The Blast of the Trumpet, the Judgement and the Recompense

Allah tells us about the terrors of the Day of Judgement, with its mighty signs and terrifying upheaval.

لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْم
("Whose is the kingdom this day"),

لِلَّهِ الْوَحِدِ الْقَهَّار
("It is Allah's, the One, the Irresistible!") (40;16)

`I am the One existing Alone, I subjugated all things and I decreed that all things must come to an end.'

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْبِالسَّاهِرَةِ

But it will be only a single Zajrah, when behold, they find themselves alive. (79;13-14)

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلً

On the Day when He will call you, and you will respond with His praise, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while! (17;52)

and,

وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ أَن تَقُومَ السَّمَأءُ وَالاٌّرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِّنَ الاٌّرْضِ إِذَا أَنتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ

"You say that the Hour will come at such and such time."

Abdullah bin `Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

"The Messenger of Allah said;

يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي أُمَّتِي فَيَمْكُثُ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ

The Dajjal will emerge in my Ummah and he will stay among them for forty.

I do not know whether he said forty days or forty months or forty years or forty nights.

فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَةُ وَالسَّلَمُ كَأَنَّهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ فَيَظْهَرُ فَيُهْلِكُهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ يَلْبَثُ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ سِنِينَ سَبْعًا لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ عَدَاوَةٌ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى رِيحًا بَارِدَةً مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّامِ فَلَ يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلاَّ قَبَضَتْهُ حَتْى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ فِي كَبِدِ جَبَلٍ لَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْه

Then Allah will send `Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him, who resembles `Urwah bin Mas`ud Ath-Thaqafi, and he will prevail. Allah will destroy him (the Dajjal), then after that mankind will live for seven years with no enmity between any two people. Then Allah will send a cool wind from the direction of Ash-Sham, which will take the soul of every person who has even a speck of faith in his heart; even if one of them were to be inside the heart of a mountain, it would enter upon him."

He said, "I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ;

وَيَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ فِي خِفَّةِ الطَّيْرِ وَأَحْلَمِ السِّبَاع لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا قال فَيَتَمَثَّلُ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَقُولُ أَلَا تَسْتَجِيبُونَ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِعِبَادَةِ الاَْوْثَانِ فَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ دَارَّةٌ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ حَسَنٌ عَيْشُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَ يَسْمَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ أَصْغَى لَهُ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ رَجُلٌ يَلُوطُ حَوْضَهُ فَيَصْعَقُ ثُمَّ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ صَعِقَ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى أَوْ يُنْزِلُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَطَرًا كَأَنَّهُ الطَّلُّ أَوِ الظِّلُّ شك نعمان فَتَنْبُتُ مِنْهُ أَجْسَادُ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلى رَبِّكُمْ

وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَّسْيُولُونَ

Then there will be no one left who has not died.

Then Allah will send) -- or -- send down (rain like drizzle) -- or -- shade -- An-Nu`man (one of the narrators) was not sure of its wording (from which the bodies of the people will grow.

Then the Trumpet will be blown once more, and they will be standing, looking on. Then it will be said,

"O mankind, come to your Lord,
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَّسْيُولُونَ
(But stop them, verily, they are to be questioned), (37;24) Then it will be said,

أَخْرِجُوا بَعْثَ النَّارِ قال فيُقَالُ كَمْ فَيُقَالُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِايَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ فَيَوْمَيِذٍ يُبْعَثُ الْوِلْدَانُ شِيبًا وَيَوْمَيِذٍ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاق

"Send forth the people of Hell."

It will be said, "How many'?'

It will said, "From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety- nine."

On that Day, children will be resurrected gray-haired, and on that Day the Shin will be laid bare."

This was recorded by Muslim in his Sahih.

Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet said;

مَا بَيْنَ النَّفْخَتَيْنِ أَرْبَعُون

Between the two blasts, there will be only forty.

They said, "O Abu Hurayrah, forty days?"

He, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I do not know."

They said, "Forty years?"

He said, "I do not know."

They said, "Forty months?"

He said, "I do not know."

وَيَبْلَى كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الاِْنْسَانِ إِلاَّ عَجْبَ ذَنَبِهِ فِيهِ يُرَكَّبُ الْخَلْق

Every part of a man will disintegrate apart from the root of his backbone, and out of that he will be created anew.

Allah's statement,
