LAST DAY

Q         Write short accounts of Muslim belief about Resurrection and the Last day.                                                                 [4-N-05]
Significance 
“Truly He who gives life to the dead earth can surely give life to men who are dead”.                                                                               [41.39]
Allah has created us and He knows what is right for us and what is wrong. Therefore Allah sent prophets and Books to guide human beings. Muslims believe that after our death, we will be given life again (Resurrection) and we will be accountable to God for our good and bad deeds. Accountability starts as soon as a person dies but the stages of the Day of Judgment are well defined in Sura Al Qariah and Sura Al Zilzaal.

The main events
On a normal day, Allah will decide to end this world. Angel Israfeel will blow the trumpet and the sound will create a horrible earthquake. Human beings will be in a panic like scattered moths and finally all will die. Mountains will become dust like carded wool (Al Qariah).

Earth will show its treasures but it will be too late to correct oneself. Man will be astonished at this behaviour of earth and say what is happening to it (Al Zilzaal). 
In the second stage, all human beings will be given life again. They will be divided into groups and they will be standing to answer their deeds (in the plain of Arafaat) (Al Zilzaal). Proves will be given about every good and every sin.  The smallest good and the smallest evil will be shown. Even this earth will become a witness in our favour or against us. There will be some kind of balance with which Allah will even judge our intentions.  The final judgment will be announced.

Those who will have the blessing of Allah, will be sent to paradise. They will be happy and the result will be in their right hand. Paradise is a place of unending bliss and pleasures. Those who will fail the examination,will have their result in the left hand and they will try to hide it. Hell is a place of blazing fire and unimaginable tortures. There will be no death in both the places.

[10-J-10] Q         Give an account of the Prophet’s life up to the time the revelations began. [10-Nov 14-2058/11] Mohammad (saw) was born in 571 AD in Makkah in the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quresh. This year was also known as the year of elephants because in this year the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked Makkah with the intention to destroy the holy Kaaba along with an army of elephants.

He had ten sons. Abdullah was the youngest son and a very handsome man. He married to Amina who was
