And the Kursee (literally, Footstool) is no more to the ‘Arsh (Throne) than that ring is to that desert land. None can truly estimate (the size of) the Throne except Allah ‘Azza Wo-Jall (to Hina belongs Might and Majesty).” This name ‘Arsh (Throne) might be meant to indicate this Footstool (Kursee}, and that has been related in certain Ahaadecth, as in the hadith, “Seven He will give shade to in the shade of His Throne (‘Arsh), on a day wherein there will be no shade except His shade...”

Here, the Prophet # said, “Or was he rewarded for swooning away at At-Toor?” This shows that the swooning away that will occur with the people on the Day of Resurrection is caused by the Lord ## showing Himself to His slaves when judgments are to be passed. People will swoon away from the Mightiness and Glory (of Allah 4g), just as Moosa 8£i swooned away on the day of At-Toor, when he #86) asked to see Allah 3g. When his Lord 4¢ revealed Himself to the mountain, He made it to be crushed, and Moosa sé fell down, passing out. When the people will swoon away on the Day of Resurrection, Moosa #4) might be rewarded for his passing out the first time, so he will not pass out then (on the Day of Resurrection), when Allah 4# will reveal Himself. Or, perhaps, his passing out will be of a lesser kind than it will be others, so he will come to before all of the people. And Allah # knows best.

It is related in certain Ahaadeeth, “That the believers will see Allah “Azza Wa-Jall (to Him belongs Might and Majesty) in the wide plains of the (Day of) Resurrection.”

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullah # said, “The Messenger of Allah #4 came out to us on the night of Al-Badr and said, “Indeed you will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection, just as you see this (Le. the moon), You will not ‘Tudaamoon (have doubts or be confused or unclear about...) in seeing it.” (Bukhaaree and Muslim) And the following is in the narration of Al-Bukhaaree: “Indeed you will see it with your eyes.” It has been related that they will make prostration to Allah #8. Abu Moosa + related that the Messenger of Allah #¢ said, “When Allah gathers the creation on the Day of Resurrection, permission will be made to the nation of Muhammad to make prostration. Then they will make a long prostration to Him. Then it will be said, ‘Raise your heads...” (fon Manjaht)

as if they (their backbones) are like the horns of cows (i.e. they will not be able to bend or prostrate).” Al-Bazzaar related this narration. There is another chain that attests to this one. And it is mentioned in the hadith of the horn: “Indeed Allah will call His slaves on the Day of Resurrection, saying, ‘Indeed I paid attention to you from the time I created you until this day of yours, seeing your deeds and hearing your sayings, so pay attention to Me. Indeed, it is only your deeds and your scrolls that are read upon you. So whosoever finds good then let him praise Allah; and whosoever finds other than that then Jet him blame no one save himself,”

Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah % related that he bought a riding camel and then went to ‘Abdullah ibn Unais #, to listen to the Ahaadecth he would convey from the Prophet #%. He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah #8 say, ‘People ~ or he said slaves — will be raised on the Day of Resurrection, naked, uncircumcised, and Buhman.' We said, ‘And what is Buhman?’ He 28 said, “They will have nothing with them. Then He will call them with a voice, which those who are far will hear just as those who are near will hear: Tam the King, T am Ad-Dayyaan. No one from the people of the Hellfire should enter the Hellfire while he has a right upon one of the inhabitants of Paradise until 1 pay it to him from him — (for) even the slap.’ We said (to the Prophet #2), ‘How (will we pay) when we will indeed go to Allah, Buhman (without anything).’ He #& said, ‘With good deeds and bad deeds.” (Ahmad)

The following is a part of a long Qudsee hadith that is related by Abu Dharr :: “O My slaves, indeed, they are only your deeds that I enumerate for you. So whosoever finds good then let him praise Allah. And whosoever finds other than that, then let him blame no one save himself.” (Muslim)

And Allah #¢ said: 4A Oi eH Gu Gk sl EY OS 3 Op “Indeed in that (there) is @ sure lesson for those who fear 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’! Allah % then mentioned what He ## prepared for the wretched ones and what He # promised for the happy ones:

“(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-Rooh (Jibreel (Gabriel) or another angel) and the angels will stand forth in rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) allows, ard he will speak what is right’

It is established in As-sahih (Al-Bukiaaree) that none will speak at that

time except for the Messengers. Al-Bukhaaree dedicated a chapter to

that, in his sahih, in “The Book Of tawhid.”

The Speech Of The Lord 3 With The Messengers On The Day Of Resurrection

None will speak on that day except for the Messengers. AlBukhaaree dedicated a chapter to this issue, in his sahih, in “The Book Of tawhid.” He then related in that chapter the complete hadith of Anas 4 about the intercession, and we will get to it (Insha Alfah). And the hadith: “ As for every single one from you, His Lord will speak to him; there is no interpreter between Allah and him.” And we will also relate the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar 4s regarding AnNajwa. We will mention other Ahaadeeth as well that have been narrated and that pertain to the subject matter at hand. And we seek help from Allah #g. Allah 4 said:

“On the Day when Allah will gather the Messengers together and say to them: “What was the response you received (from men to your teaching)?” They will say: “We have no knowledge, verily, only You are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (or unseen, etc.)

“Then surely, We shall question those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and verily, We shall question the Messengers. Then surely, We shall narrate unto them (their whole story) with knowledge, and indeed We were not absent. And the weighing on that Day (Day of Resurrection) will be the true (weighing). So as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise). And as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose their ownselves (by entering Hell) because they denied and rejected Our AAyaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc,).7
