THE DAY OF QIYAMA
THE DAY OF QIYAMA
It is an event which concerns everything and all mankind. The whole universe enters a new stage, life and system. The Qur'an tells us that this event will coincide with the extinction of the sun and the stars, the drying up of the seas, the levelling of high and low lands, the disintegration of mountains, universal earthquakes and a great transformation. The whole world will move towards destruction and everything will be annihilated.
This will be followed by resurrection. The Prophet (S.A.W.) has said:
"Whenever you see the season of Spring, remember resurrection." In other words, the rebirth in Spring of the plants is an example of resurrection.
If there were no resurrection, eternal life, Janna and Jahannam; then creation would be futile and vain and it would be unjust of God. Allah is neither unjust, nor does He create in vain.
It will be the day of assembly, encounter, accounting and compensation.
According to the Qur'an and the ahadith of our Ma'sumeen, it is the day when one will find one's deeds 'illustrated' and 'manifested'. Good deeds will be manifest as a source of happiness and joy whilst bad deeds will be manifest as a source of pain, suffering and torture.
The finale of the day will be the compensation of eternal bliss (Janna) or eternal punishment (Jahannam).
