“Faith in the Last Day is to believe that mankind will be resurrected and recompensed for their deeds.
It is to believe in everything that has come to us in the Book and the Sunnah concerning the description of that Day.
Allah has vividly described that Day such as the following verse:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّڪُمۡۚ إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىۡءٌ عَظِيمٌ۬ – يَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ ڪُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ ڪُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ۬
“O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgment) is a terrible thing. The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state. Yet they will not be drunk but severe will be the Torment of Allah.” [Soorah al-Hajj (22): 1-2]
There are numerous descriptions of the Last Day in the Quran and the Sunnah that testify to the horror and terrible nature of this Day.
Faith in the Last Day is not limited to believing in the Day that will be established after resurrection, as Shaikhul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) writes in Aqeedah al-Wastiyyah, “Faith in the Last Day includes believing in everything that the Messenger has informed us about that will happen after death.”
The first stage after death is the fitnah of the grave. The people will face trial or will be tested in their graves regardless of whether one is buried in the ground or is thrown in the sea or is eaten by a lion or (his ashes are) dispersed in the wind. He will face this fitnah and he will be asked about three matters;
a) Who is your Lord?
b) What is your Religion?
c) Who is your Prophet?
A believer will reply, ‘My Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam and my Prophet is Muhammad .’ Then a caller will call from the heavens thatmyslave has spoken the truth. His gravewill then bewidened for him as far as his eyes can see. It will be furnished with furnishings from Paradise. A door will be opened into Paradise through which will come its fragrance and blessings. This condition is without doubt more complete than his condition in the world.
This document discusses life after death (Al-Akhirah) in 3 parts: death, the hereafter, and scenes of the hereafter. It defines death as the separation of the soul from the body and defines Al-Akhirah as life after death beginning with resurrection. It explains that the hereafter is necessary for God to be just. Scenes of the hereafter include resurrection, judgment where deeds are weighed, and recompense - either reward in paradise for obedience or punishment in hell for sins and wrongdoings. The document encourages preparing good deeds for the next life.
1) On the Day of Judgement, the book of deeds containing all of one's actions will be opened and one will remember everything they have done.
2) People will be judged based on whether their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, and they will receive their book in their right or left hand accordingly.
3) Sending salawat (blessings) upon Prophet Muhammad and his family is considered the most weighty deed that can help increase the measure of one's good deeds and make them heavier on the scale.
Barzakh refers to the intermediate state between death and the Day of Judgment. The document discusses what happens in Barzakh, including that souls temporarily leave the body during sleep and return upon waking. In Barzakh, some souls reside in paradise, some in hell, and others sleep until the Day of Judgment. The document also describes punishments in the grave, life for souls in Barzakh, and how Imam Ali could see believers seated in groups in Wadi as Salaam graveyard.
The document provides a summary of rational proofs for believing in Allah as the creator of all things. It discusses 3 main points:
1. Nothingness cannot create anything - all things must have a creator who is the Existent, which points to Allah.
2. Contemplating the intricate design and order in creation leads to understanding characteristics of the creator like wisdom, knowledge, power, which are attributes of Allah.
3. For anything to be given or created, the creator must possess the ability or attribute to do so. Nature cannot be the creator as it possesses no attributes like knowledge, wisdom or will. This refutes claims of naturalism or that nature created itself.
The document provides a summary of rational proofs for believing in Allah as the creator. It discusses 3 main points:
1. Nothingness cannot create anything - the complex order and design in the universe points to an intelligent creator.
2. Contemplating creation leads to understanding characteristics of the creator, such as wisdom, knowledge, awareness. Nature itself has no attributes to create.
3. One who lacks attributes cannot endow them in others. Nature lacks attributes like mind, knowledge, and will, so could not have created humans with such attributes.
The document seeks to rationally justify belief in a supreme creator through examining the natural world and refuting the idea that nature itself is the creator.
The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.

The document discusses how the Prophet Muhammad honored Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Quran by dedicating a chapter to her. It notes that no such honor is given to Mary in the Bible. It argues that if Muhammad was the author of the Quran, he likely would have honored his own mother or family members instead of Mary. However, the Quran was a divine revelation from God, not authored by Muhammad, so he had no choice in what was revealed. Honoring Mary shows the Quran is from God, not Muhammad.
Ar raheeq al-makhtum (the seald nectar)Arab Muslim

This document summarizes a debate between Christians and Muslims on television in South Africa about their respective religions. It notes that the Muslims on the panel were articulating what the Quran commands them to say about Jesus, including that he was a mighty messenger of God, performed miracles, and that no Muslim can be Muslim without believing in him. The document expresses surprise that the Muslims were so accommodating of Christianity given their small minority status in South Africa. It emphasizes that the Quran honors Jesus and Mary greatly, with a whole chapter named after Mary, and says this indicates the divine nature of the Quranic message rather than it being authored by Muhammad.

It also says his companions would have married their daughters to him if he asked, yet he chose widows, refuting claims his marriages were for pleasure.

