Surah Al An'aam Notes (98-102)

(98)And it is He who produced you from one soul and [gave you] a place of dwelling and of storage. We have detailed the signs for a people who understand.

(99)And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

(100)But they have attributed to Allah partners - the jinn, while He has created them - and have fabricated for Him sons and daughters without knowledge. Exalted is He and high above what they describe.

(101)[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing.

(102)That is Allah , your Lord; there is no deity except Him, the Creator of all things, so worship Him. And He is Disposer of all things.

 (6:98)  This World is Only a Temporary Abode

[“And it is He who produced you from one soul,”] refers to Adam `alayhi salaam. The word mustaqar [مُسْتَقَرٌ] is from “qarar”. Qarar means to settle down. Therefore mustaqar denotes a place or time of rest, habitation or dwelling. The word mustawda’ [مُسْتَوْدَعٌ] means to keep something with someone temporarily for a few days for protection.

There are many probabilities in the interpretation of these two words. Some commentators say that mustaqar is the mother’s womb where the fetus stays and mustawda’ is the grave where a person stays temporarily for protection. If the body is not buried in the mud the corpse will rot. Others say mustaqar is the earth where a person lives and mustawda’ is the grave. A person stays in this dunya for some time and then moves on to the Akhirah.

(6:99)  Don’t Just Eat Fruit But Also Reflect on its Different Stages

It is Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala Who sends down water in due measure as a blessing and provision for the servants, relief and means of survival for the creatures and mercy from Allah for His creation. Through this water come out nabaat [نَبَاتَ] meaning plantation, vegetation or anything that the earth produces. As result of the rain different types of plantation comes out and the earth becomes lush and green. We may be watering our plants every day but one rain shower refreshes up everything

From the green produce and trees, seeds and fruit grow lined on top of each other in clusters like an ear or spike of grain. 

• We see grapes that are bunched together. 
• There is corn on the cob arranged one next to the other. 
• When we open a pomegranate it’s all piled up one on another. 

As the fruit ripens it comes lower and lower within our reach to be easily picked up for eating. 

The fruits appear similar yet their taste is so different. For example the leaves are similar in shape and appearance, yet different in the shape and taste. And the kind of fruit each plant produces is different. There are green grapes as well as purple grapes, and so many types of berries. They receive the same water but bring forth so much variety for us.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala ends the ayah by advising us to not just eat fruit but reflect on it. Reflect on its different stages. The fruit doesn’t grow in an instant. First the plant sprouts from the seed, then the flowers appears, then small fruits begin to show up and then we wait for their ripening till we can eat them. Contemplate the ability of the Creator of these fruits, Who brought them into existence after they were dry wood, and they later became grapes and dates; and similar is the case with the various colors, shapes, tastes and fragrance of whatever Allah created. In these are signs and proofs that testify to the perfect ability, wisdom and mercy of He Who created these things for people who believe in Allah and obey His Messengers.

(6:100)  Rebuking the Idolaters

Ayah 100 refutes the idolaters who worshipped others besides Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala and associated the Jinns with Him in worship. One might ask how did the idolaters worship the Jinns? Here, we should remember that just like there are good people and bad people similarly there are good Jinns and bad Jinns. Some are obedient to Allah while some are disobedient to Him. The mushrikeen of Makkah worshipped the idols by obeying the Jinns who commanded them to do so. When people went out on night journeys they would call out to the Jinns for protection. Calling out to someone for help other than Allah is Shirk.

In Surah Saba Ayah 41, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala mentions that on the Day of Resurrection, the angels will proclaim, “Rather, they used to worship the jinn; most of them were believers in them.” Earlier in Surah an-Nisa Ayah 117we learnt, “They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Shaytan.” This is why Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala said here [in Ayah 100], وَخَلَقَهُمْ “…while He has created them…” Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is the One Who created the Jinns, then how is it possible that they be worshipped? How can the creation be equal to the Creator? Jinns are a creation of Allah, should one worship the creation or the Creator? How can another deity be worshipped along with Him while He created everything?

The word, Kharaqu [خَرَقُواْ], means “falsely attributed, invented, claimed and lied”. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala then mentions the misguidance of those who were led astray and claimed a son or offspring for Him, as the Jews did with `Uzayr, the Christians with `Eesa and the Arab pagans with the angels whom they claimed were Allah’s daughters. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is far holier than what the unjust, polytheist people associated with Him.

