enter the Garden by his testimony that La ilaha illa'Llah.”




And Moses said: "I find in the Tablets a nation of people who shall be

resurrected and assembled on the Day of Rising with their faces like

full moons. Let them be my nation!"

resurrected on the Day of Rising, when their foreheads and limbs

shall be blazing white from their wudhu’ (ablutions) and their sajda

(prostrations).”




Moses said: "O Lord! I find in the Tablets a nation of people whose

clothes are on their backs and whose swords are on their shoulders,

cause, until they do battle against the Dajjal. Let them be my nation!"

But He said: "They are the nation of Ahmad.”

them to intercede for those who come after them.”




Moses said: "O Lord! I find in the Tablets a nation of people who ask

forgiveness for their sins; when they raise their food to their mouths

it does not reach their stomachs before they are forgiven; they start

be resurrected and brought on the Day of Rising as three groups. One

group shall enter the Garden without reckoning, another's reckoning

will be easy, and another will be rigorously judged, then made to

enter the Garden; let them be my nation!"





Moses said: "O Lord! You have spread out all this goodness for

Ahmad and his nation; let me be a member of his nation!"

But Allah told him: "O Moses! I have chosen and preferred you over

other people with My Message and My Speech; take what I have

given you, and be one of the thankful.“