What happens in the barzakh? (Hereafter, Islamic belief, afterlife)Amina Inloes
According to Islamic belief, the afterlife commences with the barzakh. After death, souls move on to the barzakh, where they experience many things, until the blow of the trumpet and the subsequent arrival of the Day of Judgment. This PowerPoint presentation examines what happens in that time in the barzakh according to Qur'an and hadith (especially from the Shi'i school of thought). Large file size is due to embedded video clips.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.
This document summarizes the Islamic beliefs about what happens after death based on quotes from the Quran and hadith. It describes:
1) How the soul is taken by the Angel of Death at the time of death, even though the dying person can see and speak to the angel in a way the living cannot perceive.
2) How pure souls are greeted by loved ones in heaven and taken before Allah, while impure souls are wrapped in rough cloth and denied heaven.
3) A hadith describing how the soul is returned to the body in the grave for questioning by angels about faith, and the rewards or punishments that follow for believers and non-believers based on their answers.

The day of judgement and the life in the hereafterWaleed Liaqat
The document discusses Islamic beliefs about the Day of Judgement according to the Quran. It covers:
1) Belief in the Day of Judgement is a core Islamic belief mentioned frequently in the Quran.
2) Death leads to a temporary afterlife state called Barzakh until the Day of Judgement when souls and bodies are reunited.
3) Signs of the Day of Judgement's nearness include major signs like the return of Jesus and minor signs already occurring.
4) On the Day of Judgement, souls will be resurrected and judged, some sent to Heaven and others to Hell based on their deeds.
This section discusses the importance of enjoining good and forbidding evil in Islam. It is one of the most important principles in the religion and the main reason why prophets were sent. Whenever this principle is not implemented, misguidance and corruption prevail. Allah obligates Muslims to call others to good, enforce what is right, and prohibit what is wrong. Righteousness is not complete without practicing this principle. When Muslims command virtue and forbid vice, they become friends to one another.

The document discusses Islamic funeral rites and what is recommended for the dying person and those around them. It recommends that those present encourage the dying person to repeat the Shahadah until they pass away. It also encourages Muslims to be present for non-Muslims who are dying to introduce them to Islam, though any acceptance of Islam at that point must be sincere and with certainty before the throes of death begin. The Prophet tried to get his uncle Abu Talib to testify to Allah's oneness on his deathbed, and similarly encouraged his servant, showing the importance of guiding those near death.
The document summarizes the four foundations of shirk according to Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab. The four foundations are: 1) Seeking intercession from other than Allah, 2) Seeking nearness to Allah through other than Allah, 3) Worshiping other than Allah such as angels, prophets, the righteous, stones, trees, sun and moon, 4) Committing shirk continuously rather than just during times of ease as former generations did. The document provides Quranic evidence to support each of the four foundations.

The document discusses Islamic perspectives on sexuality, reproduction, and family systems based on a paper presented by Dr. Zeenath Kausar.
Islam views life as an integrated whole and sees sexuality and reproduction as part of the complete Islamic way of life. Islamic texts provide guidance on these matters. The purpose of human creation in Islam is to serve as Allah's vicegerent on Earth. Any human thought or activity, including those related to sexuality and reproduction, should ultimately fulfill this purpose.
In Islam, sexuality is not seen as merely an animalistic function but rather something to be properly guided. Sexual relations are only permitted within marriage, which is regarded as a sign from Allah and the way of the prophe

En every innovation_is_a_means_of_misguidanceArab Muslim
This document discusses religious innovation (bid'ah) in Islam. It makes three key points:
1) Religious innovation leads people astray and contradicts the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad. Following anything other than the Quran and Sunnah is misguidance.
2) People who practice innovation fall into three categories - those who are ignorant, those who seek material gain, and enemies of Islam who try to divide Muslims.
3) Satan tries to misguide people through innovation and other means. True guidance comes from strictly following the Quran and teachings of the Prophet. Innovation should be avoided.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

4. It is called the Last Day because there is no day after it.
Man either has stages or is nothing.
Allah says, “Has there not been over man a period of time
when he was nothing to be mentioned?” [Soorah al-
Insan (76): 1] (the stage mentioned in this verse is the
first stage of man)
then man became a fetus (which is the second stage of
man) and later he began performing deeds in the world
(which is the third stage of man). Man's state in the
world is more complete than his state of being a fetus.
(after coming into this world) man moves on to the fourth
stage, i.e., the Barzakh (the stage that begins after death
and ends at the establishment of the Hour). His state in
the Barzakh is more complete than his state in the
world.
Man further moves on to the fifth stage, i.e., the Last Day.
His condition at this stge is more complete than all the
previous stages.
Explanation of the above is that man is without doubt
more deficient in his mother's womb than his condition in this world.
Allah says, “Allah has brought you out from the wombs of your
mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight
and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allah).” [Soorah an-Nahl
(16): 78]
- 01
5. Once he is out of his mother's womb, he possesses knowledge,
hearing, sight and actions. Man's condition in this world is not always
serene rather it is peaceful and troubled, it involves hardships and
relief, discrimination and justice, good and evil.
You are now young and strong but one of the two things will occur to
you; death or old age - therefore the life of this world is blemished and
this is why it is called Dunya (Arabic word for world), from the root
word, dana'a (i.e., base, lowly, ignoble) and also Dunuw (i.e.,
imminent, close). The world is thus lowly in comparison to the
Hereafter.
Man's condition in the Barzakh is more perfect than his state in this
world because his condition in the Barzakh is stable. If he is from the
people of good then he is blessed in his grave. His grave is widened as
far as his eyes can see. It is furnished from Paradise and a door into
the Paradise is opened for him. This cannot be achieved in this world.
(the stage of the Hereafter is more complete than all the previous
stages because) Absolute completeness is given to man in the
Hereafter – a complete life that cannot be compared to this worldly
life with regards to any aspect.

