Nabee Isa Alayhis Salaam & "The Da Vinci Code"


The following Khutbah was delivered by me at the Islamic Society of York Region Masjid on when 35 students from a Catholic Diocese visited our Masjid to observe our modes of prayer. I chose the above titled subject for my Bayaan. For the benefit of our distinguished visitors, I used the equivalent English [Biblical] names wherever necessary. The verses from the Noble Quran were recited in Arabic followed with the necessary translations.

In the Name of Almighty Allah Most Beneficent, Most Merciful


Assalamualaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu


On this Muslim day of Sabbath, I extend our warm welcome to our brothers and sisters from the Quinti Catholic Diocese. I call upon Almighty God, the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. Almighty God Who bestowed life and forgiveness upon Prophet Adam and his wife Eve as progenitors of mankind. Almighty God Who brought Noah and the believers safely through the flood; Who was the friend and the Giver of sons to Abraham in his old age; Who preserved Lot and Who led Moses and the Israelites; Whose many gifts rested upon David and Solomon.

Almighty God Who blessed the wombs of Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist and her beloved cousin, Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, the Messiah sent as a Sign to mankind. Almighty God Who has never deserted humanity and Who, in His Loving Kindness, sent Muhammad as the final prophet and mercy to mankind, as promised throughout the previous Scriptures.

Allah in verse 55 of Surah Ali-i-Imran Almighty Allah declares: "Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus I will take thee and raise thee to Myself And clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith."

Jesus of Nazareth [peace be upon him] is one of the most widely revered religious figure in the world. Not only is he central to Christianity, the largest religion in the world, he is also venerated throughout Islam, the world's second largest faith. Muslims believe in the Virgin Birth and the miracles of Jesus Alayhis Salaam. But this shared interest in his message goes much further. His actions and words introduce something new to monotheism: They develop the merciful spirit of Almighty God's nature. Jesus Alayhis Salaam confirmed the Torah, the importance of the Absolute Truth with regard to the Oneness of the Glorious Creator and Maker.

He preached brotherhood, compassion and self-purification as crucial links between learning the words of Almighty God's Message and possessing the wisdom to carry it out. Muslims display a true and loving spirit of charity, towards Jesus Christ and his mother Mary (Maryam) peace be upon them. This deep love and devotion for Jesus and his beloved mother Alayhim Salaam spring from the fountainhead of their faith - the Most Holy and Glorious Quran. Muslims do not take the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Alayhis Salaam. (Peace be upon him).

Almighty Allah informs us with words of wisdom in verse 61 of Surah Az-Zukhruf: "And Jesus shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): Therefore have no doubt about the Hour, but follow ye Me: this is the Straight Way."

This verse is understood to refer the second coming of Jesus [peace be upon him] in the Last Days before the Resurrection, when according to Muslim belief, he will destroy all false doctrines and prepare the way for the universal acceptance of Islam - the Gospel of Unity and Peace leading to the Straight Way - the Path of Righteousness [Seeratal Mustaqeem]. Whenever a Muslim mentions the name Jesus without the words of respect - Alayhis Salaam, he or she would be considered uncouth and acting in an un-Islamic manner. Nabi Esa Alayhis Salaam (Jesus Christ Peace be upon him) is mentioned by name twenty-five times in the Most Noble and Glorious Quran spread over fifteen different chapters. He is mentioned five times more by name including titles of respect than our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

Throughout the Most Holy and Glorious Quran, he is addressed with respect as: Ibne Maryam; (Son of Mary) Massih, (Messiah) Abdullah, (Servant), Rasulullah (Messenger). He is spoken of as 'the word of Allah' as the 'spirit of Allah' as a 'sign of Allah' and numerous other epithets of honour. The Most Noble Quran honours this mighty Messenger of Almighty Allah, and the Muslims have not fallen short over the past fourteen hundred years in doing the same. There is not a single disparaging remark in the Most Noble Quran to which even the most jaundiced among the Christians can take exception.

The creed of Islam is given to us in verse 136 of Surah Al-Baqarah: Say: "We believe in Almighty God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus and that given to all prophets from their Lord: We make no distinction between any of them: And we bow to Almighty God (in Islam)".

