The Day when no person shall help another The Day the Witnesses will stand forth The Day the Spirit and the Angels will stand forth

These two des c r i p tions also give us two lofty messages. In the first verse 88 of Surah Shuara it says:

“The when neither wealth nor sons will help” and then adds in the verse 89, “Except him who brings a clean heart to God.”

In the second verse 31 of Surah Ibrahim it says:

“Before the coming of the Day in which there will neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.”

Actually there are three basic assets in this world:

Wealth and pomp, obedient sons and faithful friends but the horrors and hardships of the Day of Gathering are not such that they can be dispelled with the help of wealth, sons or friends. Even if we suppose that a person gets the help of all the wealth, sons and friends then even they will not be able to solve any one of the hardships because the standards will be different on that day. The helper on the Day of Judgment are certitude, righteous deeds and a clean heart; a heart which is clean from any kind of polytheism and other gods.

In this world relief from hardships can be achieved by giving wealth, bargaining, recompensing, bribing, and other legal and unlawful ways. Some hardships can be solved through people like loving sons and sincere friends. Though they may solve the problems of this world they will be useless in the hereafter.

The wealth and sons referred to here are not that wealth or sons through which one can gain the pleasure of God ; it does not mean the friends who can intercede with God’s permission for it says even if these things are transferred there they will be of no help.

This is why verse 67 of Surah Zukhruf says:

“Friends that Day shall be enemies of one another except the pious.”
