Warnings From Surah Sajdah
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Sajdah
فَذُوقُواْ بِمَا نَسِيتُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـذَآ
Then taste (the punishment) because of your forgetting the meeting of this Day of yours
Means, it will be said to the people of Hell by way of rebuke: ‘so taste the punishment because you tried to forget about it and acted as if you had forgotten it.’
إِنَّا نَسِينَـكُم
Surely, We too will forget you,
[32:14]
Means, `We will deal with you as if We have forgotten you,’ but nothing escapes Allah’s attention, and He makes the punishment fit the crime,
_
Thus Allah ﷻ says in another Ayah
وَقِيلَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَنسَىٰكُمۡ كَمَا نَسِيتُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَا وَمَأۡوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ
And it will be said, “Today We will forget you as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours, and your refuge is the Fire, and for you there are no helpers.
[45:34]
_
And then Allah ﷻ carries on in Surah Sajdah
وَذُوقُـواْ عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do.
[32:14]
_
Then Allah ﷻ describes the Mu’mineen,
إِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِآيَاتِنَا الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهَا خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَسَبَّحُوا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
Only those believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded by them, fall down in prostration and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.
Indicating that those who do not fall in prostration are proud beings and are inviting the punishment of Allah ﷻ.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah Almighty said:
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا قَذَفْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ
Grandeur is my cloak and greatness is my garment. Whoever competes with me in one of these two, I will cast him into the Hellfire.”
[Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4090, Grade: Sahih according to Al-Arna’ut]
تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ
Their sides forsake their beds
It refers to either Qiyam Al Layl, or the Fajr and Isha Salah with Jama’ah.
يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً
they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration
Fearing His punishment, hoping for His reward.
وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
and they spend out of what We have bestowed on them.
Referring to doing the Faraa’idh and the Nawafil acts of Ibadah.
_
Then Allah ﷻ ends with,
فَلاَ تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ
No person knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of eyes
As in a Hadith Qudsi, Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet ﷺ said,
قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لاَ عَيْنَ رَأَتْ، وَلاَ أُذُنَ سَمِعَتْ، وَلاَ خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ، فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ
“Allah said: I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human heart has conceived.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3244, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2824]

May Allah ﷻ protect us.
