5- The Belief in the Last Day
At death time (Barzakh):๐๐
What will happen to each one of us at death time is Ghaib (unseen world) for us ..
But Wahy (Hadeeth of AlBaraa ibn Azib) is describing it for us so clear ..
For believer and disbeliever ..
What will happen for their souls?
Grave test (Fitnah) for both, and results ..
Meaning of Last day:๐๐
The belief in the Last Day is the true
certain belief in all what Allรขh has stated in His Book, and all what His
Messenger has informed about in his Sunnah (Tradition). It is like events which
shall be after death such as the trial of the grave, and its happiness and
torture, the Resurrection, Al-Hashr (the Gathering), As-Sohof (the Scrolls),
Al-Hisab (the Account), Al-Mizan (the Balance), Al-Hawdh (the Fountain),
As-Sirat (the Bridge), Ash-Shafa’a (the Intercession), the Paradise and the
Hell, in addition to all what Allรขh has prepared to their people and all what
will be amongst signs of the Last Day, small ones and Big ones.
The Last Day is the Day of Resurrection on
which people will be sent to get their fair account, rewards and punishments.
It was named as such because there is no
day after it, for people of

ฑ- Events].
Dated 28th of Moharram 1446H๐๐
The Belief in the Last Day
includes three aspects:
First: the Belief in the Resurrection, which means the raise of the dead. And this happens when the second blow in the Trumpet is blown, at that time all mankind will stand before their Lord barefooted, naked and uncircumcised. Allรขh I said,
“َูู َุง ุจَุฏَุฃَْูุง ุฃَََّูู ุฎٍَْูู ُูุนِูุฏُُู َูุนْุฏًุง ุนَََْูููุง ุฅَِّูุง َُّููุง َูุงุนَِِููู”
- meaning – {As We produced the first Creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it}. Furthermore, Resurrection is a truth confirmed by the Scriptures of the Noble Book of Allรขh and the Honorable Sunnah of His Messenger and the Consensus (of Muslim Legal Scholars). Allรขh I said,
“ุซُู َّ ุฅَُِّููู ْ ุจَุนْุฏَ ุฐََِูู َูู َِّูุชَُูู. ุซُู َّ ุฅَُِّููู ْ َْููู َ ุงَِْูููุงู َุฉِ ุชُุจْุนَุซَُูู”
- meaning – {After that, at length you will die. Again, on the Day of Judgment, will you be raised up}, and the Prophet has said,
“ูุญุดุฑ ุงููุงุณ ููู ุงูููุงู ุฉ ุญูุงุฉ ุนุฑุงุฉ ุบุฑูุง”
- meaning – “The people would be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked and uncircumcised”. And, in fact, it is the mere commensurate aspect of Wisdom, which necessitates that Allรขh should make a Day of Return to repay them for what they have done. Allรขh I said,
“ุฃََูุญَุณِุจْุชُู ْ ุฃََّูู َุง ุฎَََْูููุงُูู ْ ุนَุจَุซًุง َูุฃََُّููู ْ ุฅََِْูููุง ูุง ุชُุฑْุฌَุนَُูู”
- meaning – {Did you then think that We had created you in jest, and that you would not be brought back to Us (for account)?”} and He said to His Prophet:
“ุฅَِّู ุงَّูุฐِู َูุฑَุถَ ุนَََْููู ุงُْููุฑْุขَู َูุฑَุงุฏَُّู ุฅَِูู ู َุนَุงุฏٍ”
- meaning – {Verily
He Who ordained the Qur’รขn for you, will bring you, back to the Place of Return}.
Second: the belief in the Account and the Repay. This means that the slave (of Allรขh) will be accounted for his deeds and then he will be repaid for them, and this has been confirmed by the Book and the Sunnah and the Consensus of Muslim community, Allรขh I said,
“ ุฅَِّู ุฅََِْูููุง ุฅَِูุงุจَُูู ْ. ุซُู َّ ุฅَِّู ุนَََْูููุง ุญِุณَุงุจَُูู ْ”
- meaning – {For to Us will be their Return; Then it will be for Us to call them to account}. And Ibn Omar narrated that the Prophet r said,
“ ُูุฏَْูู ุงْูู ُุคْู ُِู َْููู َ ุงَِْูููุงู َุฉِ ู ِْู ุฑَุจِِّู ุนَุฒَّ َูุฌََّู ุญَุชَّู َูุถَุนَ ุนََِْููู َََُูููู ََُูููุฑِّุฑُُู ุจِุฐُُููุจِِู ََُُููููู َْูู ุชَุนْุฑُِู ََُُููููู ุฃَْู ุฑَุจِّ ุฃَุนْุฑُِู َูุงَู َูุฅِِّูู َูุฏْ ุณَุชَุฑْุชَُูุง ุนَََْููู ِูู ุงูุฏَُّْููุง َูุฅِِّูู ุฃَุบِْูุฑَُูุง ََูู ุงَْْูููู َ َُููุนْุทَู ุตَุญَِููุฉَ ุญَุณََูุงุชِِู َูุฃَู َّุง ุงَُّْูููุงุฑُ َูุงْูู َُูุงَُِูููู ََُูููุงุฏَู ุจِِูู ْ ุนََูู ุฑُุกُูุณِ ุงْูุฎَูุงุฆِِู َูุคُูุงุกِ ุงَّูุฐَِูู َูุฐَุจُูุง ุนََูู ุงَِّููู”
- meaning – “A believer will be brought to his Lord, the
Exalted and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection, and he would place upon him
His veil, and make him confess his faults. Then, He would say, ‘Do you
recognize (your faults)?’ He would reply, ‘My Lord, I do’. He (the Lord) would
