41:16
It should be remembered that every great spiritual power has two aspects. In one, there is reward for the friends of God and in the other, there is punishment for His enemies. Thus it is the dhikr-i `asifah or the dhikr-i sarsar, which had destroyed many people, like the nation of `Ad, who had become extremely disobedient, (see verses: 41:16, 54:18-20, 69:6-7). In the spiritual journey of the personal world, when the stage of cIzra'il comes, a very great spiritual revolution, which is beyond description, takes place. But one point related to this event is that seven consecutive nights and eight days of it are ominous on the one side and auspicious and blessed on the other. For, during this time the enemies of Islam, like the nation of `Ad, perish spiritually and the doors of mercy open for the people of faith.
