Dear Readers,
Life after death for every one
begins with the death of person. "Life
after death" consists of some stages, such as, grave’s life (barzakh); the whole existing life except for those that Allah wishes, will be
destroyed by being blown of first sûr (qiyamat); resurrection by
being blown of second sûr (ba's); gathering in the presence of
Allah (hashr); distribution of the book of records to everyone, in which all records was kept about what he
did and said in the world; performing of the accounts (hasap); intercession of good persons in the presence of Allah (prophets,
saints, guardians, the martyrs, the righteous persons) for the purpose of
forgiveness of guilty Muslims (shafaat);
and being taken to heaven or hell to
pay in return of what he did in the world (sirat bridge, jannah, jahannam);
after the guilty Muslims have served their sentences in hell, being taken to
heaven and eternal life that will
last forever.
If
Allah allows me, I will attempt to release the information on this issue basing
on the notifications of Qur’an and Rasulullah (s.a.w).
Dear readers, let’s listen to
these notifications. Let’s not perceive these words as the words of helpless
people like us who don’t avoid of saying lie for small world interests. Prophets didn’t say any lie in their lives. To
be truthful (sidk) is one of the main qualities of the prophethood. They were
warned by Allah personally, of whom they were messengers, even in the smallest
error. Allah allowed them to live every kind of life except for sins and
assigned them us as a guide. The life
of the prophets is a sample and symbolic life that will provide people to have
happy and peaceful life. To be subject to them by believing what they informed
us will lead us to salvation. That’s why we shouldn’t underestimate of their
notifications. We shouldn’t forget our Rab and life after death even
for a moment by drifting with the indoctrinations of global media. They try to
direct us constantly toward our nafs’s desires such as eating, drinking,
playing and enjoying. Even though the human
lives thousand years, eventually his life gets end with death and eventually he
reaches to his Rab. He gives account of his life, every attitude and every word
he uttered.
# The first halt of life after death
The first halt of life after death
is grave. Rasulullah (s.a.w) ordered that:
"Grave is the first of the ranges of life after death. The
other stages are easier for the one getting rid of this stage. The other stages
are more difficult for the one who couldn’t get rid of this stage." [Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja]
It is ordered that after the human
died and put in grave, two angels, namely Munkar and Nakir will come and ask
questions him about Rab, religion, and prophet; believer will answer these
questions correctly, but unbeliever won’t be able to. It is ordered in hadith that:
"After queries and answers, the angels of Munkar and Nakir say to dead Muslim
that, 'Look at your place in hell,
Allah changed your place and conferred you the place in heaven'. Dead Muslim
looks at and sees both of these places." [Bukhari]
As it has been comprehended from
the words of Rasulullah (s.a.w); grave is an previous application of the case
that will arise after doomsday occurrence and giving account; and it is either
one of the gardens in heaven or one of the holes in hell. It is ordered in
hadiths that:
"Grave is either a garden of Heaven or a hole of Hell." [Tirmidhi]
"The grave of a Muslim is a garden of Heaven." [Tirmidhi]
"In his grave, the Muslim is in a very green garden. It is
lightened such as the fourteenth day of moon.
The surah of 'Feinne lehü
me'îşeten danken' notifies unbelievers
the torment they will suffer. 99 tinnin torment unbelievers in their graves
until doomsday occurrence.” [Tirmidhi]
# The torment of the grave is a truth
The torment of the grave is one of
the issues to believe. It is informed in Beydavi's comment that:
"(We torment them twice)
was said in the 101th verse of Tauba surah of Quran. The one of these two torments is grave’s torment."
Rasulullah (s.a.w) ordered that:
"The torment of the grave is a truth." [Bukhari]
"Most of torment of grave will be due to urine splash." [I. Maja,
Nasai]
"Last night I dreamed that somebody was being distressed in his
grave. His salat came to rescue him from grave’s torment." [Hakim]
"If you could conceal, I would pray God for you to hear the
grave’s torment." [Muslim, I. Ahmad, Nasai]
"Take refuge with Allah for grave’s torment." [Muslim, I. Ahmad]
"Allah created some people to meet the needs of other people.
People consult them for their needs. These people are exempt from grave’s
torment." [Tabarani]
"The martyr is exempt from grave’s torment." [Ibn Maja, Bayhaqi]
# Those taken into heaven without giving account
It is ordered that some Muslims will
be taken to Heaven directly without any query:
"Those with patient and sincere in their religious exercises
are taken to Heaven directly without giving account." [Tabarani]
"Allah ordered that I had the promise to my servant. If he
performs his salat in time and thoroughly, I don’t torture him and I
take him to Heaven directly without giving account." [Hakim]
"The Muslim without arrogance, betrayal, and right
of servant, is taken directly to heaven without giving account." [I. Hibban]
"While people giving account on judgment day, an announcer
calls out three times that 'Those
with receivable from Allah, stand up and enter to Heaven'. Those hearing
that ask 'Who are those with receivable from Allah?' It is answered that 'Those forgiving people.' Upon this
word, thousands of people stand up, and enter to Heaven without any
query."
