Yaum al-Hisab "Day of Reckoning," (Quran 72.130 "Day of the Gathering," "Day of Accountability," "Day of Distress," (Quran 74.9) and the "Great Announcement") some names in Arabaic for the Day of Judgement.
Sixth Pillar of Faith
Belief in Qiyamah is part of Aqidah and is a fundamental tenet of faith in Islam. The trials and tribulations of Qiyamah are detailed in Quran and narrations (hadeeth), as well as in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Imam al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail. Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is held accountable for his or her deeds and are judged by God accordingly (Quran, 74.38).
Overview
At a time unknown to man, but preordained (Quran 17.49-51, 34.28-30, 72.25-26, 79.42-44, Sahih Bukhari, book 2 "book of faith", number 47), when people least expect it, Allah will give permission for the Qiyamah to begin.
The archangel Israfil, referred to as the Caller, will sound a horn sending out a "Blast of Truth" (Quran 50.37-42, 69.13-18, 74.8, 78.18).
All men and women will fall unconcious. The first to awake will be Muhammad who will see Moses, holding up the Throne of Allah at the mountain of Tur (Sahih Bukhari, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", numbers 610, 620, 626.)
Those who distorted or ignored the Quran will be engulfed in the Hellfire (Quran 2.174-6, 72.4, 72.15, 73.12, 74.26-27, 74.42-46, 79.36-39).
On the other hand, those who truly believed in Allah, referred to as Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun (Sahih Bukhari, book 4 "Ablution", number 133; 138 in another edition) due to the trace of ritual ablution performed during their lives, will repent their sin and will return to "the Garden beneath which rivers flow," (Quran 58.21, 61.2, 64.9, 65.11, 66.8-11, 68.17-32, 69.21-24, 70.32-38, 71.12, 74.40, 76.12-14, 78.32, 79.40-41, 80.28-31, 85.11, 88.8-11).
The world will be destroyed, or folded, the dead will rise from their graves and will gather, waiting to be judged for their actions (Quran 11.102-7).
Sun and Moon Joined Together
The ayat "And the moon is buried in darkness. And the sun and moon are joined together," (75.8-9) can be interpreted in several ways. The classical commentators Al-Jalalayn, Al-Tabari and Al-Qurtubi explain this verse as meaning that the sun and moon are joined in being darkened, rather than truly merged together whereas when viewed scientifically this is a premonition of a lunar eclipse followed by a cosmic collision between the sun and moon.
Gathering of Humans and Jinn
Alamin (humankind, the Jinn, and all other living beings), will be gathered upon a vast, white, featureless ground, under the intense heat of the Sun overhead. They will be naked, uncircumcised and crowded together to the point where some are submerged in their own sweat, as in the beginning of creation (Quran 21.104, Sahih Bukhari, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", number 656; Quran 5.117-118). The degree to which one is submerged in sweat depends on the extent of his or her piety and goodness.
The faces of those who practiced good adab by following the Five Pillars of Islam in their daily lives are nadirah, shining and radiant, whereas the faces of disbelievers are basirah, dark, sad and frowning (Quran 75.22-24). Despite being unclothed the anxiety and fear of the situation will be so great that no one would think to look at another's nudity. The creatures thus wait to be brought before God for their judgement. Humans will be so fearful on this "day" that the prophets themselves will repeatedly address God with the phrase sallim, sallim, or spare — that is, "spare your followers, O God," and followers of Muhammad during his lifetime who strayed from Islam after his passing will be engulfed in fire (Quran 5.117-118, Sahih Bukhari, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", number 568). Even the angels are fearful, and on that day, Allah will be angrier than he has been or ever will be again. Duration of the Day of Judgment
The Qu'ran mentions the duration of the day of judgement as 50,000 years (Quran 70.4) and that it may have already begun (Quran 42.17, 47.18, 70.6-7). People will beseech the prophets to intercede on their behalf, first Abraham, then Moses, then Adam, and finally Noah, all of whom decline to do so and instead point to the prophet Muhammad, who will intercede behalf of the world (Quran 74.48; Sahih Bukhari, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", number 555, 569). Abraham will meet his father Azar whose face will be basirah. When Abraham demands that his father not be disgraced he is informed that on this day no one is above reproach (Sahîh al-bokhârî, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", number 581). Abraham finds a blood-stained Dhabh beneath his feet and throws him into Jahannam. Other notable relatives who are among those cast into Jahannam include the wives of Noah (Nuh) and Lot (Lut) (Quran 66.10). When Lut and his family left Sodom and Gomorrah, his wife disobeyed the commands of the two angels not to look back at the burning city, thus she is not among Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun. Rejectors of Faith Taken to Hell
Rejectors of Faith Taken to Hell
Adam is ordered by Allah to bring all of those who rejected Islam to Jahannam (Hell). He asks how many he should bring and Allah answers, "From every one thousand, take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine."