(6:101) Meaning of Badi’

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says that He is the Badi’ [بَدِيعُ] of the heavens and the earth, meaning He originated, created, invented and brought them into existence without precedence. The word Bid`ah used for innovation also comes from the same word because it is something that did not have a precedence. Until Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala created the heavens and the earth there was nothing like them from before. He is their innovator.

If Allah alone is the Badi’, “How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things?” A child is the offspring of two compatible spouses. When Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala does not have a spouse from where can the offspring come? Everything besides Allah is the creation, and if Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is the Creator of everything then how can his child or spouse be a creation? How can He have a wife from His creation who is suitable for His majesty, when there is none like Him? How can He have a child? How can His creation equal Him in status? Allah does not have an equal, none of His creatures are similar to Him, for He alone created the entire creation.

In Surah Mariyam Ayaat 88 and 89, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says, “And they say, ‘The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son.’ You have done an atrocious thing.”

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala has created everything. He is Glorified above having a son. Allah is All-Knower of all things. Those who are worshipped besides Allah are not aware of everything.

(6:102)  Allah is Your Lord

Allah is the Creator of everything while the Jinns are not the khaliq. They are makhlooq –  a creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala. Therefore worship only Him, attest to His Oneness and affirm that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him because He created everything. He is the Trustee, Watcher and Disposer of affairs for all things in existence, giving them provisions and protection by day and night.

Lessons to be learnt:

– We learn that the beginning of humanity was from one man. Believing in this is part of our emaan. It is humiliating to attribute man’s evolution from an animal.

– For each person there is a mustaqar and mustawda’; a beginning and an end. We focus so much on the beginning and ignore the end. Parents plan baby showers and create baby books for their children. When they grow up they show them, “This is when you were born. These were your first words,” and so on. But we don’t say a word about the Hereafter. The final and eternal home. We keep preparing them for this life but not the next while this life is only temporary.

– In the Qur’an and in the universe, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala has placed many signs for people to recognize their Creator. The one who wants to take benefit will benefit and the one who turns a blind eye will only harm himself.

Surah Al An'aam Notes (93-97)

(93)And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allah revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."

(94)It will be said to them], "And you have certainly come to Us alone as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you. And We do not see with you your 'intercessors' which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allah ]. It has [all] been severed between you, and lost from you is what you used to claim."

(95)Indeed, Allah is the cleaver of grain and date seeds. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah ; so how are you deluded?

(96)He is] the cleaver of daybreak and has made the night for rest and the sun and moon for calculation. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

(97)And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea. We have detailed the signs for a people who know.

(6:93) None is Worse Than One who Invents a Lie Against Allah and Claims that Revelation Came to Him

How does one fabricate lies against Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala?

• By saying Allah has a partner or that He has a son while he has no evidence to support his claim. 
• It also includes fabricating statements and saying that Allah has said this while they are not from Allah.
• Calling something haram while it’s halal. 
• Changing the laws of Allah. 
• Inventing lies also includes claiming Prophethood. There were people during the times of the Prophet sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam such as Musyalimah al-Kadhdhab [the liar] and even today that claim false Prophethood. A person who does this is most unjust.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says to the Prophet that if only he could see the suffering that the wrongdoers go through due to the hardships, agonies and afflictions of death when the angels are stretching forth their hands, beating them until their souls leave their bodies.

 “And if you could but see when the angels take the souls of those who disbelieved… They are striking their faces and their backs and [saying], ‘Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.’” Surah Anfal : 50. This indicates that the angels don’t take back the soul of wrongdoer with ease.

[ ...Ghamaratil maut...] When the disbeliever is near death, the angels will convey the “good news” to him of torment, vengeance, chains, restraints, Hell, boiling water and the anger of the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful. The soul will then scatter in the body of the disbeliever and refuse to get out of it. The angels will keep beating the disbeliever until his soul exits from his body.

(6:94) The word furada [فُرَادَى] is from the root letters fa-ra-dal and it means “single, to be alone, unaccompanied or isolated”. 

This is how people will return to Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala on the Day of Judgment. They came into this world alone and will return alone. Death is something which separates people. Even people who die at the same time they are separated. People who are buried in the same grave are separated. People will return to Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala without having rank, family or friends. The wealth and money that they collected in the worldly life will all be left behind.