It is absurd to write a fictional story, where the plot or story line revolves around non-fictional characters. It is even more outrageous when these real-life divinely ordained characters are illustrious, famous, distinguished, renowned and recognized God-sent personalities such as all the Prophets of Almighty God.. It is also ludicrous to suggest that a supposedly fictional story such as the "Da Vinci Code" will not have an effect on or influence the understanding or thinking of the general man in the street regarding these personalities, who were chosen by Almighty Allah to influence the course of history. Experience shows conclusively that, however solidly the pedestal of blasphemy and Fitnah may stand, it will not endure for sooner or later, it will collapse upon the perpetrators themselves for declares Almighty God Most Exalted in verse 6 of Surah Al An'am: "See they not how many of those before them We did destroy?"

Now comes the argument from history, looking backwards and forwards. Are the perpetrators of blasphemy so short-sighted or arrogant as to suppose that they are firmly established on earth, safe and secure in their privileges. Are they not being reminded of blasphemers in the past, who failed in their sacred duties and were wiped out? But alas, those without faith, instead of facing facts squarely "turn away there from" and have proven the truthfulness of Almighty God's promise which is made very clear to us in verse 8 of Surah As-Saff: "Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (By Blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete (The Revelation of) His Light. Even though the unbelievers may detest (it)."

This most beautiful verse is a warning to the perpetrators of blasphemy, injustice and oppression that Almighty God's Light is unquenchable. The more these perpetrators of injustice try to quench God's Light, the clearer it shines, to confound and shame them!

Members of the media and film industry often cite "Freedom of Speech" in the presentation of their blasphemous views. Freedom of Speech is, however, not a license to say anything. It does not grant the right to plagiarize, it does not allow for defamation and it cannot, under any circumstances, be considered to be a manner of legalizing or even tolerating vilification, slander and blasphemy of any type or degree. The Prophets are all Almighty God's Messengers to humanity. They were preferred and selected by the Most Glorious Creator Himself above all other members of the human race and were apportioned the important responsibility of conveying His divine message. Muslims are commanded to believe in and show utmost respect to all the Prophets of Almighty God as commanded in verse 285 of Surah Al-Baqara: "The believers believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messenger."

It is also the foremost duty and responsibility of Muslims to protect the honour and dignity of every one of the Messengers of Almighty God. An attack on any Prophet of God is an attack on Islam. Among the Messengers sent by Almighty God, Jesus Alayhis Salam holds a very unique and special place. His birth was miraculous, through the command of His Maker, his mission was unique and he will return to the earth to re-establish the din of Haqq [religion of Truth] upon the way of Muhammad Sallallahoo 'alayhi wa sallam. The claims being made in the movie, "The Da Vinci Code? about Jesus 'Alayhis Salam, being married to Mary Magdalene, are blatant lies.

Muslims all over the world condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the notion or assertion that Jesus Alayhis Salam was married and had children as presented in the movie "The Da Vinci Code". It is our foremost duty as Muslims to oppose such false claims. It is also a must for us to engage in propagating and teaching truth regarding this mighty Prophet of Almighty God. It must also be borne in mind that the Muslim objection is on the basis of the lie being attributed to his very noble life. To reiterate, the Most Holy and Glorious Quran confirms in the clearest terms that Nabi Esa Alayhis Salaam (Jesus) was a true servant and messenger of Almighty God. Muslims hold him in the highest reverence and believe that he was miraculously born of a virgin. He was endowed with the power to perform many miracles and was sent to preach the true worship of Almighty God.

His call, from the beginning, was marked by complete uprightness and piety. His call was based on the principle that there is no mediation between the Creator and His creatures, even though this teaching was in conflict with the Pharisees superficial interpretation of the Torah. He made them understand that the Ten Commandments had more value than they could have imagined. There is ground for closer relations between Muslims and Christians because, essentially, Muslims believe the same things about Nabi Esa Alayhis Salaam (Jesus Christ) as did his earliest followers. It is the foremost duty of every Muslim to advance a better understanding of the Islamic faith throughout the western world in order to counter the crude misrepresentations and vulgar misrepresentations of Islam.