HowdowebelieveintheLastDay?
Faith in the Last Day is to believe that mankind will be
resurrected and recompensed for their deeds. It is to believe in
everything that has come to us in the Book and the Sunnah
concerning the description of that Day.
Allah has vividly described that Day such as the following verse, “O
mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the
earthquake of the Hour (of Judgment) is a terrible thing. The Day you
shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every
pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a
drunken state. Yet they will not be drunk but severe will be the
Torment of Allah.” [Soorah al-Hajj (22): 1-2]
There are numerous descriptions of the Last Day in the Quran and
the Sunnah that testify to the horror and terrible nature of this Day.
Faith in the Last Day is not limited to believing in the Day that will be
established after resurrection, as Shaikhul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah
(rahimahullah) writes in Aqeedah al-Wastiyyah,
“Faith in the Last Day includes believing in
everything that the Messenger has informed us
about that will happen after death.”

1.FitnahoftheGrave
The first stage after death is the fitnah of the grave. The people will
face trial or will be tested in their graves regardless of whether one is
buried in the ground or is thrown in the sea or is eaten by a lion or (his
ashes are) dispersed in the wind. He will face this fitnah and he will be
asked about three matters;
a) Who is your Lord?
b) What is your Religion?
c) Who is your Prophet?
A believerwill reply, 'My Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam and
my Prophet is Muhammad .' Then a caller will call from the
heavens that my slave has spoken the truth.
His grave will then be widened for him as far as his eyes can see.
It will be furnished with furnishings from Paradise. A door will
be opened into Paradise through which will come its fragrance
and blessings. This condition is without doubt more complete
than his condition in the world.
A disbeliever or hypocrite will say upon being asked
about his Lord, Religion and Prophet, 'Oh, Oh, I don't know. I
heard the people say something and I said it.’
Reflect upon what, 'Oh, Oh,' means. It indicates that the slave
recollects something, tries to recall it but is unable to remember.
- 04
8. One's inability to recall is more distressing than being completely
unaware. If you are asked about something and you are unaware of it,
you will say, 'I don't know.' This is without doubt deficiency but it
does not cause grief - but if you are asked about something and you
knew it but you are incapable of recalling it - this causes grief.
So the disbeliever will say, 'Oh, Oh.' - as if he remembers something
“I don't know. I heard the people say something and I said it."
The disbeliever will then be hit with a large iron hammer
whereupon he will let out a scream the sound of which will be
heard by everything except the jinn and mankind – because if
they were to hear it, they would be struck dumb. It is narrated
that if all the people of a city like Mina were to gather together to
carry this hammer, they would not be able to.
It is obligatory to believe in the Fitnah of the grave because believing
in it is part of faith in the Last Day.
Question:How can belief in the fitnah of the grave be part
of faith in the Last Day whereas the fitnah of the grave occurs
in this world?
Reply: When a man dies, his day of Judgment has been
established (and thus fitnah of the grave is part of faith in the
Last Day).

