Last episode of this article discusses the regret of participating in any gathering where Allah was not remembered, so that together, we can maximize every opportunity (Time) given to us by Allah (swt) to gather plenty rewards from engaging in Dhikr and not to regret wasting our time on unrewarding events or activities.

Now,

The next matter that will bring about ‘Hasra’ (regret) on that long Day (judgement day) is:

*Matter Number 3:*

The regret of those who will be forced to hand over their good deeds to others and to carry sins that they did not commit.

My people!

On this matter (The regret of those who will be forced to hand over their good deeds to others and to carry sins that they did not commit), there is nothing i will say here that i have not discussed before now.. But bcos we are human and undeniably forgetful, there is need to be constantly reminded.

Yes!

The Arabic word that corresponds to “human being” is Insan. This word takes its root from the word Nisyan, which literally means “forgetfulness”. Man is undeniably a very forgetful creature!

Furthermore,

Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “There is no believing servant but that he has a sin he habitually commits from time to time, or a sin abiding over him that he does not abandon until he departs the world. *Verily, the believer was created to be tested, repenting and forgetful. If he is reminded, he will remember.”*📚Source: al-Mu’jam al-Kabi‌r 11810

That is why,

Man is in dire need to be constantly reminded of his or her true reality & true life.. It is for this very reason that Islam stresses on the importance of constant reminders.

My people!

Imagine being stripped of your long day’s fasts, or your night prayer, or 20years of obligatory prayers or so as they are handed over to someone else. Worse still, imagine having transferred onto your scales acts of fornication, alcohol or interest, as you are forced to shoulder somebody's sins just bcos u backbite or cheat him or her and ur rewards to be used to settle him or her are exhausted

The Prophet (PBUH) said:

مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَظْلمَةٌ لأَخِيهِ، مِنْ عِرضِهِ أَوْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ، فَلْيَتَحَلَّلْهُ مِنْهُ اليَوْمَ قبْلَ أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ؛ إنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ أُخِذَ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَظْلمَتِهِ، وَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ أُخِذَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ صَاحِبِهِ فَحُمِلَ عَلَيه

“Whoever has wronged anyone in any way, whether in relation to their honour or anything else, then let them seek forgiveness today before a day comes when there will be no Dinar and Dirham. On that Day, if he or she has good deeds, they will be subtracted from him or her and given to that person depending on the size of his or her wrongdoing, but if his or her good deeds are not sufficient, he or she will be made to carry their sins instead.” 📚[Bukhari on the authority of Abu Huraira]

This is, in fact, one of the most disturbing realities about the Day of Judgement where you find yourself unable to hand over a single good deed to your mother, father, child, spouse or friend, despite your intense love for them, for you will be just as desperate for every good deed as they are whilst, on the other hand, you will be forced to hand over your good deeds to people whom you had despised, people you had back stabbed, mocked, backbitten, slander, abused or oppressed in any way.
