Reflections of Gaza and Syria today: the Day of Judgment

It makes one look forward to the Day of Judgment.. The Absolute Justice of Allah will be so great on the Day of Judgment that He will even allow a sheep to get its revenge.

The Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "On the Day of Judgment, the rights will be paid to those to whom they are due so much so, that a hornless sheep will be retaliated for by punishing the horned sheep which broke its horns"
(Sahih Muslim, Book #032, Hadith #6252)

A sheep! SubhanAllah - What more those innocent women, children, old men and women, our brothers and sisters who have their honour, blood and wealth ruthlessly usurped and oppressed?

What about the soul of a believer? Of whom his/her blood is more sacred than the city of Makkah itself? More sacred than the day of Eid al-Adha and the month of Hajj?

"Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book #3 Hadith #67)

Images of Gaza & Syria today make us look forward to how Allah will defend the honour of His believers, and how He will exact His Retribution against the tyrants and oppressors.

But taking a step back, la hawla wala quwata illa billah - how quickly do we wish to hasten the judgment upon others!
They will be judged, but so shall we. How ready are WE to read our own book of deeds? When all our deeds, even done in secret, big or small - will be scribed in detail?

So don't wish to hasten it: it's going to come. They'll get what they deserve, and so shall you.
Prepare for it, invest in it - cash it out when the time comes.

“Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages (i.e. deeds) in full.
And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he is indeed successful.
The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception”
(Surah Al-Imran 3:185)
