The Messenger of Allah (God) (may peace be upon him) said: Do you feel any trouble in seeing the moon on the night when it is full? They said: Messenger of Allah (God) , no. He (the Messenger) further said: Do you feel any trouble in seeing the sun, when there is no cloud over it? They said: Messenger of Allah (God) . no. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily you would see Him like this (as you see the sun and the moon). God will gather people on the Day of Resurrection and say: Let every people follow what they worshipped. Those who worshipped the sun would follow the sun, and those who worshipped the moon would follow the moon, and those who worshipped the devils would follow the devils. This Ummah (of Islam) alone would be left behind and there would be hypocrites too amongst it. Allah (God) would then come to them in a form other than His own Form, recognisable to them, and would say: I am your Lord. They would say: We take refuge with Allah (God) from thee. We will stay here till our Lord comes to us. and when our Lord would come we would recognise Him. Subsequently Allah (God) would come to them in His own Form, recognisable to them, and say: I am your Lord. They would say: Thou art our Lord. And they would follow Him, and a bridge would be set over the Hell; and I (the Holy Prophet) and my Ummah would be the first to pass over it; and none but the messengers would speak on that day, and the prayer of the messengers on that day would be: O Allah (God) ! grant safety, grant safety. In Hell, there would be long spits like the thorns of Sa'dan He (the Holy Prophet) said: Have you seen Sa'dan? They replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah (God) . He said: Verily those (hooks) would be like the thorns of Sa'dan, but no one knows their size except Allah (God) . These would seize people for their misdeeds. Some of them would escape for their (good) deeds, and some would be rewarded for their deeds till they get salvation. When Allah (God) would finish judging His bondsmen and because of His mercy decide to take out of Hell such people as He pleases. He would command the angels to bring out those who had not associated anything with Allah (God) ; to whom Allah (God) decided to show mercy. those who would say: There is no god but Allah (God) . They (the angels) would recognise them in the Fire by the marks of prostration, for Hell-fire will devour everything (limb) of the sons of Adam except the marks of prostration. Allah (God) has forbidden the fire to consume the marks of prostration. They will be taken out of the Fire having been burnt, and the water of life would be poured over them, and they will sprout as seed does In the silt carried by flood. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/001.smt.html#00 1.0349 . you will not face any difficulty in seeing your Lord but only so much as you feel in seeing one of them Abu Huraira reported that they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Allah (God) 's Messenger, will we be able to see our Lord on the Day of Judgment? He said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the sun in the noon when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. He again said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the moon on the fourteenth night when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. Thereupon he said: By Allah (God) Who is One in Whose Hand is my life. you will not face any difficulty in seeing your Lord but only so much as you feel in seeing one of them. Then Allah (God) would sit in judgment upon the servant and would say: O, so and so, did I not honour you and make you the chief and provide you the spouse and subdue for you horses, camels, and afforded you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes. And then it would be said: Did you not think that you would meet Us? And he would say: No. Thereupon He (Allah (God) ) would say: Well, We forget you as you forgot Us. Then the second person would be brought for judgment. (And Allah (God) would) say: 0, so and so. did We not honour you and make you the chief and make you pair and subdue for you horses and camels and afford you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes, my Lord. And He (the Lord) would say: Did you not think that you would be meeting Us? And he would say: No. And then He (Allah (God) ) would say: Well, I forget you today as you forgot Us. Then the third -one would be brought and He (Allah (God) ) would say to him as He said

Re: Luck and salvation
Dear Barbara, Perhaps this is the quote you are thinking of... Sandra He should forgive the sinful, and never despise his low estate, for none knoweth what his own end shall be. How often hath a sinner attained, at the hour of death, to the essence of faith, and, quaffing the immortal draught, hath taken his flight unto the Concourse on high! And how often hath a devout believer, at the hour of his soul's ascension, been so changed as to fall into the nethermost fire! Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh p. 263-268 - True Seeker Barbara wrote: I don't know where I picked it up, but I recall reading/hearing that at the moment of death a person makes a choice to turn toward God or away from God. It doesn't matter how they lived their life, at that moment a choice is made. So someone who lived a life of service to the Faith can turn away from God, which I take to mean regrets leaving this life, and someone who lead a very material life can see the light and turn toward God at that moment.