Be so as it may, the time has come for Muslims and Christians to forge closer ties between them; ties based upon trust and understanding. In the name of peace and brotherhood, I now address my Christian brothers and sisters. Allow me to quote a verse from your Holy Bible to bring to light the following most beautiful verse. By acting upon this verse, we would most certainly be fulfilling our Divine Duty as Almighty God has declared: "Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God."

May Almighty God's everlasting peace and blessings be upon all of you. Ameen

11. The inmates of Hell would be lashed with heavy clubs of iron.

The Creation of Hell-Fire
—••——••——••——••—

"Fear the fire, which is prepared for the disbelievers."
[Ali'-Imran, 3: 131]


"Truly Hell is lying in wait- a destination for the transgressors."
[an-Naba, 78: 21-22]


Abdullah bin Umar (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: “Allah Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘When someone dies, he is shown his destination morning and evening and if he belongs to the people of Paradise, (he will be shown his place) among the people of Paradise, and if he is from the people of Hell, (he will be shown his place) among the people of Hell.’”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]


Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“There was a dispute between Hell and Paradise during which Hell said, ‘The haughty and the proud will find abode in me.’ And Paradise said, ‘The meek and the humble will find their abode in me.’ Thereupon, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, (addressing Hell) said, ‘You are the means of My punishment by which I punish those of My servants whom I wish.’ (and addressing Paradise), He said, ‘You are My mercy by means of which I will show mercy to those whom I wish. And each one of you will be full.’”
[Muslim]

[al Hijr, 15: 43-44]


“To them will be said, ‘Enter you the gates of Hell to dwell therein. And how evil is this abode of the arrogant.’”
[az Zumar, 39: 72]


“But those who reject Our signs are the companions of the left hand – on them will be fire vaulted over.”
[al Balad, 90: 19-20]


“It is the fire of Allah, kindled to a blaze, which mounts right to the hearts. It will be a vault over them in outstretched columns.”
[al Humazah, 104: 6-9]


Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
‘When the month of Ramadan begins and the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]


•——••——••——••——••——•
Levels of Hell
•—
—••——••——••——••——•
“To all are degrees or ranks according to their deeds.”
[an-An'am, 6: 132]


“Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah like the one who draws upon himself the wrath of Allah and whose abode is in Hell – an evil refuge? They are varying grades in the sight of Allah, and Allah sees well all that they do.”
[ali'-Imran, 3: 162-163]


“Indeed the hypocrites are in the lowest depths of the Fire; you will find no helper for them.”
[an Nisa, 4: 145]


•——••——••——••——••——•
Capacity and Depth of Hell
•—
—••——••——••——••——•
On the Day of Judgment the inhabitants of Hell will see their destined abode face to face and will realize the error of their ways. But, ofcourse, it will be too late. The Qur’an states: “No! When the earth is pounded to powder, and your Lord comes with His angels, rank upon rank, and Hell, that Day, is brought [face to face] – on that Day will man remember? But how will that remembrance profit him?”
[al Fajr, 89: 21-23]


“On the Day We will say to Hellfire, ‘have you been filled?’ it will say, ‘Are there some more?’”
[Qaf, 50: 30]


Ibn Mas'ud (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“Hell will be brought on that Day. IT will have seventy thousand reins with seventy thousand angels drawing it by each rein.”
[Muslim]


Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“And his (the disbeliever’s) seat in Hellfire is as much as (the .distance) between Makkah and Madinah.”
[at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim]


Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported: “While we were in the company of Allah’s Messenger (SAW), we heard a terrible sound. Thereupon, Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Do you know what that sound is?’ When we answered, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said. “That is a stone which was thrown into Hell seventy years ago and has been constantly falling until now when it finally reached the bottom.’”
[Muslim]


•——••——••——••——••——•
The Fuel of Hell-Fire
•—
—••——••——••——••——•
People:
“Those who has disbelieved – their wealth and their children will never benefit them anything with Allah. And those are the ones who are the fuel of Hellfire.”
[ali'-Imran, 3: 10]


•——••——••——••——••——•
Jinn:
“And there are among us Muslims (in submission to Allah) and others who deviate from justice. And whoever accepts Islam has sought out the rightpath. As for those who deviate, they will be firewood for the Hellfire.”
[al-Jinn, 72: 14-15]
•——••——••——••——••——•
Stones:
“But if you cannot – and of a surety you cannot – then fear the fire whose fuel is men and stones, which is prepared for those who reject faith.”
[al Baqarah, 2: 24]


