And that the whole story of Last Judgment, which looks such a horrifying experience - 4

[Guest guest]

But Ye - Ye Were Not Aware!

On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established,

The transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour:

Thus were they used to being deluded!

But those endued with knowledge and faith will say:

" Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of

Resurrection,

And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware! "

So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors,

Nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance.)

Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'an every kind of

Parable:

But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say,

" Ye do nothing but talk vanities. "

Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.

So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true:

Nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty

of faith.

 

surah 30:55-60 Al Rum (The Romans)

(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.)

 

 

" But the Muslims do not want to talk about Resurrection (Al Qadr: The

Night of Power) at all because they want to frighten people with the

Doomsday (Al Qariah: Day of Noise and Clamor). They don't want to

talk about the Resurrection Time which is going to come, which is the

intermediary time, because they want to use the time which will

frighten people by saying that: 'Now your Doomsday is coming! Now

your Doomsday is coming!' "

" Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very easy for

you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last

Judgment —which looks such a horrifying experience— has been made

very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not disturb

you. "

After the annihilation of Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj Eesa (A.S.) will live

on and then pass away. He will be buried alongside Rasulullah

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). A man named Jahjaah from the Qahtaan

tribe of Yemen will then be the Khalifa and he will rule with great

justice and piety. With the passing of time other Rulers will follow

and slowly once again, corruption and decadence will set in. The

baseless customs of Kufr and ignorance will pervade the Earth.

According to a narration in Bukhari and Muslim, at this time one

place in the east and another in the west will cave in and among

those who die as a result of this will be those who refute the

concept of Taqdeer.

 

THE SMOKE

 

According to a narration appearing in Muslim Shareef, Abu Dawood,

etc. a thick fog or smoke will envelope the skies. This smoke will

last for forty days and it will cause the Mu'mineen to develop colds

while the effect of it upon the Kuffar will be so severe that they

will lapse into unconsciousness. Thereafter the skies will clear up.

 

THE NIGHT OF THREE NIGHTS

Not very long after the clearance of the smoke, a night will suddenly

become unusually long. This incident will occur in the month of Zil

Hajj some time after Eidul Adha, and cause great restlessness among

the people. Travelers will become frustrated while children and

adults will be overtaken by extreme anxiety and they will resort to

Taubah. Even the animals will become restless. After a length of

three nights this night will finally come to an end.

 

RISING OF THE SUN IN THE WEST

 

When the lengthy night ends, the sun will rise, but contrary to its

normal manner of rising in the East. On this day the sun will rise

from the West and its rays will be extremely dull. When it reaches

the meridian it will return and set in the West normally. On seeing

this strange event many Kuffar will affirm their faith in the Oneness

of Allah while many sinful Muslims will repent for their sins.

However at this time neither will the Imaam of the Kuffar nor the

repentance of the sinful Mu'mineen be accepted by Allah.

 

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) said: " Whoever repents unto Allah, BEFORE the sun rises

from the West will surely have his repentance accepted by Allah " .

(Muslim)

 

THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH

 

The next day while the unusual event of the rising of the sun from

the West will still be fresh in the minds and upon the tongues of the

people, an earthquake will grip Mount Safaa in Makkah, causing a

split in the ground. A strange looking animal will emerge from this

crack in the ground. " And when our judgment overtakes them, we will

bring out from the earth a beast that shall speak to them... "

(Qur'aan)

 

According to a hadeeth narrated by Hadhrat Huzaifah (R.A.) Rasulullah

(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has mentioned the emergence of the beast

from the ground as one of the final signs of Qiyamah.

This animal will be most strange and fascinating in its appearance

and action. It will speak to the people. It will not be born as other

creation is born, but will appear miraculously from the ground.

According to a Hadeeth recorded in Ibn Katheer and narrated by

Hadhrat Talha bin Umar (R.A.) the following is mentioned:

 

" As the animal emerges from the ground, it will be dusting the sand

off its head. It will proceed towards the area between Hajrul Aswad

and Maqaamul Ibraheem. The people on seeing it will flee in all

directions, except for one group of people. It will approach this

group and illuminate their faces like shining stars. Thereafter it

will set out and travel throughout the whole world (at a great

speed). It will mark the faces of the Kuffar and none will be able to

escape it " .

 

It is narrated that this animal will have the staff of Sayyidena

Moosa (A.S.) with which it will mark the faces of the Mu'mineen

causing it to glitter while it will mark the necks and noses of the

Kuffar with the ring of Sayyidena Sulaiman (A.S.) causing their faces

to be blackened. Most scholars are of the opinion that this animal

will speak the normal and general things to the people. Before the

emergence of this animal there will be rumor on two previous

occasions about its emergence, once in Yemen and once in Najd. After

performing its duty the animal will disappear.

 

THE BREEZE FROM THE SOUTH

 

Thereafter an extremely fresh and fragrant breeze will blow from the

south causing a slight pain under the armpits of the Mu'mineen. This

pain will soon cause their deaths according to the order of their

piety, i.e. first the most pious, then the sinners, then the flagrant

sinners, etc. until no Mu'min, pious or sinful remains.

 

DESTRUCTION OF THE KA'BAH

Now that no Mu'min remains on the face of the earth, the forces of

Kufr and falsehood will be rampant. The entire world will be under

the the domination of Kuffar Africans. They will destroy Ka'bah

Shareef.