2.PunishmentoftheGrave
anditsBlessings
Punishment of the grave and its blessings are included in faith in the
Last Day. The proof is the Saying of Allah, “Allah rewards the pious.
Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state
saying (to them), 'Salamun Alaikum enter you Paradise because of
(the good) which you used to do (in the world)." [(16): 31-32]
The words that are proof in this verse are, "Those whose lives the
angels take while they are in a pious state saying (to them), 'Salamun
Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise because of (the good)
which you used to do (in the world)."
They (the pious) will not be entering Paradise - which is as wide as the
heavens and the earth – rather they will enter the grave in which is a
blessing from Paradise. Allah also says, “Then why do you not
(intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat? And
you at the moment are looking on. But We (i.e. Our angels who take
the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not. Then why do
you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense
(punishment, etc.) bring back the soul (to its body) if you are truthful?
Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarraboon (those brought
near to Allah), (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of
delights (Paradise).” [Soorah al-Waqi'ah (56): 83-89]
This is when the soul reaches the throat. The verse mention the
blessings of the grave rather man is given the glad-tiding of the
- 06
10. blessings before his soul departs. It is said to his soul, “Come out, O
you soul al-Mutma'innah. Come out to the forgiveness and Pleasure
of your Lord." So the soul is pleased and comes out swiftly.
As for the proof from the Sunnah, the Prophet has mentioned in
numerous ahadeeth that man is blessed in his grave, and we have
already mentioned some of them.
The punishment of the grave is also proven from the Book and the
Sunnah. Allah says about the people of Fir'awn, “The Fire; they are
exposed to it, morning and afternoon.” This takes place before the
establishment of the Hour.
Allah further mentions in continuation of the verse, “and on the Day
when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels),
"Cause Fir'aun's people to enter the severest torment!" [Soorah al-
Ghafir (40): 46]
Allah also says, “if you could but see when the Dhalimoon (polytheists
and wrongdoers, etc.) are in the agonies of death while the angels are
stretching forth their hands (saying): "Deliver your souls!” [Soorah al-
An'am (6): 93]
These (souls of the) dhalimun (disbelievers, polytheist) will defer
from coming out because they will be given the tidings of
punishment - we seek Allah's refuge from it. The souls hesitate and
do not want to come out of the body in order to escape from what
they are promised.
"Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the
torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against
Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayaat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) with disrespect!"
[Soorah al-An'am (6): 93]
- 07
11. ﺃﻋﻮﺫﺑﺎﷲﻣﻦﻋﺬابﺟﻬﻨﻢﻭﻣﻦﻋﺬاباﻟﻘﺒﺮ
The words that are the proof in this verse are; “This day you shall be
recompensed.”
'this (day)' in this verse means the present (day) like in the Saying of
Allah, “This Day I have completed your religion for you."
Accordingly, 'this day' is, 'the day of death' for the dhalimoon.
Allah says, “But if he (the dying person) be of the deniers (of the
Resurrection), the erring, then for him is entertainment with boiling
water.” [Soorah al-Waqi'ah (56): 92-94]
We say in the Salaat (prayers),
“We seek Allah's refuge from the torment of Hell and from the
torment of the grave.”
So, the torment of the grave is proven from the Qur'an and the
Sunnah and believing in it is from faith in the Last Day.
IstheTormentinthegraveforthebodyorthesoul?
The torment in the grave is primarily for the soul but perhaps, it
reaches the body too. However, it does not mean that the body is not
affected by it at all. The body does certainly suffer from the torment
or enjoy the blessing although it may not be visible to us.
The torment in the grave is the opposite of the torment or blessing in
the world. The torment or blessing in the world is upon the body and
it also affects the soul while in the Barzakh the blessings or the
torment is upon the soul and it also affects the body.
- 08
12. Question: How can you say that the grave closes upon the
disbeliever until his ribs interlock into each other whereas if
we were to open the grave we would find that neither the
grave has changed nor is the body affected?
Reply: The torment of the grave is primarily on the soul and
is not something which shows upon the body. If it was
obvious upon the body then it would not have been from
faith in the Ghayb (unseen) and it would not reap any
benefits. But faith in the torment of the grave is from the
issues of the Ghayb which are related to the soul.
A man could see in his dream that he is standing, leaving and
returning, he is hitting and he is hit despite the fact that he
had been asleep in his bed all the while. Man could see whilst
he is asleep in his bed that he traveled for Umrah, he
performed the Tawaaf and Sa'ee, he shaved his head or cut
short his hair, and then returned back to his country – and all
the while his body is in his bed without any movement. So,
the conditions of the soul are not like the conditions of the
body.

3.Resurrection
Allah, the Exalted, will raise the bodies on the Day of Judgment
barefooted, naked and uncircumcised.
Barefooted: without any sandals or shoes, i.e., they will have no
covering for the foot.
Naked: without clothes
Uncircumcised: without circumcision
Some ahadeeth also mention, 'Buhman' – i.e., without any wealth.
Everyone will posses his deeds only.
Resurrection (on the Day of Judgment) means reformation and does
not mean a new creation as Allah says, “Who will give life to these
bones when they have rotted away and became dust? Say, He will
give life to them Who created them for the first time!” [Soorah Ya-Sin
(36): 79]
If it was a new creation, then the body which committed evil deeds in
this world would be safe from the torment while the new body would
be tormented. This is against justice. Texts (of the religion) and
intellect testify that resurrection will not be in a new body but it will
be returning (of the soul to the body).
- 10
14. Question: How will the resurrection take place? Man might
be dead, (his body) might be eaten by a lion and as such his
flesh turns into blood flowing in the animal, etc.
Reply: Allah – the One, Who has power over everything – the
One, Who says to the thing 'be' and it is
He will order these bodies which have been dispersed, eaten
or scattered in the wind - to return and they will return. This
belief is based upon the previously mentioned principle,
'It is obligatory upon man to accept all news concerning the
Ghayb (without asking how or why).’
After having heard the words of Allah's Messenger that the people
will be resurrected barefooted, naked and uncircumcised, Aaisha
(radhi Allahu anha) asked, 'Will the men and women be looking at
each other?' The Prophet replied, 'The issue will be far more
serious than they (would care to) look at each other.'
So, on that day no one will look at another because Allah says, “That
Day man shall flee from his brother and from his mother and his
father and from his wife and his children. Everyman - that Day - will
have enough to make him careless of others.” [Soorah Abasa (80): 34
37] - to the extent that man will even forget his offspring and
relatives, “When the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship
among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.” [Soorah al-
Mu'minoon (23): 101]