At that time children will become grey headed (Quran 73.12), previously healed wounds will reappear (Sahih Bukhari, book 4 "Ablution", number 238), every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will be sober, but dreadful will be the Wrath of God (Quran 69.47, Sahih Bukhari, book 55 "accounts of the prophets", number 567.)
Rejection of false Gods
Idols will assert that only God is Lord, and that they were wrongfully worshipped. The Quran and Hadith state that the prophet Jesus will return and will deny he claimed he was Lord (Quran 43.61). In regard to idolatry, Muhammad said, "If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creature in the sight of God on the Day of Resurrection," (Sahih Bukhari, book 8 "Prayers", number 409 (419 in the USC MSA database.)
Personification in Qiyamah
The personification of objects that are not normally considered anthropomorphic is a recurrent motif in Kalam (Islamic theology) regarding the wa'dul akhirati (afterlife). For instance, artists who depict living creatures are tormented by their creations. Allah infuses each with a soul due to the Islamic prohibition against aristists depicting beings that have "souls," interpreted as meaning all mammals including humans. In the grave one faces either a reassuring man (his or her good deeds), or a foul-looking creature (his or her sins) (Quran 82.4). Again, this recurs in the subject of the Qiyamah. For instance, the Qu'ran appears as an anthropomorphic being that greets those who loved it in their lives and offers them some solace. In the same vein, accounts in primary Islamic literature mention that at some point (perhaps after creatures are confined to either paradise (al-firdaus) or hell) Death will be brought forth and slain, and a proclamation that there is no more death will be sounded.
Barzakh
Barzakh is a sequence that happens after death. The main events take place chronologically, constitute the Barzakh sequence:
Archangel Azrael, aided by other angels takes the soul out of the body one of two ways:
1. With great pain and agony, for the evil and corrupt people
2. Painlessly for the righteous believers. (Quran 79: 1,2)
After the separation of body and soul, Nakir and Munkar's (two Angels) interrogation of the soul after being put into the grave:
1. "Who is your Lord?" - Answer: "My Lord is Allah"
2. "What is your Deen (way of life)?" - Answer: "My deen is Allah"
3. "Who is your Prophet?" - Answer: "My prophet is Muhammad" (peace be upon him).
Waahsh
The "Waahsh" or the horror of the grave, the pressure of the grave depending on whether the person was righteous or not. Muhammad referred to the interrogation as, "...the worst hours of a man's life".
Al-Kawthar For Believers
Believers will be led by the prophet Muhammad to a vast basin or lake-fount called al-kawthar الكوثر, where their thirst will be sated with a white-colored drink that tastes like sweetened milk. Whosoever drinks it, never thirsts thereafter. In one hadith al-kawthar is said to be a river of paradise (al-Bukhari, book 76, hadith 583.) Sahih Bukhari, in book 76 (the book of tenderness), the chapter on the basin contains at least 14 hadiths regarding it.
“Seeing" Allah
Islam also addresses the question of whether believers will be able to see Allah on that day. According to one or more Hadith classified as sahîh (trustworthy), Allah will show something to the believers, described in Arabic ters as a "leg" or "shin". According to Imam Muslim and Muhammad al-Bukhari collections of hadeeths, believers will not see Allah until they have died.
Islam answers the question in the affirmative; believers will see God.
Another Hadith states that believers will be able to see their Lord, just as we are able to see the sun or the moon in the sky. When God reveals Himself to the faithful, a Hadith states that those who during their life would not pray of their own free will will be made to fall back.
