People's conditions on the Day of Recompense

Praise be to Allah who gathers the people for a Day which has no doubt, verily Allah is Able to do all things.

The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person.

Verily, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Seer. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner and He is Al Latîf (the Most Subtle and Courteous), the Well-Acquainted (with all things). I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger, the giver of glad tiding, the warner, and the light whom was sent with the basis of truth, fundamentals of faith, and submission to the King of all kings peace be upon him, upon his Companions, his family, and those who follow them righteously until the Day of Recompense.

O people, fear your lord and know that He did not create you in vain and did not leave you without reckoning, but He created you to worship and obey Him, and perform righteous deeds for the Hereafter. "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 drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allâh." [Surat Al Hajj: 1-2]. "O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true: let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh." [Surat Luqman: 33].

On that Day, the earth will be pulled down and mountains will walk and on that Day great matters will happen.

On that Day, Allah will come down to judge between His Servants and you shall be resurrected naked, bare-footed, your eyes will look in amazement, and your hearts will be frightened.

On that Day, Allah will gather the former and the later from humans, jinn, and animals in one place, and shall give them sharp sights.

On that Day, a person will escape his brothers and sisters, his parents, wives, and children, for each one of them shall have a matter of his own.

On that Day, Allah shall grab the earth with His Hand, fold the heavens with His Right Hand, then He will say: I am the king, where are the tyrants, where are the haughty?

On that Day, the Sun draws nearer to the heads of people and people will sink in their sweat according to their actions. Some of them the sweat will cover their ankles, some of them the sweat will cover their chests, and some of them will be sunk in their sweat, then grief and distress will cover them beyond their capacity.

The people will say: Do not you see what has befallen on you, won't you look for someone to intercede for you before your Lord? Then, they go to Adam, but he apologizes and says: Go to someone else. So, they go to Noah, but he apologizes and says: Go to someone else.

Go to someone else. So, they go to Abraham, but he apologizes and says: Go to someone else. Then they go to Moses, but he apologizes and says: Go to someone else, go to Jesus. They go to Jesus, but he apologizes and says: Go to someone else, go to Muhammad (peace be upon him). So, the people go to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and he intercedes for the people and that is the praised station which Allah promised our Prophet (peace be upon him). Allah says: "It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqâm Mahmûd (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the honor of intercession on the Day of Resurrection)." [Surat Al Isra': 79].

On that Day, Allah will reckon all creation for their actions and the first thing for which a servant will be held accountable is Salah; if it is complete, his entire actions shall be good, but if it is not complete, his entire actions will be null and void.

Allah shall judge between people and complaints will be examined. The deeds of oppressors shall be given to the oppressed for their complaints until they are finished then the bad deeds of the oppressed will be given to the oppressors then they shall be thrown into Hell.

On that Day, the scale of deeds will be established and those who have heavy stock of good deeds shall be the successful, but those who have heavy stock of bad deeds shall be the losers who have lost themselves in Hell and Fire will burn their faces.

On that Day, sheets of deeds will be spread out and the believers will take their books of deeds with their right hands in joy, whereas the disbelievers take their books of deeds with their left hands or behind their backs in distress.

The Sirat will be established on the back of Hell and the people will pass it: Some of them will pass like lightening and some of them will pass like birds, and the good deeds of the people will fly with them according to their actions.

Your Prophet will stand on Sirat saying: O Lord, make them pass safely until the people are not be able to walk, so they crawl.

On the Day of Recompense, there will be the Prophet's basin which its long and wide are as length as walking for one month, upon which there will be two gutters: One of gold and the other is from silver, pouring water therein from Al Kawthar River [that is the river which the Prophet (peace be upon him) was given in Paradise].

Its water is whiter than milk, its taste is sweeter than honey, its smell is better than musk, and colder than ice. Its cups are abundant like stars in their shapes, whoever drinks from it will not feel thirst anymore.

There, the believers of the Prophet's nation will come to drink from that river bare-footed, naked, and their bodies are bright from the traces of ablution, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) is standing and looking at those who drink from that basin, however some people shall be prevented to reach the basin while the Prophet (peace be upon him) is saying: O Lord, my nation.

It will be said to him: You do not know what they have done after you passed away. I seek refuge with Allah against the cursed Satan: "And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salât (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Qur 'an in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer - Nawâfil) for you (O Muhammad peace be upon him). It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqâm Mahmûd (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the honor of intercession on the Day of Resurrection.)." [Surat Al Isra': 79].

May Allah, the Almighty, bless the Glorious Qur'an for you and me.