 

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) said: " Zus Saweeqatain (one with short shin bones), from

Habsha (Abyssinia) will destroy the Ka'bah.

 

Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi

Wasallam) said: " It is as though I can see a black, with crooked legs

destroying the Ka'bah, brick by brick " .

 

Hajj will no longer take place. The words of the Holy Qur'aan will be

lifted from the pages.

 

There will neither be any fear of Allah in the hearts of the people

nor any obedience whatsoever to His commands.

 

People will stoop to the lowest level of bestiality, perpetrating the

worst acts of immorality, corruption and evil.

 

Tyrant rulers will inflict the worst forms of punishment and

cruelties upon their subjects and the general masses will indulge in

bloodshed and anarchy.

 

There will be such ignorance that not a single being will mention the

name of Allah.

 

These will be the worst creation ever and upon them Qiyamah will

come.

 

There will be a certain degree of peace in Shaam as compared to the

rest of the world and many people will emigrate towards Shaam with

their families.

 

THE GREAT FIRE FROM THE SOUTH

 

A huge fire will break out in Yemen and the people will flee from it.

The fire will follow them as they proceed. When they will stop to

rest, it too will stop close by, and as they proceed it will resume

following them. In this manner it will drive them towards Shaam,

after which it will disappear. This is the final sign of Qiyamah.

 

THE COMMENCEMENT OF QIYAMAH

 

Some years after the Fire, while people will be living their lives in

sin, enjoying the luxury and comforts of the world, on a Friday which

will be the 10th Muharram, the day of Aashura, a distant continuous

sound will be heard. At first no one will take notice of this sound,

but as it gradually grows louder, people will be overtaken by fear.

This will be the TRUMPET (Soor) being blown by Hadhrat lsrafeel (A.S.)

 

The sound will be heard by all the people everywhere at the same

time, and there will be nowhere to escape from it. As it grows louder

people will become increasingly terrified and fearful. Soon it will

be louder than thunder and people will flee from their homes out into

the jungles in the hope of escaping from it while the animals of the

jungle who will also be terrified of it will come into the living

areas of the people to escape it. Soon all the creatures, large and

small will die because of the sound. It will destroy everything and

cause the earth to split all over. The seas will burst forth covering

the nearby mountains in water, and not before long the mountains too

will break up and the pieces thereof will crash against each other

totally disintergrating. As the sound grows louder yet, the skies

will split and the heavenly bodies, the stars, the moon and the sun

will all crumble.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE SOOR (TRUMPET)

 

The soor is a gigantic horn-shaped object. The bearer of the Soor is

the angel lsrafeel (alayhis salaam) who will blow the Soor at the

advent of Qiyamah and again at the advent of Resurrection.

 

The Soor is a physical or material object. The effect of its sound

will be the destruction of the universe. The Soor is not an

allegorical or metaphorical description of an abstract concept. It is

a real and material object created by Allah Ta'ala. Rejection of its

reality is kufr since the existence and description of the Soor are

facts proven by the Qur'aan Shareef and Ahadeeth. (Kitaabul Imaan )

 

DEATH OF SHAYTAAN

 

When all of mankind is destroyed, Malakul Maut (The angel of death)

will, now proceed towards Shaytaan, who will be running helter

skelter, because that life which he had requested from Allah has now

finally come to an end. The Mala'ikah will apprehend him and beat him

up with fiery rods, and thus extract his soul. The extent of pain

suffered by Shaytaan in his agonizing moments of death will be the

sum total of all the pain that was suffered by all of mankind during

their respective moments of death.

 

The soor will be blown for a period of six months after which nothing

will remain, except for eight things: The Arsh, Kursi, Lowh (Tablet),

Qalam (Pen), Jannat, Jahannam, The Soor and the Souls. The souls will

lapse into a state of unconsciousness. Even the Mala'ikah will be

annihilated.

 

According to a narration even these eight things will become non-

existent, though for a short while. When nothing exists, Except the

Being of Allah, He will proclaim, " For who is all sovereignty today? "

There will be total silence... Allah Himself will then declare, " For

Allah, The One, The Almighty. "

 

Then after a period known to Allah Alone, He will once more recreate

the Creation; the heavens, the earth, and the Malaikah. There will be

no trees, mountains or seas on the earth. The order will then be

given to lsrafeel (A.S.) to blow the Trumpet again, as a result of

which all the souls will return to their physical bodies which Allah

had recreated. After entering the bodies, these souls will never ever

leave them.

 

When the trumpet is blown, all of mankind will rise and proceed

towards the Plains of Qiyamah. The first to rise will be Our Beloved

Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), followed by Hadhrat Eesa (A.S.)

and then the Ambiyaa (A.S.), the martyrs, and the pious, who will be

followed by the sinners and finally the Kuffar. (As there were some

confusions with regards to this passage, we decided to place a

notation here. Please click here to see it.)

 

All of mankind will gather on the plains of Qiyamah which will be at

a place known to Allah. The Sun will be lowered towards the people

and will be at a distance of only a mile overhead, causing people to

drown in their own sweat according to their sins.

 

This will be the beginning of the lengthy Day of Reckoning, " ...a

day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years... " (Qur'aan)

 

Our Dua unto Allah The Merciful is that: May He grant us the true

realization of the purpose of our existence on this earth, before

death overtakes us; May He guide us towards repentance and

reformation; May He instill the realization of Aakhira in our hearts,

and May He save us from the horrors of the Day of Qiyamah. Aameen.