Hadith:

1. It is recorded in the Saheeh that Allah’s Messenger sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam said,“The son of Adam says, ‘My money, my money!’ But, what part of your money do you have, other than what you eat of it and is thus spent, what you wear and tear and what you gave in charity and thus remains (in the record of good deeds). Other than that, you will depart and leave it to the people.”
2. Hasan Al-Basri said, “On the Day of Resurrection, the Son of Adam will be brought, as if he were a golden chariot and Allah, the Most Honored, will ask, ‘Where is what you collected?’ He will reply, ‘O Lord! I collected it and left it as intact as ever.’ Allah will say to him, ‘O son of Adam! Where is what you sent forth for yourself (of righteous, good deeds),’ and he will realize that he did not send forth anything for himself.” Hasan then recited this Ayah [Ayah 94]. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded this statement.

[... “And We do not see with you your ‘intercessors’ which you claimed that they were among you associates (of Allah)…”]

This criticizes the disbelievers for the rivals, idols and images that they worshipped in this life, thinking they will avail them in this life and upon Resurrection, if there is Resurrection, as they thought. On the Day of Resurrection, all relationships will be cut off, misguidance will be exposed, and those whom they used to call upon as gods will disappear from them.

In the dunya we have our friends and family who are support groups. They come forward to help us whenever we need them whether in good deeds or bad. But in the Hereafter all connections and ties will be severed. We will be standing alone answerable for our deeds. All false claims and false deities will vanish.

(6:95) Recognizing Allah Through Some of His Ayat 

Faliq [فَالِقُ]. The word faliq is from the root letters fa-laam-qaf and it means “to split, to crack, to divide, to separate two things”. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is the One Who splits, cracks or tears. Who does He cleave? Hab [حَب] and nawa[نَّوَى]. Hab are the edible seeds and grains such as lentils and peas while nawa are the inedible seeds such as orange seeds or mango pit.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala states that He causes the seed grain and the fruit stone to split and sprout in the ground, producing various types, colors, shapes, and tastes of grains and produce. If we were to do this we would have crushed or damaged the seed. The most a farmer can do is to remove impediments from the growth path of the tender bud. But the real job is done by Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala. He brings the living plant from the seed grain and the fruit stone, which is a lifeless and inanimate object. He brings out a living bird from an inanimate egg or a lifeless egg from a living bird. Human input has nothing to do with it.

(6:96) Night for Rest is a Blessing

He is the Creator of light and darkness as He said in the beginning of the Surah, “And originated the darkness and the light,” Indeed, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala causes the darkness of the night to disappear and brings forth the day thus bringing brightness to the world and light to the horizon while dissipating darkness and ending the night with its depth of darkness and starting the day with its brightness and light.

 Again the word Faliq has been used which indicates One Who splits the morning that is One Who tears the dark layer of darkness apart and brings the morning out. In this Ayah, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala reminds us of His ability to create diversified things in opposites, testifying to His perfect greatness and supreme power. He states that He is the Cleaver of the daybreak and mentioned its opposite, when He said, “…and night for rest…” meaning created darkness in order for the creation to become halt and rest during it. Both day and night are a blessing for the mankind. 

It is in the day that a person conducts business transactions and domestic chores. And at night he returns home to rest after hard day’s work. If the day and night were not created people would have been working twenty four hours without rest. Absence of sleep would have disturbed lives. 

The creation of day and night portrays the wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala that He has set upon not only human beings but on all living creatures the weight of sleep in a manner that one is compelled to stop working and go to sleep. As the time of dusk approaches birds and beasts head for their nests and homes. Mankind stops its working and looks for a place to rest. Silence reigns. Darkness aids in sleep whereas light is not conducive to sleep.

[“…the sun and moon for calculation…”] 

The sun and the moon have specific orbits, according to a term appointed with magnificent precision that never changes or alters. Both the sun and the moon have distinct positions that they assume in summer and winter, effecting changes in the length of night and day. The sun and moon have been created so that people can keep account of time, and keep track of days and weeks. Both sun and moon have a set routine they neither come out before time nor set early.

All of this occurs according to the decree and determination of the Almighty Who is never resisted or contradicted. Meaning the sunrise, sunset or using sun for determining time is not happening by itself. It is not possible that such a perfect system is taking place on its own. This indicates that there is Someone really Mighty that the sun and moon are in His control. He is the Knower of all things and nothing ever escapes His knowledge, not even the weight of an atom on earth or in heavens.

 (6:97)  What is the purpose of creating stars?

