهْنِيُّ
that shows our knowledge about the unitary day and
its characteristic feature and importance. This verbal noun occurs
92 times in the Divine Discourse, individually or in prepositional
and Possessive Phrases. Since it is Verbal Noun signifying action and
state-condition it has no dual and plural, or gender; its verbs are: دَانَ يَدِينُ . Its Root is:
د ى ن. In encyclopedic articles and Arabic-English dictionaries
we will apparently find "diversity of meanings", like "Ruler",
"obedience", or "servant-ness"; "judgment", or "retribution-requital".
Though these words seem portraying different semantic fields, but when
we reflect on these words with reference to our society and the state,
they are all inalienably inter-related. If we encompass all these, we
can combine their significance by the phrase "the code - system of life
and the universe". It is understood that the right and authority
for devising - promulgating a system rests with the Creator of life and
matter. Even the polytheists accept and say the universe is created by
Allah the Exalted Who is Mighty and absolutely Dominant. This perception is evident from the following
proclamation:
-
Know the certain fact;
Ad-Deen: Universal Constitution: System of Law: Operational-Conduct
Code determined by Allah the Exalted, the
Supreme Sovereign and Lawmaker for all that exists, is Islam:
submission to the discipline establishing orderly state of peace, security, tranquility,
harmony
and dynamic balance for all. [refer 3:19]
 :
This is specified as:
 .
It is also a verbal noun of Form-IV, its verbs are intransitive and is
derived from Root:
"س ل م".
Classical Arabic lexicons state that the dominant and pervasive
perception and meanings infolded in the Root are that of healthy
state of exactitude, validity, truth, and absolved causing wellness and
tranquility. And therein is no deviation, irregularity, oddity, and
abnormality disturbing wellness and tranquility. It portrays a state of
peace, safety, tranquility and dynamic balance when the Man is secure
from all sorts of things causing damage and disablement of that state.
Obviously, it is the unique state and only source-a ladder that could
enable the Man to elevate to stability, prosperity, development and all
sorts of ascensions.
A verbal noun portrays without time reference an action
and state, a mechanism, a process, a course, or a system. The
intransitive verbal noun:
also
signifies one's surrendering to another's prescribed procedure, course,
system and render itself subject to it whether by willful affection or
under compulsion of events, situations, or coerciveness of relationships
to the environment. These two manners of surrender are also evident by
the non-transitive nature of the verbal noun:
 
-
[Why they turned away?]
Are they
searching for a system which is other than of Deen: the Code of Conduct-Universal
Constitution
Prescribed by Allah the Exalted?
-
Despite the fact that whoever exists in the
Skies and the Earth reverently acknowledged and submitted humbly in
surrender; and did so for Allah the Exalted coerced by life
threatening circumstances.
-
And
they all
will be presented before Him the Exalted
for accountability
[3:83]
-
And in case someone
desirously seeks other than Islam:
submission to the discipline establishing state of peace, security,
tranquility, harmony and dynamic balance for all, as a
Code of conduct of life, it will never be
accepted from him.
-
Take note that he
will be in the Hereafter one of those who
causes loss to their selves.
[3:85]
Please recall Pharaoh throughout his reign followed his
self-devised system but had declared to have become a Muslim when he was
about to drown. His request was not entertained.
The scholars and
researchers agree that this word:
was used in Pre-Qur'aan literature in
the meanings of custom, obedience and requital. In tribal society-nomadic people the
"custom" is the prevalent law. And the law has built in obedience and
requital. The Custom of tribal society has the force of law since its
neglect or infraction is regularly met by
the application of physical force by an individual or group possessing
the socially recognized privilege of so acting. It is "traditional practice" which has
acquired the status of "authority-law maker". Even otherwise, Power-authority and
responsibility-obligation are inseparably associated, and an equal
accountability of subject is attached.
I could find in English vocabulary only "Constitution"
that nearly incorporates the concept of Arabic word:
.
It covers authority, fundamental law, obedience,
judgment, requital and is also used in relation to physical and
psychological makeup and ability to remain healthy and withstand
hardship.
 :
We have submitted before our Sustainer Lord and publicly pronounced
that we admit that there will be the day when every one will be
subjected to accountability and final judgment and divisions will be
executed. Our Sustainer Lord:
 -
 the
Exalted will exclusively be the Adjudicating Authority to finalize
the judicial process that day. Mentioning an infallible fact is
manifesting intellect and wisdom and spreading fragrance in
environment. Subject to accountability and criminal cognizable is
only he who has the real will and freedom of actions:
-
And remember the day when He the
Exalted will order, "You
[the
end] manifest yourself." Thereby,
in compliance it will happen.
-
The word of Him the Exalted is the
manifest reality.
-
The sovereignty and dominion is
exclusive for Him the Exalted on the Day when
[second]
blow will be blown in the trumpet.
[R6:73]
 
 
-
That is the Day when they will
instantly obey the Summoner; not at all defiance - crookedness will be
possible for them against him.
-
And that day the voices
would have humbled for
[Grandeur and fear of]
Ar'Reh'maan;
-
Therefore, you will not listen
voices except faintly. [20:108]
-
The Day
the intercession [recommendation/pleading] shall not
benefit—
-
Barring the intercession
of him whom Ar'Reh'maan
has granted the permission and He the Exalted had approved it for him
verbally. [20:109]
 :
It refers to a specific and unique Day (also a time
adverb) when the accountability of species endowed with will and
freedom and choice of action/behaviour/conduct will be held and
reward and punishment will be awarded.
 
