SURAH AN-NABA': 78 (The Great Event)
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL

We have warned you of an approaching torment (that will be inflicted) on a day when one will see what his hands have sent ahead, and the disbeliever will say, "0 would that I had become dust!" [40]

COMMENTARY: On a day when one will see what his hands have sent ahead 78:40). Apparently, this refers to the Day of Judgement. Every person will see his deeds with his own eyes in the Plane of Gathering. This might happen in one of two ways:

[1] His ledger of deeds will be given in his hands and he will see it; or
[2] His deeds will appear in the Plane of Gathering, epitomized in a visible shape, as certain narratives confirm this.

Still a third possibility exists. The word 'day' may refer to 'the day of death'. And the words 'will see' means to see in the grave or Barzakh, as explained by Math’hari.

(And the disbeliever will say, "0 would that I had become dust...78:40).

Sayyadina 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar RA reports that on the Day of Resurrection the entire earth will become a plane surface where all human beings, Jinn, domesticated animals and wild animals will be gathered. If one animal had wronged another animal in the world, it will be given the opportunity to take its revenge. If a goat with horns had wronged a goat without horns, it will be granted the opportunity to take its avenge. When this phase is over, all animals will be commanded to become dust. They will become dust. At that moment the disbelievers will wish that they were also animals and would become dust like them, so that they would have been spared the torment of reckoning and punishment of Hell. We seek refuge in Allah from it! Allah knows best!

THE MESSAGE

THE ANGELS
--------------
1. Allah has created Angels out of light and gave them various duties to perform.
2. They are not visible to us.
3. They do not commit any sins nor do they disobey Allah.
4. They do what Allah has ordered.
5. We do not know their exact number.
6. We know of four famous Angels. They are: -
JIBRAEEL Alayhis Salaam.
MICHAEEL Alayhis Salaam.
IZRAAELL Alayhis Salaam.
ISRAFEEL Alayhis Salaam.

JIBRAEEL (Alayhis-Salaam) brought Allah's Books, Orders and messages to all the Prophets. He was also sent to help the Prophets at times and fight against their enemies.
Hazrat MICHAAEEL (A.S.) is in charge of food and rain. Other Angels work under him who are in charge of clouds, the seas, the rivers and the winds. He gets the order from Allah. He then orders the others under his command.

IZRAAEEL (A.S.) takes away life with the order of Allah. He is in charge of death. Numerous Angels work under him. Some take away the lives of good persons whilst others looking very fearful take away the lives of sinners and disbelievers.

ISRAAFEEL (A.S.) will blow the SOOR (TRUMPET) on the day of judgement. The sound will destroy and kill everything that is on earth and in the skies. When he blows for the second time all will come to life with the order of Allah.

There are two Angels that are always with every person. One writes all his GOOD DEEDS whilst the other enters all his BAD DEEDS. They are known as: - KIRAAMAN-KAATIBEEN.

The MUNKAR and NAKEER question a person when he dies.

Some Angels are in charge of heaven, some of hell, some of looking after children, the old, the weak and others whom Allah wishes to protect.

From the QURAN and HADITH we come to know that various other angels are in charge of various other duties.

RECIPE

FISH BIRYANI (Serves 6 – 8)
---------------------------
Once you’ve tasted this delicious fish breyani, you’ll travel to the ends of the earth (or at least to Durban!) to find all the spices the recipe demands. It’s a bit time-consuming, but well worth the effort in the end and will feed a lot of people.

50 ml oil - 1 large onion, sliced into rings - 4 cardamom seeds - 4 whole cloves - 2 pieces stick cinnamon - 5 ml chopped fresh ginger - 4 cloves garlic, crushed - 5 ml barishap - 5 ml cumin seeds (jeera) - 5 ml ground coriander - 5 ml leaf masala - 5 ml breyani masala - 1 kg fresh fish, cubed - salt - 5 ml fish masala - 6 small potatoes, peeled - 200g (500 ml) uncooked rice - 5 ml turmeric - 125 ml lentils (masoor) - 4 hard-boiled eggs.

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion, cardamom seeds, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and garlic until the onion is tender and all the flavours have blended together. Add the barishap, cumin seeds, coriander, leaf masala, breyani masala and a little water. Simmer until an aromatic paste is formed.

Season the fish with salt and fish masala and add together with potatoes to the paste. Fry until the mixture acquires a nice yellow colour. Cover and braise until cooked. The potatoes should be soft but still intact. Add extra water if necessary.

Add the rice to boiling salted water along with the turmeric and boil until tender. Drain and set aside. Cook the lentils in boiling water until soft and drain. Combine the rice and lentils and arrange layers of the breyani mixture and rice in a saucepan. Add a little water, cover with a piece of waxed paper and lid, and steam for about half an hour. Slice the eggs into quarters and place on top of the breyani just before serving.

A THOUGHT

LIFE IN THE GRAVE
-------------------

Many people doubt the fact that people in the grave are going through severe punishments or enjoying a peaceful stay. This is due to the reason that when a grave is dug, we do not see any fire burning people or gigantic snakes biting dead bodies. All we see are bones mixed with soil. Well, then where is the punishment or peace? Whether we can see it or not, the promise of Allah is true. Allah gave us many things to understand things better. He tells us that there are signs in His creations for those who think.

To understand this particular issue (grave) better, we can examine our dreams. Say, a person is sleeping right beside you. He is seeing a dream where some people are trying to kill him. They catch him and start beating him. Finally, they take out a gun and shoot him. You are sitting beside this sleeping individual, but you do not see any of these things. However, he is experiencing all these things, it's just you cannot see. The same way, that individual in the grave is going through all the things that are promised by Allah.