Judgement
During the Judgement, a person's own book of deeds will be opened, and they will be apprised of every action they did and every word they spoke (Quran 54.52-53). Actions taken during childhood are not judged. The account of deeds is so detailed that the man or woman will wonder at how comprehensive the account is, that even minor and trivial deeds are included. When the Hour is at hand, some will deny that al-Qiyamah is taking place and will be warned that al-Qiyamah precedes the Day of Pining (distress) (Quran 30.55-57, 19.39).
It doesn't matter if someone denies a deed they committed, or refuses to acknowledge it, their body parts will testify against them.
Throughout judgement, however, the underlying principle is that of a complete and perfect justice administered by God. The accounts of judgement are also replete with the emphasis that God is merciful and forgiving, and that mercy and forgiveness will be granted on that day insofar as it is merited. This is similar to some Protestant theologies that state that salvation is by the grace of God, and not by deeds. Islam, however, emphasizes that grace does not conflict with perfect justice. Animals are also judged, but separately, and they are avenged from humans and other animals. They are then made to perish. The animals (or other creatures) in paradise are thus different than the animals of our world. There is indication also that nations are collectively called to account for their deeds. And there are Hadiths that indicate that on judgement day people are made to join the races or communities with which they associated themselves, which points to a definition of society in ideological — not racial — terms.
Jahannam (Hell) and Jannah (Paradise)
After judgement all people are made to cross over a deep abyss, whence the flames of Jahannam (Hell) leap up, on al-Sirât (الصراط), a thorny bridge so thin that it cannot be seen. The believers and those destined for Jannah are able to cross quickly and safely, whereas others fall off this hair-thin bridge into hell. Concerning the matter of reward or Heaven (paradise) and Hell (punishment), there is the subject of the Intercession (الشفاعة). Authentic sayings, from the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, tell us he will be allowed to intercede on behalf of all of mankind, as opposed to the prophets who preceded him who were only able to appeal to nations (Sahîh al-bukhari, book 7 "Tayammum (rubbing hands and feet with dust)", number 331.)
Additionally, the believers will be allowed to plead for family members and loved ones.
Throughout the discourse regarding the ultimate destiny, the consistent tenet is that being sent to paradise or to hell is a matter in God's hands alone (or, in Christian parlance, a matter determined by grace). God is thus the ultimate arbiter and qadi (judge) as to who remains in hell and who is rescued.
Redemption
In one Hadith, it is related that after the Intercession of the prophet Muhammad, God himself intercedes, repeatedly ordering his angels to fetch out of hell any who sincerely professed the Shahada (Sahih Bukhari, book 3 "book of learning or knowledge", number 97 (98 in another edition)) until the angels are ordered to return and find anyone with even an atom's measure of goodness in his or her heart. Those who have worshipped false gods, or have participated in idol worship are not rescued from hell and instead remain there eternally. After the Intercession, life resumes, either in paradise or in hell.
The Mahdi (Guided One) and ad-Dajjal (Anti-Christ)
The coming of the Mahdi (meaning "the guided one"), precedes the Second Coming of Jesus, triggers the redemption of Islam and the defeat of its enemies.
Jesus Joins Mahdi, Fights Evil, Kills Antichrist
Jesus and the Mahdi work together to fight evil in the world and to cement justice on Earth.
The Mahdi comes from Mecca and rules from Damascus, Syria.
Jesus will defeat Al Mashih Ad-Dajjal (false Messiah or antichrist,) and then shall live on earth for many years. Jesus will get married and have a family, and finally die.
Throughout history many people have claimed to be the "Mahdi", but according to hadeeths, the Mahdi will be from Makkah, his name will be Muhammad, ibn Abdullah (same as the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) and from the same family as the prophet.
Here are just a few of the people who have claimed to be the "Mahdi": Syed Mohammad Jaunpuri, Siyyid Mírzá 'Alí-Muhammad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Muhammad Ahmad, and Juhayman ibn-Muhammad ibn-Sayf al-Utaibi.
Mark of the Beast
After the Mahdi arrives, "the ground will cave in, fog or smoke will cover the skies for forty days (ayah). A night three nights long will follow the fog. After the night of three nights, the sun will rise in the west. The Beast of Earth shall emerge. The beast will talk to people and mark the faces of people. A breeze from the south shall cause sores in the armpits of Muslims which they will die from. The Quran will be lifted from the hearts of the people.