“O you who believe, save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones, over which are appointed angels, stern and severe, who do not disobey Allah in what He orders them and who do precisely what they are commanded.”
[at-Tahreem, 66: 6]
•——••——••——••——••——•
False Gods
“Verily, you (unbelievers) and what you worship besides Allah are fuel for Hellfire, You will surely come to it. If those had (truly) been gods, they would not have come to it. But all will abide therein eternally.”
[al-Anbiya, 21: 98-99]


“And the Fierce Fire will be brought out before those straying in evil, and it will be said to them, ‘Where are those you worshipped besides Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?’ Then they will be thrown into it (the Hellfire) on their faces – they and those straying in evil and the soldiers of Iblees, all together.”
[ash Shu'ara, 26: 91-95]
•——••——••——••——••——•
The Intensity of its Fire
•—
—••——••——••——••——•
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: “When Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘Your ordinary fire is one of the 70 potions of the Hellfire,’ someone commented, ‘O Messenger of Allah, would it (ordinary fire) not be sufficient (to burn the wrongdoers)?’ At that, Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, ‘The Hellfire has 69 more portions than ordinary (worldly) fire, and all of them are as hot as this (worldly fire).’”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]


“Verily, Allah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire. Dwelling therein forever, and they will find no protector or helper.”
[al-Ahzab, 33: 64-65]


“But he who is given his record behind his back will soon cry for destruction, and he will enter a blazing Fire.”
[al Inshiqaq, 84: 10-12]


“No, they deny the Hour (of the judgment to come), but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the Hour. When it sees them from a far off place, they will hear its fury and its raging sigh. And when they are cast, bound, in chains, into constricted place therein, they will plead therein for destruction. Do not plead today for a single destruction; plead for destruction oft-repeated.”
[al-Furqan, 25: 11-14]


“The companions of the left hand – what are the companions of the left hand? (They will be) in the midst of a fierce blast (of fire) and in boiling water.”
[al Waqi'ah, 56: 41-42]


“But, he whose scales are light his home will be a pit. And what will make you understand what that is? (It is ) a fire, blazing fiercely.”
[al Qari’ah, 101: 8-11]


“Soon will I cast him into Saqar (the Hellfire). And what will explain to you what Saqar is? It permits nothing to endure, and it leaves nothing alone, darkening and changing the color of man.”
[al-Muddaththir, 74: 26-29]


“Their abode will be Hell. Every time it abates. We will increase for them the blaze (the fierceness) of the fire.”
[al Isra, 17: 97]


“Those are the ones, who have exchanged the Hereafter for the gains of this worldly life. The punishment will not be lightened for them, and they will not be aided.”
[al-Baqarah, 2: 86]


“So taste, (the result of your deeds), for We will not increase you except in punishment.”
[an Naba, 78: 30]


Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“The most favored man among the dwellers of the Earth will be brought from among the people of the Fire on the Day of Resurrection. He will be dyed in the Fire but once, and then it will be said to him, ‘O son of Adam, have you ever seen good at all? Has any pleasure ever come to you?’ He will say, ‘No, by Allah, O Lord.’ Then the most miserable people in the world will be brought from the people of Paradise and will be dyed with the dye of Paradise. It will be said to him,‘O son of Adam, have you ever seen any misery, and has any hardship ever come to you? ‘ He will say, ‘No, by Allah, O my Lord. No misery ever came to me, nor did I see any hardship.’”

“The companions of the left hand – what are the companions of the left hand? (They will be) in the midst of a fierce blast (of fire) and in boiling water and in the shades of black smoke – nothing cool and nothing beneficial.”
[al-Waqi’ah, 56: 41-44]


“And woe that Day to the deniers (of truth). ([It will be said], ‘Depart to a shadow [of smoke ascending] in three columns, [which yields] no shade of coolness and is of no use against the fierce blaze.’”
[Mursalat, 77: 28-31]

But the prayer of those without faith is not but in error.’”
[Ghafir, 40: 49-50]

[at-Tahreem, 66: 6]

“Over it are nineteen. And We have not made the guardians of the Fire except angels. And We have made their number only as a trial for the unbelievers – in order that the People of the Book may be certain and that the believers may increase in faith, and so that the People of the Book and the believers would not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers would say, ‘What example does Allah intend by this?’ Thus does Allah leave to stray whom he pleases and guides whom He pleases. And none can know the soldiers of your Lord except He. And this is nothing other than a warning to mankind.”
[al-Muddaththir, 74: 30-31]

“They will cry out, ‘O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us.’ He will say, “Surely, you will stay (as you are).’”