4.Closenessofthesun
tothecreation
From our faith in the Last Day is that we believe that the sun will
be brought close to the creation
- as close as a 'meel.'
‘Meel' here could mean the stick which is used to apply kohl in the
eyes or it could mean the distance of one mile – in either of these
situations - the sun will be close to people’s heads.
Question: Today we know that if the sun was even a hand-
span closer to us than it is - it would burn the earth. So how is
it possible that the sun will be as close as a 'meel' to the
creation on the Day of Judgment?
Reply: It is the duty of the Mu'min (the believer) – and our
beliefs must be based upon this principle,
"to accept the information concerning the issues of the
Ghayb without asking how and why?"
The issues of ghayb are beyond your imagination and
therefore it is obligatory upon you to accept and say, 'We
believe and testify that the sun will be brought close to the
creation on the day of Judgment as close as a meel.' Any
further questioning is a Bidah (innovation) and therefore
- 12
16. when Imam Malik (rahimahullah) was asked about Istiwa
(Rising) of Allah (upon the throne) – how does he Istawa? He
replied, "Questioning about it is Bidah."
Similarly questioning about any issue of the unseen is an
innovation. One's attitude concerning them should be to
accept and submit.
Another reply is that bodies on that Day will not be resurrected
in their deficient state as in this world - incapable of bearing
(the heat). Bodies will be resurrected in a complete form and
therefore the people will stand on the Day of Judgment for a
day whose length will be fifty thousand years without food
and drink - which is not possible in this world.
So the sun will be brought close and bodies will be given the
ability to bear its closeness – and the standing for fifty
thousand years without food and drink testifies to this.
(another example is that) One of the people of Paradise will
look into his kingdom that will be spread as far as thousand
years and he will be able to see its farthest point as he sees its
closest point which is also not possible in this world.
So, the bodies on the Day of Judgment are different from the
bodies in this world.

5.Accountingthepeople
fortheirdeeds
Allah has called the Last Day, 'Yawm al-Hisaab' - 'The Day of Account'
because it is the Day when mankind will be held accountable for their
deeds but is this account like the negotiation by money between two
traders?
No. For the believer, the accounting will be with kindness, blessing
and mercy from Allah. Allah will bring the believer close and conceal
him and will make him confess his sins. Allah will say, "You
committed this on this day...” until the believer will admit and confess
(his sins). Allah will say to him, “I concealed your sins for you in the
world and I forgive you today.”
None of us is free from sins - hidden sins are (of two kinds) those that
are related to the heart and (the other are those) outward sins that are
related to the bodies but people do not see it. Perhaps a man looks at
something with a forbidden intention while you might think that he
has a permissible intention – you don't know and therefore, Allah
says, "Allah knows the fraud of the eyes and all that the breasts
conceal." [Soorah Ghafir (40): 19]
The fraud of the eyes is a matter concerning one's feeling but no one
knows it - who can know that this eye is looking with the intention of
a permissible act?
“and all that the breasts conceal." This is hidden. Allah says, 'I covered
them for you in the world and I will forgive them for you this day.’
- 14
18. The disbelievers will not be held accountable in this (kind) way. They
will be made to confess and they will be told, 'you committed this and
this.' If they deny, their tongues, hands and legs will testify to their
(evil) deeds - even their skin will testify against them, “And they will
say to their skins, ‘Why do you testify against us?’”
They (the body parts) will say, "Allah has caused us to speak as He
causes all things to speak, and He created you the first time and to
Him you are made to return. You have not been hiding against
yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skins testify against
you but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were
doing. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord,
has brought you to destruction, and you have become (this Day) of
those utterly lost!” Then, (even) if they have patience - the Fire will be
a home for them. (even) if they beg to be excused - they are not of
those who will ever be excused." [Soorah Fussilat (41): 21-24]
The disbelievers will confess their deeds and they will be made to
face humiliation due to their deeds, "and the witnesses will say,
"These are the ones who lied against their Lord!" No doubt! the curse
of Allah is on the Dhalimoon (polytheists, wrong-doers, oppressors,
etc.)." [Soorah Hud (11): 18] So look at the difference between the
account of the believer and the disbeliever.
Question: Will there be anyone who will escape the account?
Reply: Yes, a group will escape the account, Allah's Messenger said
that he was shown his nation and seventy thousand of them are those
who will enter Paradise without being brought to account. “They are
the ones who do not seek ruqya, do not believe in bad omens and do
not use branding; they put their trust in their Lord...” [Saheeh al-
Bukharee]

