The Qur’an For All Humanity
An Earthquake

performances can be fully replayed by recording
sets. Similarly, the present world is as if a huge
divine studio. Whatever man does or says is being
preserved at every moment. And when the time
comes, the story of everyone will be repeated by
this world in such a way that neither great nor
small sayings and doing will escape God’s
attention.
For the observance of proper behaviour in this
world, man requires only one thing. It should be
firmly embedded in his mind that he is under
divine surveillance at every moment. The deeds of
his entire life will be presented in the court of God.
Be these great or small, done secretly or publicly,
everything will be there on record.
If man is fully convinced of this reality, he will be
shaken completely even before the shaking of the
world. Before the all-encompassing earthquake of
Doomsday he will experience an earthquake in his
own soul which will change him completely. As a
result, he will become his own keeper. He will
abopt a disciplined life instead of a life of license.
