! Journey to Eternity !

1) The Grave: This is the first stage of the hereafter, a pit of fire for the hypocrite and disbeliever and a garden for the believer. We come to know through various narrations that there are certain punishment in the grave for various acts of disobedience. From them are not cleansing oneself properly from urine. Tale bearing in order to spread strife amongst people. Intentionally sleeping through the obligatory prayers. Abandoning the Qur'an, fornication and adultery, homosexuality, intrest and usury, withholding payment of debts and other sins. Salvation from this punishment can be achieved by performing good deeds done sincerely for Allah, by seeking refuge in Allah from his punishment, by reciting Sural al-Mulk[67] , and by other deeds. Those who are protected from this punishment and will not face it include the martyrs, those who died in guard duty,those who died on the day of Friday (Al-Jumuah) those who died in childbirth, and others. 2) BLOWING OF THE HORN FOR RESURRECTION: This is an immense horn that will be blown by the angel Israfeel who awaits the command, This first is called the blowing of shock: Allah subhana wata ahlaa said: "The day the trumpet will be blown and everything in the Heavens and on the Earth will be swoon as shocked except for those whom Allah wills to exempt."[27:87] , and everything will be dertroyed. Then after forty years, it will be blown again, the blowning of Resurrection, as ALLAH said: "and then it will be blown again, and they will be standing, lookin." [39:68] 3) RESURRECTION: Allah will send a downpour of rain and the bodies will sprout(from the tailbone), and they will be a new creation, one which will never die. They will be resurreted uncircumcised and naked. They will be able to see the angels and the jiin, and they will be resurrected according to their deeds. 4) THE GREAT GATHERING: Allah will gather all creatures for their account, they will be in shock, in stupor like people intoxicated, for a colossal day, the length of which will be fifty thousand years. Their time on earth will seem to them as if it were no longer than a mere hour. The Sun will draw near a mile away, and each will perspire according to their deeds. The tyrants as well as the weak who followed them will fall into dispute. Each disbeliever will argue with his patron devil, Satan, and even his own limbs, and each will curse the other. The unjust wrongdoers will bite their hands (in remorse). The Hell fire will be dragged before them by 70 thousand latches, each latch held by 70 thousands angels. When the disbelievers see the Hell fire, they will wish that they could ransom themselves from the punishment, or that they could turned to dust (to escape the coming torture). The disobedient (of the believers) will be punished. For instance, the one who refuse to pay the obligatory charity (Zakah) will have the money he refused to spend brand him like iron rods. The arrogant will be resurrected like ants (to be trod upon). The treacherous traitor, the embezzler and the robber will be exposed.The thief will come with what he stole [for all to see]. In short , all things hidden will be brought out clearly into open. As for the righteous, this day will not frighten them, and it will pass like their performance of the Dhuhr prayer. INTERCESSION [ Shafa'ah]: There is a special intercession besought by prohet Muhammad [PBUH] for all creatures, Wherein he will intercede for the removing of this great tribulation from all people and to let accountability begin. There will be other forms of intercession besought by others of creation, such as the prohets, for removing disbelievers from Hellfire and to raise their levels in Paradise.ACCOUNTABILITY [Hisaab] : The people will be presented before their their Lord in groups for their deeds to be seen by all and to be questioned. They will also be questioned about their lives, their youth, their wealth, their knowlegde and their responsibilities, the blessing they received, their faculties of seeing, hearing and intelligence (how each was utilized and expended). The disbeliever and the hypocrites will be taken to account in the view of all creation to reprimand them, to prove their guilt, and for people, the earth, the days, the nights, wealth, the angels and their own limbs stand witness against them. They will admit their sins and acknowledge them. As for the believer each will be given a private session wherein they will admit their sins to Allah. Until, when they think that they will be destroyed. It will said to them,'I Hid them for you in the world and I will forgive them for you today." The first people to be taken to account will be the followers of Muhammad (PBUH). The first deeds of worship taken into account are the obligatory prayers. The first disputes to be settled will those which involve the spillage of blood. THE SPEADING OF THE SCROLLS OF DEEDS : The scrolls which recorded each person deeds will then be spread. These will be records "wherein no great or small deed will be left unaccounted". The believer will be given the record in his right hand, whereas the disbelievers and the hypocrites will be given theirs in their left hands and behind their backs.