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala tells us that He has created the stars for human beings to take benefit from. When one looks up towards the sky he doesn’t find a black sheet rather millions of stars are twinkling brightly. They also help sea travelers to chart their course in the darkness of nights when it is not easy to do. The point made here is that one should rise above heedlessness and shortsightedness and see that these stars are also there observing the command of their Maker. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala has detailed clear proofs for knowledgeable people to take benefit from. Knowledgeable people are those who have sound minds and are able to recognize the truth and avoid falsehood.

LESSONS:

– We learn that there are three great crimes which are extremely severe. 1. Lying against Allah whether it is by associating partners or any other way. For example, the mushrikeen of Makkah considered angels to be the daughters of Allah. 2. Claiming Prophethood. 3. Challenging the Qur’an.

– At the time of the death, a person is made aware of how his end will be. A person who dies, his Hereafter has arrived. The angels give him the news of what is going to happen.

– We learn that fabricating statements against Allah leads to disgrace and humiliation. This is a severe warning as sometimes we utter statements casually stating this is from Allah.

– We learn the consequences of being arrogant towards the ayaat of Allah. How is a Muslim arrogant towards the ayaat of Allah? We don’t bother to read, understand or act upon them. We spend our times talking or daydreaming about so many irrelevant things but when it comes to the Qur’an we don’t have the time.

– In Ayah 94, we learn that we will return to Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala alone. No one can accompany us. In the dunya we are looking for a supporter who can help us pass through difficulties. If our relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is severed then nothing can save us.

– On the Day of Judgment people will have no belongings. In the dunya people cannot be separated from their phones, gadgets, cars or other belongings. They take away most of our time and attention. On the Day of Judgment we will be standing there without time or the belonging we spent our time on. We should look in our house and note the stuff we are hoarding. If something fulfills our need then that is it. On the Day of Judgment we will not be thinking about our latest gadgets or color coordinated clothes. This is not going to benefit us in the Hereafter.

– In the Hereafter there will be no relationship. This summarizes the fact that a person is alone. He will be answerable for his actions alone. Don’t deceive yourself by crowding up your life. When we have too many friends or stuff we are only deceiving ourselves. We have crowded up our lives only to delude ourselves. We should remember we will be alone and empty handed.  Many times we don’t obey Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala or follow His commands because of the fear that we will be alone but we need to think which loneliness is better? The loneliness in the dunya because we follow the truth or the loneliness in the Hereafter when we will be locked up in columns of Hellfire?

– We learn that the sun and moon, the day and night function according to how Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala has scheduled them. Therefore, we should not complain why the day is so long or night is short. It is the decree of Allah.

– Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala has created day for working and night for resting. Therefore, we should follow this schedule.

– We use the lunar calendar for ibadaah to determine months and the solar calendar to determine Salah timings. This indicates both the sun and moon are used for calculating time.

– There is a purpose behind every creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala. We should look around us and observe each of His Ayaat and reflect on them. Those people who have knowledge only they will benefit from these signs.

Surah Al An'aam Notes (88-92)

That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But if they had associated others with Allah , then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing.

Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophethood. But if the disbelievers deny it, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers.

Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds."

And they did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, " Allah did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, " Allah [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves.

And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers.

Shirk eradicates the deeds, even the deeds of the Messengers.

(6:88) Allah is teaching the Quraish how corrupt shirk is. Even if they do good deeds, if they do shirk, their good deeds will be multiplied by zero.  Even if the Prophets, all the names that Allah had mentioned in the previous ayats, had committed shirk all their deeds would be worthless. The Prophets would never do this but Allah is demonstrating to the Quarish how shirk burns away good deeds. Shirk is so powerful that Allah does not forgive it.

(6:89) Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala states that each of the Prophets mentioned above were either given some Scripture and some were followers of that Scripture. They were not just given knowledge of the Book but also taught how to apply that knowledge. These bounties were bestowed on them as a mercy for the servants, and out of Allah’s kindness for His creation.

We should recall that the addressees of these ayaat were the mushrikeen of Makkah. They were narrated the story of Ibraheem `alayhi salaam so that they could relate to him. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says that if the Quraysh [and the rest of the people of the earth – the Arabs and non-Arabs, illiterate and the People of the Scriptures] deny the Scripture, the Hukm and the Prophethood of Muhammad sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam then we don’t need them. These bounties have been entrusted to another people [the Muhajiroon and Ansaar], and those who follow their lead until the Day of Resurrection. They will not deny any of these favors, not even one letter. Rather they will believe in them totally, even the parts that are not so clear to some of them.

