The Reckoner

O Merciful Lord, The Reckoner,

on the Day of Resurrection,

"the coming of which is beyond all doubt,"

You will "surely Gather us altogether," and,

You alone will Judge

mankind for his deeds.

And, You are the Most Just, and,

"The Best of all Judges!"


And, on that Day,

each will carry the burden of his or her own sins

for what they have done in life.

"They shall bear on their backs the burden of their sins -

oh, how evil the load

with which they shall be burdened!"


"They whose record shall be placed in the right hand,

it is they who will read their record with happiness,"

 for they will enter Paradise!


"These it is who it is who will be honored in

Gardens of Paradise," where "rivers flow" beneath,

with water from the finest Paradise springs to drink from!

"Wherein on couches they will recline,"

for a "goodly rest,"

and, the finest nectar to drink from
 
and fruit trees of every variety to eat from!

 What a beautiful recompense!


"But, as for him whose record is placed in his left hand,

he will exclaim,
 
"I wish that I had never been shown this, my record!"
 
And, for all the corruption and evil one has done in life,

he will enter Hellfire to burn eternally!


And, Allah, The Reckoner, did not wrong them,

"it was they that wronged themselves."

With nothing to drink, nor to eat,

 none will avail them once in Hellfire.


But, if one repents in this life to Him,

and Believes in and Worships Him Alone,

and does Righteous good deeds, and gives in charity to others,

one will receive Gardens of Paradise

"to dwell in forever."


 O Allah, the Reckoner,

You Art the Most Merciful of the Merciful!

And, You "alone are the Acceptor of Repentance

and the Dispenser of Grace."


You Alone the Most Forgiving and Loving God,

and "there is none like unto You!"

Your Bounty, Mercy and Forgiveness is unbounded

to those who Believe in You and Worship You alone!


You Art the "King of Mankind!"

"The Master of the Kingdom!"

And,"The "Master of the Day of Recompense!"


We Believe in You, O Merciful Lord,

and Worship You alone!


Amen