say, ‘I concealed them for you in the worldly life, and today I forgive them
for you. And he would then be given the book containing (the account of his)
good deeds’. So far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there
would be general announcement about them before the entire creation saying,
‘These people told a lie about Allรขh’.” This is in addition to the
Consensus of Muslim community about the approval of the Account and the Repay
on the deeds and this is as we said before the mere commensurate aspect of
Wisdom.
Third: the belief in the
It is where all sorts of ease exist, and there exists what no eye has perceived and no ear has heard and no human mind has ever thought about. Allรขh I said,
“ุฅَِّู ุงَّูุฐَِูู ุขู َُููุง َูุนَู ُِููุง ุงูุตَّุงِูุญَุงุชِ ุฃَُْููุฆَِู ُูู ْ ุฎَْูุฑُ ุงْูุจَุฑَِّูุฉِ. ุฌَุฒَุงุคُُูู ْ ุนِْูุฏَ ุฑَุจِِّูู ْ ุฌََّูุงุชُ ุนَุฏٍْู ุชَุฌْุฑِู ู ِْู ุชَุญْุชَِูุง ุงูุฃَْููุงุฑُ ุฎَุงِูุฏَِูู َِูููุง ุฃَุจَุฏًุง ุฑَุถَِู ุงَُّููู ุนَُْููู ْ َูุฑَุถُูุง ุนَُْูู ุฐََِูู ِูู َْู ุฎَุดَِู ุฑَุจَُّู”
- meaning – {Those who have faith and do righteous deeds; They are the best of creatures. Their reward is with Allรขh: Paradises of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein forever; Allรขh well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher}. And He said,
“َููุง
ุชَุนَْูู
ُ َْููุณٌ ู
َุง ุฃُุฎَِْูู َُููู
ْ ู
ِْู ُูุฑَّุฉِ ุฃَุนٍُْูู ุฌَุฒَุงุกً ุจِู
َุง َูุงُููุง
َูุนْู
ََُููู” - meaning – {Now no person knows what delights of the
eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them, as a reward for their (good) Deeds}.
On the other hand, Hell is where torture exists, prepared for wrongdoers disbelievers, who disbelieved in Allรขh and disobeyed His Messengers. There exist all sorts of suffering and exemplary punishment, which would not cross anyone’s mind. Allรขh I said,
“َูุงุชَُّููุง ุงَّููุงุฑَ ุงَّูุชِู ุฃُุนِุฏَّุชْ َِْูููุงِูุฑَِูู”
- meaning – {Fear the Fire, which is prepared for those who reject Faith}. And He said,
“ุฅَِّูุง ุฃَุนْุชَุฏَْูุง ِููุธَّุงِูู َِูู َูุงุฑًุง ุฃَุญَุงุทَ ุจِِูู ْ ุณُุฑَุงุฏَُِููุง َูุฅِْู َูุณْุชَุบِูุซُูุง ُูุบَุงุซُูุง ุจِู َุงุกٍ َูุงْูู ُِْูู َูุดِْูู ุงُْููุฌَُูู ุจِุฆْุณَ ุงูุดَّุฑَุงุจُ َูุณَุงุกَุชْ ู ُุฑْุชًََููุง”
- meaning – {We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and
flames), like the wall and roof of a tent, will hem them in. If they implore
relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their
faces. How dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!}.
The Belief in the Last Day brings forth to the believer so many significant
benefits, like:
First: prompting the desire to obey and the care for them
looking forward to being rewarded on that Day.
Second: prompting the awe from disobeying or accepting
disobeying fearing the punishment of that Day.
Third: the consolation of the believer in what he does
not get in this world in return of what he hopes to get in the Thereafter.
The Resurrection is proved by three ways:
1. Divine Legislation.
2. Common sense.
3. Reason (human mind).
Despite this fact, disbelievers have denied the
Resurrection after death claiming that it is inconceivable; however, this is
obsolete and its desuetude is proved by Divine Legislation, common sense, and
reason.
Concerning the Divine Legislation, Allรขh I said, “ุฒَุนَู
َ ุงَّูุฐَِูู ََููุฑُูุง ุฃَْู َْูู
ُูุจْุนَุซُูุง ُْูู ุจََูู َูุฑَุจِّู َูุชُุจْุนَุซَُّู ุซُู
َّ َูุชَُูุจَّุคَُّู ุจِู
َุง
ุนَู
ِْูุชُู
ْ َูุฐََِูู ุนََูู ุงَِّููู َูุณِูุฑٌ” - meaning – {The Unbelievers
claimed that they will not be raised up (for Judgment). Say (O Muhammad r): "Yea, by my Lord,
you shall surely be raised up: then shall you be told (the truth) of all that
you did. And that is easy for Allรขh."}, and all Holly Books have
agreed upon this aspect.
Concerning the common sense, Allรขh has shown
His slaves examples about the raising of the dead, five of them are mentioned
in Surat Al-Bakarah (The Cow), they are:
First example: the people of Musa (Moses)
asked their Prophet to show them Allรขh plainly, for this reason, Allรขh made
them dead then He gave them life, as He said, “َูุฅِุฐْ
ُْููุชُู
ْ َูุงู
ُูุณَู َْูู ُูุคْู
َِู ََูู ุญَุชَّู َูุฑَู ุงََّููู ุฌَْูุฑَุฉً

