[17].Surah Al-Isra' [The Journey By Night]: Ayat 13-14


 also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of Israel]
Ayat 13. And We have fastened every man's deeds to his neck, and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open. 
Ayat 14. (It will be said to him): "Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this Day."  


Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night. A man would be a believer in the morning and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would be a believer in the evening and turn disbeliever in the morning, and would sell his Faith for worldly goods.''
[Muslim Book 01, Chapter 51, Hadith # 213]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 013. "We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open". This Hadith tells that the Day of Resurrection will be preceded by a long chain of calamities. Because of the rush of these calamities, religion and Faith will loose their value in people. There will be a race for wealth, so much so that people would not hesitate to compromise their religion and Faith to acquire wealth. People will rapidly change their faces. This is what actually happening. In this situation true believers are exhorted to adhere strictly to Faith and perform noble deeds without delay.