 
-
He said, "Then you get out of it whereby indeed you are permanently
discarded one;
[15:34; replica 38:77]
-
And indeed
curse and condemnation will hover upon you to the Day of Judgment." [15:35]
 
 
 
 
-
Allah the Exalted said, "your request is indeed acceded,
you are reprieved; [15:37; replica 38:80]
-
Unto the Day of
the appointed- determined Time and Date." [15:38; replica
38:81]
=
 =
  —The
Day of Judgment and Requital = the day they will be revived to life
- resurrected = the day of the appointed- determined Time and Date.
 
 
-
Thereat that would only be one
Big/Mighty Bang;
-
Whereupon they
would be revived to life, they watching and waiting; [37:19]
-
And they said, "O! Woe is for us,
this is the Day of Judgment." [37:20]
 
-
[it will be affirmed, yes]
"This is the Day of Separation/Compartmentalization;
-
The Day which you people kept
contradicting publicly." [37:21]
=
  :
The Day of Judgment and Requital = the day of separating the people
into three groups, to be escorted to Paradise and dragged to
Hell-Prison.
Immediately on resurrection, people
by their own perception have named the day as day of judgment. A man
can make a statement only when he is already aware of it and it is
saved in his memory. It means they were aware of the day in their
worldly life but kept contradicting it. Such people have this
jesting irrational attitude in their worldly life:
 
-
You the Messenger
[Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce:
"The certain fact is that its
knowledge is a guarded secret only with my
Sustainer Lord.
-
None can disclose-lighten it with reference to
its time frame except He the Exalted.
-
[However I can tell you this much]
This moment will be heavy in the Skies and the
Earth.
-
This moment will come to you people all of a
sudden with no
advance sign."
 
-
They people ask
You the Messenger
[Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] as if you are
leaving everything aside, desperately researching about its determined
time.
-
You the Messenger
[Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] tell them:
"The certain fact is that its
knowledge is a guarded secret only with
Allah the Exalted.
-
Despite unambiguous pronouncements
the fact is that most of
the people intend not to understand it." [7:187]
 
-
People ask
You the Messenger
[Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
about the
Final Moment
as to what is its exact Period and Date.
-
You the Messenger
[Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce:
"The certain fact is that its
knowledge is a guarded secret only with my
Sustainer Lord."
-
And what is
that which could
lead you
the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
to the
perception
that perhaps the Determined Moment is in near future?
[He was questioned twice and asked twice to pronounce it
21:109;72:25] [33:63]
 
-
Allah the Exalted is the One Who has
since communicated the Book as the Infallible Discourse;
-
And as Criterion/Weighing Scale
for ad
judgment/evaluation/appreciation/weighing/Equity
[In time and space the Book of Allah is the sole Criterion-the Weighing
Scale for upholding principle of Equity and Justice in evaluation of
people-57:25]
-
And what is
that which could lead you
the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
to the
perception
that perhaps/may be the Determined Moment is in near future?
[He was questioned twice and asked twice to pronounce it
21:109;72:25] [42:17]
Allah the
Exalted twice asked about the sign - indicator that could give an
idea about the moment of end of the universe and resurrection. The
exalted Messenger was also twice advised to make it clear to the
audience of the Divine Discourse that he has no idea about its date
and period/era of actualization:
-
In response if they
about-faced thereupon you
the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "I have announced to you people equally
and unambiguously;
-
And I do not have the
perception whether that which is promised to you people is in the near
era or farther era. [21:109]
 
-
You the Messenger
[Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
pronounce, "I do not have any information to predict whether
that is in the just near future which is promised to you people,
-
Or that my Sustainer Lord is rendering for
it a distant interval of time. [72:25]
The
Spokesperson of Allah the Exalted has pointedly clarified that there
are no pointers - indicators - signs that could provide a clue to
assess or predict the date and era of the day of resurrection. It is
again emphasized:
 
-
And what is the indicator that could
have led you to the perception when is the Day of Judgment? [82:17]
-
Afterwards, even
later in time what is that
which could give you the perception when is the Day of Judgment? [82:18]
-
Just be mindful of this Day when no
person will have possession-authority of any sort for another person.
-
Mind it that the Command and
Judgment-Dispensation of Justice is the exclusive domain for Allah the
Exalted the Day when people are resurrected. [82:19]
We have noticed in the scenes of the
Day of Resurrection that people were aware of the Day of Judgment.
Let us further listen to them confessional statement about it:
 
 
Today people are warned:
 
 
 
When Our Aa'yaat:
verbal presentation of information, facts and knowledge
in the Book were recited to him, he said, "Tales of the ancients."
[83:13]
 
The true believers on the other
hand do not indulge in pursuits of finding and
ascertaining signs - indicators about the
occurrence of the even:
-
Only those people seek [mock] to
hasten the Determined Moment who do not accept/believe in it.
-
And those who have believed feel terror of it
since they know it is indeed a fact [proven/unavoidable]
-
The fact is that those who
indulge in controversy [are in
search/create confusion and illusions regarding point of occurrence]
about the Appointed Moment, indeed they are in prolonged heedlessness. [42:18]
