Picture that may Assist in developing Yaqeen

[Abu Dujanah]

Yaqeen is the state when one has the proper reflection of a reality and gains the appropriate grasp of it. For Example a person knows that driving carelessly on the road will lead to a car accident. He has the belief that careless driving will cause him harm yet he lacks the yaqeen of it, since he never experienced one. So he drives without proper caution and then he has a terrible crash such that his limbs break and as a result he suffers from extreme pain. It will be in this condition that he will regret what he had done and will have the proper yaqeen of how terrible a car accident is really like, so he will decide never to drive carelessly again.

Many of us may have belief in Allah, death, the Day of ressurection, Hell and Heaven yet we may lack yaqeen of what we believe in. Yaqeen is a factor that drives and motivates one to attain Taqwaa or peity. And Taqwa is one of the essential factors in order to have the good deeds done to be accepted by Allah. without Taqwa in the heart, the Good deeds done are in vain and wont be counted on the mizaan in the Day of resurrection. So one way to develope yaqeen in our hearts about the hereafter is to see and reflect upon natural disasters and other related aspects in the universe, and to relate that with what is in store for us in the hereafter.







Imagine yourself that you have been ressurected from the grave, and You are standing on the ground of ressurection, Awaiting the moment in which the account of worldly deeds are about to begin. Now think of Hell Fire, whose Fire is blacker than Tar, and which is dragged to the plain of ressurection by some 4,900,000,000 angels and the hell will appear so terrible that everyone will be shocked and filled with extreme terror and fear upon seeing it. Even the prophets will fall on their knees and would say, "Ya Rab, Nafsee, Nafsee." This is brothers and sisters a reality that is bound to happen one day. Each one of us will be standing there and witnessing hell being brought forth in the plain of ressurection.
