"And if you ask about the Day of Increase (in reward) and the visit of the all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His Face - free from any resemblance or likeness to anything - Just as you see the sun at its Zenith in the middle of the day and the full Moon on a cloudless night. A narration traced back to the truthful Prophet, as is present in the sahih books of hadith. From the narration of Jarir and Soahib and Anas and Abu Hurayrah and Abu Musa and Abu Saeed.

So listen on the day that the caller will call: 'O People of Paradise! Your Lord - Blessed and Exalted - requests you to visit Him, so come to visit Him!' So they will say: 'We hear and obey!'

Until, when they finally reach the wide valley where they will all meet - and none of them will turn down the request of the caller - the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will order His Chair to be brought there. Then, pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls, gemstone, gold, and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of musk, and will not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given. When they are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their places, and the caller calls: 'O People of Paradise! You have an appointment with Allaah in which He wishes to reward you!' So they will say: 'And what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright, made our scales heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from the Fire?'

And when they are like that, all of a sudden a light shines that encompasses all of Paradise. So, they raise their heads, and, behold: the Compeller - Exalted is He, and Holy are His Names - has come to them from above them and majestified them and said: 'O People of Paradise! Peace be upon you!' So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything better than: 'O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O possessor of Majesty and Honor!' So the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will laugh to them and say: 'O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!'

So, they will all give the same response: 'We are pleased, so be pleased with us!' So, He will say: 'O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased with you, I would not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!' So, they will all give the same response: 'Show us your Face so that we may look at it!' So, the Lord - Mighty and Majestic - will remove his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah - the Exalted - had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them.

And there will not remain a single person in this gathering except that his Lord - the Exalted - will speak to him and say: 'Do you remember the day that you did this and that?' and He will remind him of some of his bad deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: 'O Lord! Will you not forgive me?' So, He will say: 'Of course! You have not reached this position of yours (in Paradise) except by my forgiveness.'"

From the Arabic book: Haadi al-Arwaah ilaa Bilaad il-Afraah by Ibn al-Qayyim, p.355-360.

The Arabic Text:

يقول إبن القيم رحمه الله
وإن سألت: عن يوم المزيد، وزيارة العزيز الحميد، ورؤية وجه الله المنزه عن التمثيل والتشبيه، كما ترى الشمس في الظهيرة والقمر ليلة البدر، كما تواتر النقل فيه عن الصادق المصدوق صلي الله عليه وسلم ، وذلك موجود في الصحاح، والسنن المسانيد،
ومن رواية جرير، وصهيب، وأنس، وأبي هريرة، وأبي موسى، وأبي سعيد، فاستمع يوم ينادي المنادي:

يا أهل الجنة

إن ربكم تبارك وتعالى يستزيركم فحيى على زيارته، فيقولون سمعا وطاعة، وينهضون إلى الزيارة مبادرين، فإذا بالنجائب قد أعدت لهم، فيستوون على ظهورها مسرعين، حتى إذا انتهوا إلى الوادي الأفيح الذي جعل لهم موعدا، وجمعوا هناك، فلم يغادر الداعي منهم أحدا، أمر الرب سبحانه وتعالى بكرسية فنصب هناك، ثم نصبت لهم منابر من نور، ومنابر من لؤلؤ، ومنابر من زبرجد، ومنابر من ذهب، ومنابر من فضة، وجلس أدناهم - وحاشاهم أن يكون بينهم دنئ - على كثبان المسك، ما يرون أصحاب الكراسي فوقهم العطايا، حتى إذا استقرت بهم مجالسهم، واطمأنت بهم أماكنهم، نادى المنادي:

يا أهل الجنة

سلام عليكم.

فلا ترد هذه التحية بأحسن من قولهم: اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت ياذا الجلال والإكرام. فيتجلى لهم الرب تبارك وتعالى يضحك إليهم ويقول:


يا أهل الجنة

فيكون أول ما يسمعون من تعالى: أين عبادي الذين أطاعوني بالغيب ولم يروني، فهذا يوم المزيد. فيجتمعون على كلمة واحدة:

أن قد رضينا، فارض عنا، فيقول:


يا أهل الجنة

إني لو لم أرض عنكم لم أسكنكم جنتي، هذا يوم المزيد، فسلوني فيجتمعون على كلمة واحدة:

أرنا وجهك ننظر إليه.

فيكشف الرب جل جلاله الحجب، ويتجلا لهم فيغشاهم من نوره ما لو لا أن الله سبحانه وتعالى قضى ألا يحترقوا لاحترقوا. ولا يبقى في ذلك المجلس أحد إلا حاضره ربه تعالى محاضرة، حتى إنه يقول:

يا فلان، أتذكر يوم فعلت كذا وكذا، يذكره ببعض غدراته في الدنيا، فيقول: يا رب ألم تغفر لي؟

فيقول: بلى بمغفرتي بلغت منزلتك هذه.

انتهى كلام ابن القيم رحمه الله تعالى [حادي الأرواح إلى بلاد الأفراح ص355-360)].

Today, people try to add things to the religion that they find suitable for it. There is no doubt that this is one of the gateways to innovation.

99 Names of Allāh on Your Hands? - Mūsá Richardson

Abū al-ʿAbbās Mūsá Richardson discusses the Prophet’s (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) good character when dealing with individuals who approached him regretful and ashamed of their sins, not scolding them nor rebuking them for things that they were already repenting for.

Do Not Put People Down When They are Already Regretful of Their Sins! - Mūsá Richardson

Do You Collect Treasure? - Abū Khadījah

Ustādh Mūsá Richardson discuses false piety, a trick from the Shayṭān. Seeking knowledge continuously purifies the student as he learns and learns and learns. Are not the most pious of people the scholars of Islām? The constant admonishments about sincerity, fearing Allāh, crack bad habits and bad intentions. So if the devil cannot get him to turn to major sins and innovations, he whispers to him about his intentions. Ustādh Mūsá also discusses the sad reality that as a society, we respect, value and follow those who have high levels of secular education, much more than Islamic scholars and teachers.
