The Light of Guidance
by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan

10:62. No doubt! Verily the Auliya' of Allah [i.e. those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve(1).

10:63. Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah­ Islamic Monotheism), and used to fear Allah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and sins and by doing righteous deeds).

10:64. For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world (i.e. through a righteous dream seen by the person himself or shown to others), and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme success.

(1) (V.10:62) (i) Narrated Abu Sa'id AI-Khudri(rza) : Allah's Messenger(saw) said, "When the funeral is ready and the men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased was righteous (believer of Islamic Monotheism), it will say:

'Present me (hurriedly),' and if he was not righteous (disbeliever of Islamic Monotheism), it will say: 'Woe to it (me)! Where are they taking it (me)?' Its voice is heard by everything except man, and if he heard it, he would fall unconscious."

[SahihAI-Bukhdri, 2/1 314 (O.PAOO)]

(ii) Narrated' Abdullah(rza): I asked Allah's Messenger(saw), "What is the greatest sin with Allah?" He said, "To set up a rival to Allah though He Alone created you." I said, "That is indeed a great sin." Then I asked, "What is next?" He said. "To kill your son lest he should share your food with you." I further asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbour."
