God named Chapter 64 of the Quran "Mutual Blaming." In that
chapter, verse 9, He is describing the Day of Judgment as
the "Day of Mutual Blaming."
[64:9] The day will come when He
summons you to the Day of Summoning. That is the
Day of Mutual Blaming. Anyone who believes in
GOD and leads a righteous life, He will remit his sins, and
will admit him into gardens with flowing streams. They abide
therein forever. This is the greatest triumph.
The meaning of the Name is clearly explained throughout the
Quran. On the Awesome Day of Judgment, a blaming dialogue
will take place between many entities - the transgressors,
their leaders, their idols, their witnesses, Satan, the
messengers and God.
[39:69] Then the earth will shine with the light of its
Lord. The record will be proclaimed, and the
prophets and the witnesses will be brought forth.
Everyone will then be judged equitably, without the least
injustice.
The following verses are showing and explaining to us some
of the mix of blame, guilt, and remorse that will take place
on the day of mutual blaming. The transgressors and those
who have wasted their chance of redemption, in this life, by
constantly ignoring and violating the word of God will blame
themselves. They will blame their skins and they will wish
if they were dust!
God's Messenger of the Covenant*
[25:27] The day will come
when the transgressor will bite his hands (in
anguish) and say, "Alas, I wish I had followed
the path with the messenger.
[25:28] "Alas, woe to me,
I wish I did not take that person as a friend.
[25:29] "He has led me
away from the message after it came to me. Indeed, the devil
lets down his human victims."
[24:24] The day will come
when their own tongues, hands, and feet will bear witness to
everything they had done.
The Video Record
[41:21] They will
say to their skins, "Why did you bear witness
against us?" They will reply, "GOD made us speak up;
He is the One who causes everything to speak. He is
the One who created you the first time, and now you
have been returned to Him."
[78:40] We have sufficiently
warned you about an imminent retribution. That
is the day when everyone will examine what his hands
have sent forth, and the disbeliever
will say, "Oh, I wish I were dust."
They will blame their
leaders and
idolizers. In return, their leaders will blame them
and disown them:
[2:166] Those who were
followed will disown those who followed them.*
They will see the retribution, and all ties
among them will be severed.
[2:167]
Those who followed will
say, "If we can get another chance,
we will disown them, as they have disowned us now."
GOD thus shows them the consequences of their
works as nothing but remorse; they will never exit Hell.
The Idols Disown Their Idolizers
[28:62] The day will come
when He
calls upon them, saying,
"Where are those
idols you had set up beside Me?"
[28:63] Those who
incurred the judgment will say, "Our Lord, these
are the ones we misled; we misled them only because
we ourselves had gone astray. We now devote
ourselves totally to You. They were not really
worshiping us."
[28:64] It will be
said, "Call upon your idols (to help you)." They
will call upon them, but they will not respond. They
will suffer the retribution, and wish that they were
guided!
[34:33]
The followers
will say to their leaders, "It
was you who schemed night and day, then
commanded us to be unappreciative of GOD, and to
set up idols to rank with Him."
They will be ridden with remorse, when
they see the retribution, for we will place
shackles around the necks of those who
disbelieved. Are they not justly requited for
what they did?
On the Day of Resurrection
[14:21] When they all
stand before GOD,*
the followers
will say to the
leaders,
"We
used to follow you. Can you spare us even a
little bit of GOD's retribution?"
They will say, "Had GOD
guided us, we would have guided you. Now it is
too late, whether we grieve or resort to
patience, there is no exit for us."
All of them will even blame
GOD!!
For the Disbelievers: Miserable Life
Unavoidable
[20:124] "As
for the one who disregards My message,
he will have a miserable life, and we
resurrect him, on the Day of
Resurrection, blind."
[20:125]
He will say, "My Lord, why did you
summon me blind, when I used to be a
seer?"
[20:126]
He
will say, "Because you forgot
our revelations when they came to you,
you are now forgotten."
75:10]
The human being will say on that day,
"Where is the escape?"
Satan and his descendants will also
disown the losers on that day of mutual
blaming :
Satan Disowns His Followers
[14:22]
And the devil
will say, after the
judgment had been issued,
"GOD
has promised you the truthful
promise, and I promised you, but I
broke my promise. I had no power
over you; I simply invited you, and
you accepted my invitation.
Therefore, do not blame me, and
blame only yourselves.
My complaining cannot help you, nor
can your complaining help me. I have
disbelieved in your idolizing me.
The transgressors have incurred a
painful retribution."
[50:27]
His companion
said, "Our Lord, I did
not mislead him; he was far astray."
[50:28]
He
said, "Do not feud in
front of Me; I have sufficiently
warned you.
[50:29] "Nothing
can be changed now. I am never
unjust towards the people."
And the Messenger's testimony will
be :
[25:30]
The messenger*
said, "My Lord, my people have deserted this
Quran."
What a Day!! Indeed, those who will be loaded and
shackled with blame and remorse are the ones who have
underestimated God, and His words.
God's Messages to the World
[6:91]
They never valued GOD as He should be valued.
Thus, they said, "GOD does not reveal anything to any
human being." Say, "Who then revealed the scripture that
Moses brought, with light and guidance for the people?"
You put it down on paper to proclaim it, while
concealing a lot of it. You were taught what you never
knew - you and your parents.
Say, "GOD (is the One
who revealed it)," then leave them in their
heedlessness, playing.
[25:65] ...."Our Lord, spare us the agony of Hell; its
retribution is horrendous.
[25:66] "It is the worst abode; the
worst destiny."
[3:193] "Our Lord, we have heard a
caller calling to faith and proclaiming: `You shall believe
in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us
our transgressions, remit our sins, and let us die as
righteous believers.
[3:53] "Our Lord, we have believed in
what You have sent down, and we have followed the messenger;
count us among the witnesses."
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless you.