‘On the night of my ascent to Heaven. I saw Musa (who was a tall, brown, curly-haired man) as if he was one of the men of the Shan’awah tribe. Then I saw ‘Isa, a man of medium height, of moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors, and of lank hair. I also saw Malik, the gatekeeper of the Hellfire.’”

The companions said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, if ninety-nine out of every one hundred of us are brought forth , then what will remain of us?’ The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) stated, ‘My nation among other nations is like a white hair on a black bull.’”

But verily, Allah will expose all that you fear.’ If you question them, they declare, ‘We were only talking idly and playing.’ Say, ‘Is it Allah and His signs and His messengers that you were mocking?’ Make no excuses that you were rejected faith after having accepted it. IF We pardon some of you, We will punish others because they were criminals. The hypocrites – men and women are of one another. They enjoin evil and forbid what is just and close their hands [in stinginess]. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are rebellious and perverse. Allah has promised the hypocrites men and women and the rejecters of faith the fire of Hell; they will dwell therein. It is sufficient for them. And Allah will curse them, and they will have an enduring punishment.”

Nor did those who had been given the scripture make schisms until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere in religion to Him, to establish regular prayer, and to pay zakah. And that is the upright religion.

[Ibrahim, 14: 15-17]

Persecutors of Believers:
”Those who presect [or draw into temptations] the believers – men and women – and then do not turn in neither for the benefits of the Hereafter nor of this world); 2) the treacherous who does not show himself but his greed is such that he is deceitful even in small things; 3) a person who would betray you morning and evening regarding your family and your property.’ He also made mention of 4) the miser of the liar and 5) one who is in the habit of abusing people and using obscene and foul language.”
[Muslim]

It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“Paradise and Hell fell into a dispute for, accommodating the haughty and proud, and Paradise said, ‘What is the matter with me that only the meek and the humble and the down trodden and simple will find abode in me?’ Thereupon, Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are a means of My mercy. I will show mercy through you to whom I will from among My servants.’ Then He said to Hell, ‘You are a sign of My chastisement, and I will chastise through you whom I will from among My servants. Both of you will be full.’ And as regards to Hell, it will not be full until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot over it. Then Hell will say, ‘Enough, enough, enough!’ at which point it will be full and will be compressed. Allah will not treat unjustly anyone among His creation. As for Paradise, He will create another creation to fill it.”
[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“There are two types of inhabitants of Hell whom I have not seen in my lifetime: People who have whips like the tails of oxen with them and will be beating people, and women who will be dressed yet undressed, who will be inclined to evil and will make others incline towards it. Their heads will appear like the humps of Persian camels inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise, nor will they even smell its odour, although will be smelled from long distances away.”
[Muslim]

(When the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) saw Hell, many different kinds of people were there; however, there were two types whom he did not recognize because they did not exist at the time when he was alive, (seventh century). These two types of people are the following:
1) those carrying whips who were beating others (oppressors)
2) women wearing revealing outfits much like the fashionable clothing of today. These women have unusual hairstyles, perhaps like the ones worn by modern-day women. Through this hadith the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) predicted the nature of women’s clothing in the future- he foretold that clothing considered fashionable would reveal much of the body – and he also predicted the nature of the hairstyles and wigs of modern times worn by those women who will be among the inhabitants of Hell).

For it is a tree that springs out of the bottoms of Hellfire; the shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils. Truly they will eat from it and fill their bellies with it. Then on top of that they will be given a mixture of boiling water.”

