The Hereafter

The Hereafter الآخرة

1 . The Hereafter is the victory of the felicitous.

1 ـ اَلآخِرةُ فَوزُ السُّعَداءِ

3 ـ الرَّابِحُ مَنْ باعَ العاجِلَةَ بِالآجِلَةِ

4 . Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world whereas good deeds are the tillage of the Hereafter.

4 ـ اَلمالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زينَةُ الحَيوةِ الدُّنيا، والعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ حَرْثُ الآخِرَةِ

5 . The conditions in this world are based on convention whereas the conditions in the Hereafter are based on merit.

5 ـ أحْوالُ الدُّنيا تَتْبَعُ الإتِّفاقَ وأحْوالُ الآخرةِ تَتْبَعُ الاِسْتِحْقاقَ

6 . Surely in front of you is a difficult place of ascension in which one whose weight is lighter is in a better position than the one whose weight is heavier, and the one who moves slowly is worse off than the one who moves swiftly. Verily its landing will lead you to either Paradise or hell.

6 ـ إنّ أمامَكَ عَقَبَةً كَؤُوداً، اَلمُخِفُّ فيها أحْسَنُ حالاً مِنَ المُثْقِلِ، والمُبْطِئُ عَلَيها أقْبَحُ أمْراً مِنَ المُسـْرِعِ، إنّ مَهْبِطَها بِكَ لامُحالَةَ على جَنَّة أوْ نار

7 . Verily the final destination is al-Qiyāmah and this is enough of an admonition for the one who reasons, and [enough of] a warning for the one who is unaware; and after that - what you know of the torment of the Day of Judgment and the frightening terror, and the deafening of the ears, and the turning of the ribs, and the narrowness of the grave, and the intensity of sadness and heavy-heartedness.

7 ـ إنَّ الغايَةَ القيامَةُ، وكَفى بِذلِكَ واعِظاً لِـمَنْ عَقَلَ، ومُعْتَبَراً لِمَنْ جَهِلَ، وبَعدَ ذلك ما تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ هَوْلِ الْمُطَّلَعِ، وَرَوْعاتِ الفَزَعِ، واسْتِكاكِ الأسماعِ، وَاخْتِلافِ الأضلاعِ، وضيقِ الأرماسِ، وَشِدَّةِ الأبلاسِ

8 . If you desire success and honor in the Hereafter, then take from the perishing [life of this world] for the everlasting [life of the Hereafter].

8 ـ إنْ رَغِبْتُم في الفَوزِ وكَرامَةِ الآخِرَةِ فَخُذُوا في الفَناءِ لِلْبَقاءِ

9 . Verily you are following the path of those who came before you, so put your efforts in [working for] your Hereafter and do not care for worldly gain.

9 ـ إنَّكَ في سَبيلِ مَنْ كانَ قَبْلَكَ، فَاجْعَلْ جِدَّكَ لآخرَتِكَ، ولا تَكْتَـرِثْ بِعَمَلِ الدُّنيا

13 ـ حَلاوَةُ الآخِرَةِ تُذهِبُ مَضاضَةَ شقاءِ الدُّنيا

14 ـ حَصِّلُوا الآخِرَةَ بِتَركِ الدُّنيا، ولاتُحَصِّلُوا بِتَركِ الدِّينِ الدُّنيا

15 . The Hereafter is everlasting.

15 ـ الآخرَةُ أبَدٌ

16 . Blessed is he who remembers the Hereafter and thus does good.

16 ـ طُوبى لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ المَعادَ فأحْسَنَ

17 . The seeker of the Hereafter finds in it what he hopes for, whereas in this world [only] that which is predestined for him comes to him.

17 ـ طالِبُ الآخِرَةِ يُدْرِكُ مِنْها أمَلَهُ وَيَأتيهِ مِنَ الدُّنيا ما قُدِّرَ لَهُ

20 ـ غايَةُ الآخِرَةِ البَقاءُ

21 . In the Hereafter there is accounting without action.

21 ـ في الآخِرَةِ حِسابٌ ولاعَمَلٌ

22 . Be from the children of the Hereafter and do not be from the children of this world, for surely every child will join his mother on the Day of Reckoning.

96 . No one will attain an elevated rank in the Hereafter except through sincerity in action, reducing hopes and espousing God-wariness.

96 ـ لايُدْرِكُ أحَدٌ رِفْعَةَ الآخِرَةِ إلاّ بِإخلاصِ العَمَلِ، وتَقْصيرِ الأمَلِ، وَلُزُومِ التَّقوى

97 . Become deserving of what Allah has prepared for you [in the Hereafter] by seeking the fulfillment of His true promise and being wary of the horror of His reckoning.

97 ـ إسْتَحِقُّوا مِنَ اللّهِ ما أعَدَّ لَكُمْ بِالتَّنَجُّزِ لِصِدقِ ميعادِهِ والحَذَرِ مِنْ هَوْلِ مَعادِهِ
