Judgement Day: Deeds that Light the Way

In this life, even an atom’s worth of good is accepted, if it is done with sincerity. In the hereafter, the whole world in gold will do one no good.

On the Day of Judgement, from the moment you rise from your grave to when you take your place in the great assembly, from when you are brought forth to be held accountable for your deeds, to preparing to cross the Bridge (Ṣirāṭ), there are good deeds that you have sent forth that will come to your aid. Deeds that will take you by your hand and testify on your behalf, that will settle your feet and shade you from the scorching heat, that will light your way in the darkness and guide you to the abode of eternal delight.

So do not ask your Lord when the Day of Judgement will be, but ask yourself what deeds have you prepared for that day.