6.TheBalance
"The weighing on that day (of Resurrection) will be the true
(weighing)." [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 8]
"We shall set up balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection."
[Soorah al-Anbiya (21): 47]
The weighing of deeds on the Day of Judgment will take place with a
scale with two pans, on one pan will be placed the good deeds and the
evil deeds on the other.
From the apparent meaning of the texts, we understand that actions
will be weighed. "So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an
atom shall see it. Whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom
shall see it." [Soorah az-Zalzalah (99): 7-8]
The Messenger of Allah said, "Two words that are beloved to Allah,
are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale,
ﺳﺒﺤﺎناﷲ٬ﻭﺑﺤﻤﭼﺪﻩﺳﺒﺤﺎناﷲاﻟﻌﻈﻴﻢ
‘SubhanAllahi wa-biHamdihi SubhanAllahil-Adheem.' [Saheeh al-
Bukharee, Chapter The Virtue of Praising Allah] pg.35
So, this scale will be setup for weighing the deeds of creation.
- 16
20. Question: How will the deeds be weighted since they are
attributes and actions of the doers?
Replyto this question is the previously mentioned principle,
“We are obliged to accept and submit and there is no need to
ask how or why.”
However the scholars have said in reply to this question that
the actions will have bodies that will be placed in the pans.
Actions will either be heavy or light. The scholars gave the
instance of what is authentically known from the hadeeth
reported by Imam Muslim from Abu Sa'eed that the
Messenger of Allah said, “Death will be brought like horned
ram and will be made to stand between Paradise and Hell.” It
will be said, “O people of Paradise, do you know what this is?”
They will raise their heads, look and say, “Yes, this is death.”
It will be said, “O people of Hell, do you know what this
is?”
They will raise their heads, look and say, “Yes, this is
death.”
Then the command will be given for death to be slaughtered.
Then it will be said, “O people of Paradise, it is eternal, there is
no death. O people of Hell, it is eternal, there is no death...”
We all know that death is an attribute but Allah will give it a
shape of itself and similarly the actions (will also be given a
body).
- 17
21. Question:Is there one scale or many?
Reply: The scholars are divided into two groups with regards
to this issue because there are texts which mention one scale
for each person and there are texts which mention one scale
for all, like
"We shall set up balances of justice..."
[Soorah al-Anbiya (21): 47]
"So as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be
heavy.” [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 8]
and in the saying of Allah's Messenger , "heavy on the
scale." [Saheeh al-Bukharee]
Some of the scholars say that the scale is one but it is a plural
form considering that which will be weighed in it or
considering the plurality of nations - one scale in which will
be weighed the actions of Prophet Muhammad’s nation
and in another will be weighed the actions of Prophet
Moosa's � nation and the other for the actions of Prophet
Eesa's �nation.
Those scholars who are of the opinion that the scale is of
different types say that Allah will set a separate balance for
every nation or (He will set different balances) for obligatory
action and (a different balance for) recommended action.
Allah knows best but what appears is that the scale is one but
it is (mentioned) in plural form considering that which will be
weighed in it.

7.DistributionoftheBooks
Books of deeds will be given to the people and they will differ
regarding their manner of receiving them. Some will receive their
books with their right hand while the others will receive it with their
left hand. Allah pointed out this in Soorah al-Haqqah,
“As for him (the believer) who will be given his record in his right
hand will say (being glad and pleased with it), "Take, read my
Record! Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!" So he
shall be in a life, well-pleasing. In a lofty Paradise, the fruits in
bunches whereof will be low and near at hand. Eat and drink at
ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!
But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand will be
distressed and he will say, "I wish that I had not been given my
Record! And that I had never known how my Account is?"
[Soorah al-Haqqah (69): 19]
In this book will be recorded the deeds of mankind as Allah
says, "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, Kiraman (honorable)
Katibeen (writing down your deeds)." [Soorah al-Infitar (82): 9-11]
and it will be said to man, "Read your book. You yourself are sufficient
as a reckoner against yourself this Day." [Soorah al-Isra (17): 14]
- 19
23. Some scholars said, (this verse means), "Allah did justice to you by
making you a sufficient reckoner against yourself."
Question: It is obligatory upon us to believe that books will
be distributed on the Day of Judgment from the right and
from the left but in Soorah al-Inshiqaaq, Allah says,
"Whosoever is given his Record behind his back." [Soorah al-
Inshiqaq (84): 10]
How do we reconcile between the Saying of Allah, "He, who
will be given his Record in his left hand." [Soorah al-Haqqah
(84): 25] and, "Whosoever is given his Record behind his
back." [Soorah al-Inshiqaq (84): 10]
Reply:The disbeliever will take his record by his left hand but
his left hand will be dislocated behind his back. This is a
recompense for his similar act (of putting the Book of Allah
behind his back). So, just like he put the Book of Allah behind
his back, he will be given his book (of deeds) on the Day of
Judgment from behind his back – a recompense equivalent
to his act!