(6:90) Addressing His servants and Messenger, Muhammad sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala says that tell them you don’t ask for any reward for delivering the Qur’an to them or anything else. It is a reminder for the `Alameen [the mankind and Jinns]. They are reminded by it and guided from blindness to clarity, from misguidance to guidance, and from disbelief to faith.

The Messenger is but a human to whom the book was revealed by inspiration.

(6:91) Ibn `Abbas radhiAllahu `anhu and Ibn Katheer said that this Ayah was revealed about the Quraysh. While some said that it was revealed about some Jews. Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani writes in his Maroof-ul-Qur’an if those who said this were the idolaters of Makkah then the matter is obvious for they did not believe in any book and prophet. And if they were Jews, then their saying so was an outcome of their anger and irritation contrary to the dictates of their own religion.

The word qadaru [قَدَرُو] is from the word qadr which means “to appraise, assess or know the value of something”. How can we assess the value of something? By studying it, by examining it, by acquiring knowledge about it not from only one aspect but several aspects.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala tells the Prophet sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam to ask the people who deny Scripture absolutely: If you think Allah did not reveal any book to any human being then you better have an answer as to who revealed the Torah in which you believe. You and all others know that Allah sent down Torah to Musa `alayhi salaam, the son of `Imran. He sent the Torah as a light and guidance for people so that it could shed light on the answers to various disputes, and to guide away from the darkness of doubts.

And Who sent down the Qur’an in which Allah taught you the news of those who were before you and the news of what will come after that neither you nor your fathers had knowledge of?

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala ends the ayah by saying, leave them to play in ignorance and misguidance until the true news comes to them. Then, they will know whether the good end is theirs or for the fearful servants of Allah.

(6:92) As you accept that the Torah was sent down by Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala so this Qur’an too was sent by Allah. And sufficient for them is the proof of its veracity that the Qur’an confirms what has been revealed in the Torah and the Injeel. Just as Torah and Injeel were revealed to the Bani Isra`eel, the Qur’an was revealed to the Bani Isma`eel who had received no prophet or book of guidance until that time. Bani Isma`eel were the Arabs living in Umm al-Qura and its environs. Qur’an calls Makkah Umm al-Qura or the Mother of Cities. It means the root and foundation of all towns and habitations. It also has the Qiblah, the central attraction of acts of `Ibadaah for the whole world.

Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala ends this ayah by saying that those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, believe in this blessed Book, the Qur’an as well. They are those who perform what Allah ordered them, offering the prayers perfectly and on time.

 Why has the Akhirah been mentioned here? 

It is because anyone who believes in the Hereafter and the Judgment Day will definitely be moved by the fear of Allah. He would be free from the shackles of ignorant customs and embrace the truth in its entirety.

The lack of concern for the Akhirah is the mother of all spiritual diseases. From here come Kufr, Shirk, sin and disobedience. If a believer happens to have committed a mistake or sin, he does feel a pinch in his heart. Sooner or later, he repents and resolves to stay away from sin in the future. So, the fear of Allah and the concern for the Akhirah are, in all truth, channels which make human beings what they should be and which make them capable of staying away from crime, sin and disobedience by conscious choice.

Lessons to learn

• We learn that shirk eradicates good deeds whether someone is a layman or an honorable, learned scholar.

• Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala doesn’t need people to accept His religion. Rather when a person follows the Deen he is only benefiting himself. This is such an important message that this is repeated again and again. It is because sometimes when we begin studying religion we feel as if we are honoring the religion.

•  When a person doesn’t utilize the blessings they are taken away and given to someone else before our eyes.

• We learn the obligation of knowing Allah; about having the maa`rifa of Allah. It is one of the most important things in a believer’s life. Learning about Allah is not limited to Allah is One and He is our Creator.

• In Ayah 92, we learn that the Qur’an is for all people and not just Arabs.

• It is the responsibility of the people who have been given the Qur’an to convey it to others. This should be their mission in life.

•  Belief in Akhirah signifies a stronger and better relationship with Qur’an and Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala. When a person fears the questioning in the Hereafter, he will strive to learn and do what he should be doing as a righteous believer.

• The concern for the Akhirah will make one careful about his Salah.