[Tabarani]
"Allah doesn’t ask any question to his servant exposed to
disaster, on judgment day." [Hakim]
# Occurrence of Doomsday
Dear Readers,
You will remember that, I
mentioned in my previous article about minor and major signs of doomsday. All
major signs except for Mahdi’s arise, and unbuilding of Kaaba, have been
included in the hadith that was informed by Muslim. So as to remind it, I give
it below:
"Unless following signs come true, the doomsday will not occur:
The sun will rise from west, three grounds will collapse, Jesus will descend
from the sky, the smoke, Dabbat-ul-arz, Antichrist, Gog and Magog and existence
of a great fire from Aden." [Muslim]
Surely, It is only Allah with
infinite knowledge and most accurate information about everything. However,
as a your helpless brother, I think that, the most significant sign of occurrence
of doomsday is rising of the sun from west, after the occurrence of the signs,
such as spreading of abuse, domination of bad people to the world, assuming
goodness as malignancy, malignancy as goodness. Because this will mean
alteration completely of the existing established order of this material world.
Rasulullah (s.a.w) ordered that after occurrence of this most important sign,
even people believe God, their faith is inadmissible:
"Unless the sun rises
from west, doomsday will not occur. Even if everybody believes in Allah at that
time, it will be useless." [Bukhari, Muslim]
"For unbelievers or hypocrites pretending as a believer, believing in Allah after these three things occurred will be useless: Rising of the sun from west, Dajjal and Dabbat al-ardh." [Tirmidhi]
# Resurrection
Doomsday will occur by being blown
of sûr by Israfil (a.s). It is ordered in the verses given below from Qur’an
that: All creatures in sky and on earth except for Allah wanted will die when
sûr is blown for the first time, after it is blown for the second time, all
creatures lived on earth since from the beginning of life will be resurrected
and will gather in the presence of Allah for giving account.
"The Trumpet will
(just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon,
except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be
sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on!" [Zumar, 68]
"And the Day that the
Trumpet will be sounded - then will be smitten with terror those who are in the
heavens, and those who are on earth." [Naml, 87]
"They will say: 'Ah! Woe
unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?'... (A voice will say:)
'This is what the Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the
messengers!'" [Yasin, 52]
Surely, occurrence of doomsday is a just horror moment. Even in this
world, established order, we have great trouble when temperature is above or
below 15 to 20 degree from our living standards.
Imagine the moment a whole layout has changed. This duration is
qualified in a verse from the Qur’an that:
But Rasulullah informed that: Length
of the day of doomsday will be felt as short as an obligatory salat by people
that Allah wants.
"Allah will make feel length of the day of doomsday as short as
an obligatory salat to his servants he wants."
[Bayhaqi]
# Gathering in the presence of Allah (Hashr)
After resurrection, all creatures
will gather in the presence of Allah for giving account.
"Assuredly it is thy Lord
Who will gather them together: for He is Perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge." [Hijr, 25]
"The trumpet shall be
sounded, when behold! from the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to their Lord!" [Yasin, 51]
"It will be no more than a
single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us!" [Yasin, 53]
"all shall come to Him in
utter humility." [Naml, 87]
Those who don't believe in God by
being unable to see him with their heart’s eye while living on earth, and not
mentioning him will gather in the life after death as a blind:
"On the Day of Judgment We
shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf: their
abode will be Hell:" [Isra, 97]
"But whosoever turns away
from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him
up blind on the Day of Judgment." [Ta-ha, 124]
# Good people will gather with good people, bad people will gather with bad people
Also, everybody will gather in the
presence of Allah with their sincere companions. Rasulullah ordered that:
"Person gathers in the presence of Allah with his sincere
companion. Those having sincerity with unbelievers will gather with
unbelievers. His good religious performance will not benefit him." [Tabarani]
The good people helping to the Muslims
will gather with prophets.
"Those helping the Muslim with word and walking one step for
him will doubtless gather in the presence of Allah with prophets in the
judgment day and gain the sawab (reward) of the
70 martyrs." [Hatib]
"The one with crowded household and insufficient livelihood and
performing his salat in accordance with its rules, and not criticizing the Muslim
maliciously will gather in the presence of Allah with me." [M. Masumiyya]
"The one informing Muslim community about forty hadiths
explaining haram and halal things for the consent of Allah will gather in the
presence of Allah as a scholar.” [Abu Nuaym]
There, everybody will be treated
according to their religious performance in the world.
"After getting out of grave, (according to the religious performance in the world) people will
gather in the presence of Allah with vehicle, pedestrian, creeping or face down." [Hakim]
I wish Rab to let us to stand
beside good people both in the world and in the Hereafter!