8.al-Hawdh(theCistern)
The Hawdh of Prophet Muhammad is a vast cistern – may
Allah make us amongst those who drink from it. Its width and
length are equivalent to a month (journey). The number and
beauty of its vessels are like the stars of the sky. Its water is
whiter than milk, sweeter than honey and (its fragrance is) better
than the fragrance of musk.
He, who drinks from this Hawdh will never ever feel thirsty. The
water of the Hawdh extends from al-Kawthar which is a river given to
the Prophet in Paradise from where two channels flow into the
Hawdh. The Hawdh will always remain full and the believers will
come to it and drink from it. This Hawdh will be at the place of
gathering on the Day of Judgment when the people will be grieved
and trouble due to heat and fatigue. So, they will drink from it and
never ever feel thirsty.

9.Shafa'ah
Shafa'ah is of two types:
The first type is the Shafa'ah that is exclusive for Prophet
Muhammad
The second type of Shafa'ah is general for all the prophets,
siddiqeen, martyrs and righteous
Shafa'ah that is exclusive to Allah's Messenger is al-Shafa'ah al-
Udhma. It will be for the account to begin. On the Day of Judgment,
the people will be overtaken by suffering and grief because they will
be standing for fifty thousand years while the sun will be over their
heads. Some of them will be surrounded by their sweat.
People will thus look for someone to intercede with Allah on their
behalf and rescue them from their suffering. They will go to Adam
, who is the father of mankind. They will ask him to intercede but
Adam will refuse because he had disobeyed Allah by eating from
the forbidden tree.

Question: Adam's sin of eating from the forbidden tree
is a sin which he repented for and then Allah chose him and
gave him guidance. "Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he
went astray. Then his Lord chose him and turned to him with
forgiveness and gave him guidance." [Soorah Ta-Ha (20):
121-122] (So, why will Adam refuse to intercede?)
Reply: Yes. Allah did say that after Adam committed the sin
and sought forgiveness, "Then his Lord chose him" and made
him from among the guided. But Adam will refuse to
intercede giving the excuse of eating from the tree because
the position of intercession is a great position which requires
that the intercessor be pure/upright with regards to
everything since the intercessor seeks intercession on behalf
of others. So if he is himself guilty, how can he be an
intercessor?
The people will thus go to Nuh and ask him to intercede but he will
refuse because he had once asked for something which he had no
knowledge of. He asked Allah to save his disbelieving son from
drowning, "Nuh called upon his Lord and said, "O my Lord! Verily, my
son is of my family! Certainly, Your Promise is true, and You are the
Most Just of the judges."
He (Allah) said, "O Nuh! Surely, he is not of your family. Verily, his
work is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which you have no
knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant." [Soorah
Hud (11): 45-46] So, Nuh will refuse to intercede.

The people will then come to the Khaleel of Allah, Ibraheem , who
too will refuse to intercede because he had lied thrice – although,
those were not lies in reality. Those were apparently the truth but the
intent was contrary to the apparent and so they were likened to
falsehood in some way. It is due to Ibraheem's perfect etiquette
towards Allah that he will refuse to intercede.
The people will come to Moosa , who will also refuse to intercede
because he killed a man without being commanded to do so.
The man referred to was killed unrightfully. Moosa
came out and saw two men fighting; one was from his
followers Bani Israeel and the other was from his enemy
Aqbat. Moosa's follower called for help over the enemy.
Moosa was a strong man and so the man died when
Moosa pushed him. As such Moosa killed him before
being ordered to do so and thus Moosa will refuse to
intercede.
The people will then come to Eesa who will not confess any sin
rather he will acknowledge the position of Allah's Messenger and
say, “Go to Muhammad - Allah has forgiven all his past and future
sins.” So they will come to the Prophet and ask him to intercede.
The Prophet will intercede with Allah and then Allah will descend
to judge between His slaves. This intercession is called al-Shafa'ah al-
Udhma (the Great Intercession). (The right to intercede for al
Shafa'ah al-Udhma) is al-Maqaam al-Mahmood mentioned in the
Saying of Allah, "It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqaman
Mahmooda." [Soorah al-Isra (17): 79]
- 24
28. So Allah's Messenger will intercede and Allah will descend to judge
between his slaves and relieve them from this (long) standing.
The Shafa'ah that are exclusive to the Prophet also include
interceding for the people of paradise to enter Paradise. After having
passed over as-Siraat (the bridge), the people of Paradise will reach
the door of Jannah but they will find it locked. The Prophet will
intercede with Allah to open the door of Paradise for them as Allah
mentioned, "those who kept their duty to their Lord will be led to
Paradise in groups till when they reach it and its gates will be
opened." [Soorah az-Zumar (39): 73]
Allah did not say, 'until when they reach it, the gates thereof will be
opened' as He said about the people of Fire, "those who disbelieved
will be driven to Hell in groups, till when they reach it, the gates
thereof will be opened." [Soorah az-Zumar (39): 71]
Allah said about the people of Paradise, "when they reach it, and its
gates will be opened" because the gates will not be opened until after
the intercession.
The common Shafa'ah which is for the Prophets, Siddiqeen, martyrs
and the righteous will be of two kinds:
First: Shafa'ah for the believers to be taken out from the Fire.
Second: Shafa'ah for the believers who deserve the Fire – to be
saved from entering the Fire.
- 25
29. TheConditionsofShafa'ahare three;
i) The Pleasure of Allah with the intercessor
ii) The Pleasure of Allah with the one, on behalf of whom
the intercession is requested
iii) The Permission of Allah
The proof are the following verses,
"There are many angels in the heavens whose intercession will avail
nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and
pleases." [Soorah an-Najm (53): 26]
"they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased."
[Soorah al-Anbiya (21): 28]
"Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?"
[Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 255]
"On that day no intercession shall avail except the one for whom the
Most Beneficent has given permission." [Soorah Ta-Ha (20): 109]
This Shafa'ah will not benefit the disbelievers because Allah is not
pleased with them. It is a condition of Shafa'ah that Allah is pleased
with the one, on behalf of whom the Shafa'ah is requested. Therefore
the idols of the mushrikeen whom the mushrikeen cling to and say,
'they are our intercessors with Allah,' will not benefit them and will
not intercede for them rather they will increase their grief because
Allah said, "Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are
worshipping now besides Allah are fuel for Hell!" [Soorah al-Anbiya
(21): 98] So the idols' being the fuel of Fire will increase the sorrow of
the disbelievers.

