The One Whose Mouth Will Be Bridled with Fire

Shaykh Wahid Abdus Salam Bali has painted three scenes — and all three share one root: betrayal of trust.

Three Scenes from the Plain of Resurrection

The crowd is terrifying, the heat is even more terrifying, and people are drowning in sweat. A man has a bridle of fire in his mouth — he is screaming. He is the one who knew knowledge but hid it from people.

Another has a huge, heavy piece of land hanging around his neck — cut from seven layers. He had forcibly taken a handspan of someone else's land.

Behind a third person a flag is planted, on which is written — This is the treachery of so-and-so. He made a promise and broke it, and betrayed a trust that was placed with him.

The Shaykh says — even if no one in this world caught them, on that day Allah will expose it in front of everyone.

The Shaykh's Answer

The rulings of the Shariah are a trust placed on our shoulders — so every sin is in reality a betrayal of that trust.

The one who cast his eyes on the haram, the one who abandoned Fajr, the one who lied, the one who backbit — in the Shaykh's words, each of them has broken the trust. But the matter does not end here; right away he also pointed out the door of repentance.

Evidence — The Door of Despair Is Closed

قُلْ يَٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Surah Az-Zumar 39:53 — Saheeh International)Copy

The Shaykh says — giving sadaqah after a sin is also mustahabb; the Prophet ﷺ said that sadaqah extinguishes sin just as water extinguishes fire. (Jami at-Tirmidhi)

What to Do

1. Repent to Allah from that sin — without delay, today itself.
2. Make a pledge to Allah — that you will not return to that sin.
3. Give up the sin and also cut off its means and causes.
4. Give a little sadaqah as far as you are able; and if anyone has a right owed to them, return it.