[Hud, 11: 106-107]

“Verily, you [unbelievers] and what you worship besides Allah are fuel for Hellfire. You will surely come to it. If those had [truly] been gods, they would not have come to it. But all will abide therein eternally. There, for them will be heaving, deep signs, and they will not hear there [anything else].”
[al Anbiya, 21: 98-100]

“Therein they will cry out [for assistance], ‘Our Lord, remove us [and ] we will work righteousness – other than what we used to do.’ But did We not give you long enough life that whoever would be reminded therein could be reminded, and the warner had come to you? So taste [the result of your deeds]. There is no helper for the wrongdoers.”
[Fatir, 35: 37]

“They will conceal their regret when they see the penalty. And We will put yokes on the necks of the unbelievers. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?”
[Saba, 34: 33]

“For those who reject their Lord is the penalty of Hell, and evil is such a destination. When they are cast therein, they will hear the terrible drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth. It is almost bursting with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keepers will ask, ‘Did no warner come to you?’ They will say, ‘Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has revealed nothing. You are but in great delusion.’ And they will say, ‘Had we listened or used our intelligence, we would not now be among the companions of the Blazing Fire.’ So they will confess their sin, but far will be forgiveness from the companions of the Blazing Fire.”
[al Mulk, 67: 6-11]

“If only you could see when the criminals hang their heads before their Lord, [saying], ‘Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so sent us back [to the world]; we will work righteousness, for we are indeed certain [now].’ If We had willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its

guidance, but the Word will be realized: ‘I will fill Hell with jinn and men all together. Taste, then- for you forgot the meeting of this, your Day, We, [too], will forget you. And the taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do.’”
[as Sajdah, 32: 12-14]

“They will say, ‘Our Lord, our misfortune overwhelmed us, and we were a people astray. Our Lord, remove us from this; if ever we return [to evil], then we will indeed be wrongdoers.’ He will say, ‘Remain humiliated therein, and do not speak to Me!’”
[al Mu'minun, 23: 106-108]

“For We had certainly sent unto them a Book which We had detailed with knowledge, a guide and a mercy to a people who believe. Are they waiting for it to be realized? On the Day it is realized, those who disregarded it before will say, ‘Indeed, the messengers of our Lord came with the truth. Are there no intercessors [now] to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?’ They will have lost their souls, and lost from them is [all] that which they used to invent.”
[al-A’raf, 7: 52-53]

“They will say, ‘Our Lord, you have made us lifeless twice and You have given us life twice. Now we have confessed our sins, so is there any way to get out?’ [The answer will be],‘That is because when Allah was invoked alone you rejected [this], but if partners were associated with Him, you believed. The ruling [judgment] is with Allah, the Exalted, Most Great.’”
[Ghafir, 40: 11-12]

“How clearly they will see and hear the Day that they will come to Us. But the unjust today are in manifest error. But warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be determined; yet, they are unmindful, and they do not believe.”
[Maryam, 19: 38-39]

Abu Sa’eed (radiAllahu anhu) reported: “Allah Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a white-colored ram. [Abu Kurayb added: “Then it will be made to stand between Paradise and Hell.”] It will be said to the inhabitants of Paradise, ‘Do you recognize this?” They will stretch forth their necks and look towards it, saying, ‘Yes, it is death.” Then it will be said to the inhabitants of the Hellfire, ‘Do you recognize this?” And they will stretch forth their necks, look, and say, ‘Yes it is death.”Then the command will be given for slaughtering the ram, and it will be said, ‘O inhabitants of Paradise, [there is now] eternity and no death.” And then it will be said to the inhabitants of Hellfire, “O inhabitants of Hell, [there is now] eternity and no death.”’Allah’s Messenger (SAW) then recited the following verse, pointing with his hand to this material world: ‘But warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be determined; yet, they are unmindful, and they do not believe.’”
[Muslim, Maryam, 19: 39]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) related that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
“None will enter Paradise except that he will be shown the place that he would have occupied in Hellfire if he had been evil – so that he will be more thankful; each one of those who enter Hellfire will be shown the place that he would have occupied in Paradise if he had been good – so that he will increase in regret.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari]

We hear and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord!
To You is the journey's end.
[al-Baqarah, 2: 285]

"O Allah, save me from the fire (Jahannam)."

If a person recites the above  دعاء  and dies the same night, he will be saved from Jahannam and if he recites it seven times after Fajr Salaat before speaking to anyone and if he dies on that same day, he will be saved from Jahannam.
