God says
[His promise will be fulfilled] on the Day when earth shall be changed into another earth, as shall be the heavens, * and [all men and women] shall appear before God, the One who holds absolute sway over all that exists. For on that Day thou wilt see all who were lost in sin linked together in fetters, clothed in garments of black pitch, with fire veiling their faces. [And all shall be judged on that Day], so that God may requite every human being for all that he has earned [in life]: verily, God is swift in reckoning!This is a message unto all mankind. Hence, let them be warned thereby, and let them know that He is the One and Only God; and let those who are endowed with insight take this to heart! -- Q.14: 48-52
*In the eschatology of the Qur’an the end of the world does not mean an annihilation -- i.e., reduction to nothingness-- of the physical universe but, rather, its fundamental, cataclysmic transformation into something that cannot now be visualized. This is brought out in many allegorical allusions to the Last Day.
And [know] that the Last Hour is bound to come, beyond any doubt, and that God will [indeed] resurrect all who are in their graves. - Q.22: 7
Prophet said
1. “The sun and the moon will be overthrown on the Resurrection Day ” * – H: Bukhari. N: Abu Hurairah.
*For the details of the Day, the Prophet recommended that one should see Chapters: Q.81, 82, & 84 (which are very short ones.)
2. “Those whose account will be strictly taken will perish” – H: Bukhari. N: Bibi Ayesha.
Note: This topic will be concluded next Friday (it will then also conclude this Section No.!)
