[1:2-4] Some of the Unseen

...Rabb il-3alameen [1:2]   =  Lord [of] the-Worlds
a(l)-RaHman I(l)-RaHeem [1:3]  = the-Merciful the-Merciful 
Malik I(l)-Yowm I(l)-Deen [1:4] = King [of] the-Day [of] the-Judgement

"Lord of the Worlds" &
"King of Judgment Day"
are two more beautiful names of God.

This means there are some things which exist that are "unseen". 

• Worlds (plural) - does this mean dimensions? different size scales? different Universes?
• A Judgement Day (note: the Arabic word "yowm" is not a 24hour Day, but closer to the English word Era) - this is an era of time in the future that is said to last 50,000 years!

 

 

 There are many sayings of the Prophet (s.a.a.s.) about Judgement Day and it is very detailed. However, I shall summarise some major points about it:

• Angel Seraphiel (Israfeel) (a.s.) will be given the order to blow the Horn.  The Earth will shake so much that mountains will crumble and every soul will die. 
• The angel of death (a.s.) will be ordered to take the souls of all creatures, including the other angels
• finally the angel of death (a.s.) takes his own soul.
• Nothing will remain except the beautiful face of God The Majestic
• Then after a time, God The Creator will begin creating a new creation
• The angels are brought back except for the Angel of Death (a.s.)
• The Earth is rebuilt, except this time it has no landmarks or features (no mountains, etc) and is covered with a pink powder.
• A cloud of dew will descend on the ground and the bodies of all human beings who walked the earth will begin to grow like vegetables
• Angel Seraphiel (Israfeel) a.s. will be ordered to blow the Horn (second time) at which point all people will begin to resurrect.
• The first to resurrect is Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.s.) but he will already see prophet Moses (a.s.) out of his grave.
• All will be resurrected naked and the first to be clothed will be Prophet Abraham (a.s.)
• The martyrs will resurrect with their wounds and blood flowing but it shall be a symbol of honour and smell of musk
• The people who did ablution will see their heads, hands and feet shining white like a brown horse with white marks
• Those who did not believe in this life will be resurrected blind
• Those who were arrogant in this life will be resurrected tiny
• The waiting of Judgement will commence (50,000 years in total).
• In that time the Sun will be brought near so that it fills the sky
• Only a chosen few will be shaded on that Day
• Some will be elevated on columns of light
• Some will be allowed to fly
• There are three groups:  The people of the left, the people of the right, and the people who do not need judgment.
• The poor will be judged before the rich (since every coin must be accounted for)
• The first few questions one will be asked is:  What did you do with your time, knowledge, health and wealth.  Also about prayers.