ِْู
ุจَุนْุฏِ ู
َْูุชُِูู
ْ َูุนََُّููู
ْ ุชَุดُْูุฑَُูู” - meaning – {And remember when you
said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in you until we see Allรขh
manifestly," but you were dazed by thunder and lightning even as you
looked on. Then We raised you up after your death; you had the chance to be
grateful}.
Second
example:
the story of the murdered person whom the conflict in Bani Israel (The Children
of Israel) was about. Al-Bakarah (The Cow):73.
Third example: the story of those who
went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death. Allรขh told them
‘die!’, and then He restored them to life.
Fourth example: the story of the one who
passed by a dead town and regarded that it is unlikely to have this town alive
again. Allรขh then took life from him hundred years and then gave it back to
him.
Fifth example: the story of Ibrahim
(Abraham) the Intimate when he asked Allรขh to show him how He gives life to the
dead.
So, these are true seen examples, which shows
the possibility of raising dead into life again. In addition to what we
mentioned about the Signs (Miracles) of Isa (Jesus) when Allรขh gave him the
ability to raise dead out of their graves, only after Allรขh’s permission.
Yet the proof of reason on the possibility of
Resurrection is stated in
two aspects:
First aspect: Allรขh has created the earth
and heavens and all what is between them from the very beginning, and the One
who could once start the creation can surely recreate it again. Allรขh I said, “ََُููู ุงَّูุฐِู َูุจْุฏَุฃُ ุงْูุฎََْูู
ุซُู
َّ ُูุนِูุฏُُู ََُููู ุฃََُْููู ุนََِْููู” - meaning – {It is He Who begins
(the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy}.
Second aspect: we see the earth barren
with no single green tree in it, but when Allรขh sends down water (rain) on it,
it is stirred to life, and swells and puts forth every lovely kind of growth.
The One Who could give life to this earth is for sure easily capable of giving
raise to dead. Allรขh I said, “َูู
ِْู
ุขَูุงุชِِู ุฃَََّูู ุชَุฑَู ุงูุฃุฑْุถَ ุฎَุงุดِุนَุฉً َูุฅِุฐَุง ุฃَูุฒََْููุง ุนَََْูููุง ุงْูู