10.TheSiraat
The Siraat is a Bridge that extends above the Fire. The people will
pass over the bridge according to their deeds; some will pass like the
twinkling of an eye, some will pass like lightning and some will pass
like wind. All those who were quick in accepting the truth and
following it will quickly pass through the bridge and whosoever was
sluggish to say the truth and act upon it will be sluggish on the
bridge.
Only the people of Paradise will pass over this bridge while the
disbelievers will not pass over it because they are from the people of
Fire – and we seek Allah's refuge – They will come to the Fire
suffering from thirst.

11.EntranceintoParadiseorHell
This is the final stage when the people of Paradise will enter Paradise
and the people of Hell will enter the Fire.
Question:Are Paradise and Hell present today?
Reply: Yes, Paradise and Hell are present today as is
proven in the Book and the Sunnah. Allah says
concerning the Fire, "Fear the Fire which is prepared for
the disbelievers." [Soorah aali-Imran (3): 131]
'prepared' means readiness.
Allah says about Paradise, "March forth in the way (which
leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as
wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for the
pious." [Soorah aali-Imran (3): 133]
(here again) prepared means readiness.
As for proof from the Sunnah, it is established in the two
Saheehs and in other (books of Hadeeth) in the story of the
eclipse of the sun that the Messenger stood for Salaat, and
Paradise and Hell were shown to him and he witnessed
Paradise until he intended to reach a bunch of grapes from it
but he did not take it. He saw Fire and saw Amar ibn Luhay
al-Khuza'ee dragging his intestines that were hanging from
his stomach. We seek Refuge with Allah from the Fire of Hell.

32. He was tormented because he was the first man who
introduced Shirk amongst the Arabs. As a result, he was
given a share of punishment for what he introduced and that
was followed after him.
He also saw a woman being tormented in the Fire because
of a cat that was under her care and it died because she did
not feed it, nor let it out to eat from the vermin of the earth....
[See, Saheeh al-Bukharee]
This proves that Paradise and Hell are present now.
Question:Are Paradise and Hell eternal?
Reply: Paradise and Hell are eternal and they will remain
forever. The proof concerning Paradise in the Qur'an is the
Saying of Allah, "Verily, those who believe and do righteous
good deeds, they are the best of creatures. Their reward with
their Lord is 'Adn Paradise, underneath which rivers flow,
they will abide therein forever, Allah is Well-Pleased with
them, and they with Him." [Soorah al-Bayyinah (98): 7-8]
Allah mentioned the eternity of Hell in 3 verses of the Qur'an,
In Soorah an-Nisa, "Verily, those who disbelieve and did
wrong, Allah will not forgive them nor will He guide them to
any way. Except the way of Hell to dwell therein forever and
this is ever easy for Allah." [Soorah an-Nisa (4): 168-169]
In Soorah al-Ahzab, "Verily, Allah has cursed the disbelievers
and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell). Wherein
they will abide forever and they will find neither a protector
nor a helper." [Soorah al-Ahzab (33): 64-65]
- 29
33. In Soorah al-Jinn, "Whosoever disobeys Allah and His
Messenger then verily for him is the Fire of Hell, he shall
dwell therein forever." [Soorah al-Jinn (72): 23]
It is thus proven by the clear verses of the Qur'an that the
saying that Fire will be destroyed is a very weak saying which
cannot be relied upon because it is not possible to rely upon a
saying which is contrary to what the Qur'an has clearly
explained. Rather it is not permitted for us to rely upon such
a saying.
