“Indeed in that (there) is a sure lesson for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter. That is a Day whereon mankind will be gathered together, and that is a Day when all (the dwellers of the heavens and the earth) will be present. And We delay it only for a term (already) fixed, On the Day when it comes, no person shall speak except by His (Allah's) Leave. Some among them will be wretched and (others) blessed. As for those who are wretched, they will be in the Fire, sighing in a high and low tone. They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Verily, your Lord is the doer of whai He wills. And those who are blessed, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord will, a gift without an end,”?l yon

“Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); and the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, and the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, a dwelling place for the Taghoon (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hypocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), they will abide therein for ages. Nothing cool shail they taste therein, nor any drink, Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. But they belied Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet #8 brought) completely. And all things We have recorded in a Book. So taste you (the results of your evil actions); ne increase shall We give you, except in torment. Verily, for the Muttagoon, there will be success (Paradise); gardens and grapeyards; and young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; and a full cup (of wine). No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying; a reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift {according to the best of their good deeds). (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, — the Most Beneficent, none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave). The Day that Ar-Ruh (Jibreel (Gabriel) or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allah)

allows, and he will speak what is right. That is without doubt the True Day, 80, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)! Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, — the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent Jorth, and the disbeliever will say: “Woe to me! Would that I were dust!"

“When the sun Kuwwirat (wound round and lost its light and is overthrown), And when the stars shall fall; and when the mountains shall made to pass away; and when the pregnant shecamels shall be neglected; and when the wild beasts shall be gathered together; and when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; and the souls shall be joined with their bodies; and when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Avabs used to do) shall be questioned. For what sin she was killed? And when the written pages of deeds (good and bad) of every person shall be laid open; and when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place; and when Hell-fire shall be kindled to fierce ablaze, And when Paradise shall be brought near, (then) every person will know what he has brought (of good and evil).

“When the heaven is cleft asunder. And when the stars have fallen and scattered; and when the seas are burst forth (got dried up); and when the graves are turned upside down (and they bring out their contenis), (then) a person will know what he has sent forward and (what he has) left behind (of good and bad deeds). O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Most Generous? Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion; in whatever form He willed, He put you together. Nay! But you deny the Recompense (reward for good deeds and punishment for evil deeds). But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you, Kiramun (honourable) Katibin — writing down (your deeds), they know ail that you do. Verily, the Abrar (pious and righteous) will be in delight (Paradise); and verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell), in which they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense, and they (Al-Fujjar) will not be absent therefrom (i.e. will not go out from the Hell). And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is? (It will be) the Day when no person shall have power (ie do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah,"

“When the heaven is split asunder, and listens and obeys its Lord,

returning towards your Lord - with your deeds and actions (good

your deeds which you did). Then, as for him who will be given his

Record in his right hand, he surely will receive an easy reckoning,

and will return to his family in joy! But whosoever is given his

Record behind his back, he will invoke (his) destruction and shall

enter a blazing Five, and will be made to taste its burning. Verily,

he was among his people in joy! Verily, he thought that he would

The Terrifying, Great Events That Will Take Place On The Day Of Resurrection

Anas ibn Maalik 4 reported that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “As people will be raised on the Day of Resurrection, the sky will Tatush upon them.” The Prophet's saying, ‘Tatush upon them,’ has two possible meanings: light rain will fall down upon them from the sky or the heat will be sweltering. And Allah knows best.

“Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), on a

Great Day, the Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord

of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?’ It is established in As-sahih that they will be standing in sweat that

* will reach halfway up their ears; in another Hadeeeth, it is indicated

that people will be different in that regard, each according to his deeds. The following is mentioned in the hadith of intercession, which we will relate later on: “Verily, the sun will come near the slaves (of Allah) on the Day of Resurrection; it will be a single mile away from them. At that juncture, they will be known according to their deeds.”

Abu Hurairah & related that the Messenger of Allah #8 said, “On the Day of Resurrection, sweat will go in the earth the distance of 70 [Ba’an (outstretched arms)]. It will indeed reach the mouths of people or up until their ears.” Ath-Thaur, one of the narrators of the hadith, wasn't sure which it was. (Altmad) Muslim and Bukhaaree related it as well, each with his respective chain.