َْูุชَู ุฅَُِّูู ุนََูู
ُِّูู ุดَْูุกٍ َูุฏِูุฑٌ” - meaning – {And among His Signs in this: where you see
the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred
to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can
surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things}.
The 12th Dars (class):
[5th pillar: The Belief in Last day -
C- Grave's test].
Dated 6th of Safar 1446H๐๐
The Belief in what shall be after death follows the belief in the Last
Day:
A. The
Fitnah (Trial) of the grave:
It is
asking the dead after burying him about his Lord, his Religion, and his
Prophet. Yet there, Allรขh will keep firm with the word that stands firm those
who believe, so he would say, ‘my Lord is Allรขh, my Religion is Islรขm, and
my Prophet is Muhammad r’. Then Allรขh will cause to go astray wrongdoers, and
the disbeliever would say, ‘Hah! Hah! I do not know’, and the hypocrite
would say, ‘I do not know, I heard people say so and I said as they did’.
B. The
Torture of the grave and its Ease:
Concerning the Torture of the grave, it would be the chance of wrongdoers
(disbelievers or hypocrites). Allรขh I said,

meaning - {Who can be more wicked than one who invented a lie against
Allรขh, or said: "I have received inspiration," when he had received
none, or (again) who said, "I can reveal the like of what Allรขh has
revealed?" If you could but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of
confusion at death! The angels stretch forth their hands, (saying), "Yield
up your souls: this day shall you receive your reward, a penalty of shame, for
that you used to tell lies against Allรขh, and scornfully to reject of His Signs!"}
And He said about the people of the Pharaoh: “ุงَّููุงุฑُ
ُูุนْุฑَุถَُูู ุนَََْูููุง ุบُุฏًُّูุง َูุนَุดًِّูุง ََْูููู

ุฃَุฏْุฎُِููุง ุขَู ِูุฑْุนََْูู ุฃَุดَุฏَّ ุงْูุนَุฐَุงุจِ” - meaning – {In front of the Fire
will they be brought, morning and evening: and (the Sentence will be) on the
Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast you the People of Pharaoh
into the severest Punishment!"}. And the Prophet r said, “ุชุนูุฐูุง ุจุงููู ู
ู ุนุฐุงุจ ุงููุจุฑ” - meaning – “Seek the
Protection of Allรขh from the grave torture”.
Yet concerning the Ease of the Grave, it is the chance of the honest
believers, Allรขh I said, “ุฅَِّู ุงَّูุฐَِูู
َูุงُููุง ุฑَุจَُّูุง ุงَُّููู ุซُู

ُْููุชُู
ْ ุชُูุนَุฏَُูู” - meaning – {In the case of those who say, "Our
Lord is Allรขh," and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels
descend on them (from time to time): "Fear you not!" (they suggest),
"Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the
However, people of distortion went astray in this aspect,
so they denied the torture of the grave and its Ease claiming that this is
inconceivable because it contradicts with reality. They said that if we dug a
grave, we would have found it as it was and not changed, neither wider nor
narrower.
As a matter of fact, this claim is obsolete
by all considerable means: Legislation, common sense, and reason.
As for Legislation, we have mentioned before
Scriptures proving the torture and ease of the grave. Al-Bukhari reported that
Ibn Abbass said, ‘once the Prophet went out of the Madinah fences, and suddenly
he heard a voice of two suffering persons in their graves’. Then he went on
saying, ‘he said, “ุฃู
ุง ุฃุญุฏูู
ุง ูุงู ูุง
ูุณุชุชุฑ ู
ู ุงูุจูู” - meaning - “One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine and the other one
used to go about with calumnies”.’
As to common sense, a sleeping person dreams
that he is in a vast place happy in it, or dreams that he is in a confined
desolate place suffering in it. Then, he will wake up finding himself in bed
nothing changed with his body or surroundings. Moreover, sleeping is the
brother of death, this is why Allรขh called it dying, Allรขh I said, “ุงَُّููู َูุชَََّููู ุงูุฃُْููุณَ ุญَِูู
ู
َْูุชَِูุง َูุงَّูุชِู َูู

ุนَََْูููุง ุงْูู
َْูุชَ َُููุฑْุณُِู ุงูุฃุฎْุฑَู ุฅَِูู ุฃَุฌٍَู ู
ُุณَู
ًّู” - meaning – {It is
Allรขh that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes)
during their sleep. Those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps
back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a
term appointed}.
As to reason, the sleeping person dreams about something, which exactly agrees with the reality. And perhaps he dreams about the Prophet as he is and whoever dreams about the Prophet as he was, then he has seen him really. In spite of this, that sleeping person is lying down in his bed far away from he has seen. So if this were believable in these normal phenomena of this world, would not it be quite possible in the Thereafter incidents.
