What is the land of gathering and the resurrection?
Jerusalem
Allah says
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا [المعارج:4-10] الآية.
The angels and the spirit ascend to Him on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, So be patient with beautiful patience. Indeed, they see it far away, and we will see it soon, the day the sky will be filled with melted lead and the mountains will be like dyed and fluffy wool, and no intimate will ask another intimate.” [Al-Ma’arij: 4-10] The verse.
We benefit from the following noble verses:
1 - The angels and the archangel: Our master Gabriel - peace be upon him - ascend to God Almighty in a day whose duration is fifty thousand years, and someone might say: How can there be a day lasting 50,000 thousand years, and we say: Have you ever heard of the planet Mars and that it is suitable for habitation? Do you know how many hours there are in the day and night? It's 25 hours or 26 hours. Is it the only planet inhabited by people? The truth is that research is underway on other planets to try to live on them or discover them, for example, Venus, the hours of day and night there are about 36 hours - if my memory does not fail me - the witness: If we are talking about just planets in one path of the universe (the Milky Way), the clocks differ from one planet to another, and ascending via the electronic elevator will cost you no less than 6 full months of time, to go to another planet, which are heavens as wide as the heavens and the earth, and angels move at the speed of light, which is one of the fastest speeds that we know to this day, So what do you imagine when you and I calculate the hour of planet Earth, which is a planet from a group of planets, one path of the universe ( The milky way)!!!.
2 - So be patient, O Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and be patient, O caller to God, with beautiful patience. There is no complaint about not believing these words. They see it as far away, but as for God - the Almighty - with His vast knowledge and all the planets that He created, He is the one who set their times (He sees them as near).
3 - The day the sky will be formed: melted lead from its cracking and the horror of it reaching all levels.
4- The mountains will be like dyed and fluffed wool, these are unbelievable events with pen and paper, but modern science proves to us new things every day. Science has proven that the beginning of the universe was with the Big Bang, they imagined that the end of the universe would be like that as well, but the truth that they discovered after that: that the end of the universe would be with a loss of mass and not with a big bang, What this means is that a person who weighs 60 kilos is as lacking in mass as a atom, and a great mountain is like a piece of fluffy wool due to its thin weight, even a camel gets stuck in a needle because of the lack of mass, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.
The types of the gathering
The gathering of people is the gathering of people on the Day of Resurrection, and the gathering is four:
Two gathering in this world and two gathering in the afterlifeThe first cram
In His saying, God Almighty
((It is He who brought out those who disbelieved from the People of the Book, from their homes to the first of the crowd))
the second cram
The gathering mentioned in the signs of the Hour, as narrated by Muslim, may God have mercy on him, about the Hour: It will not come until you see ten signs before it,
The third cram
The dead will be gathered from their graves after being sent to the place where God Almighty said: And We gathered them together, and We did not leave any of them. Al-Kahf: 47
The forth cram
The people of the situation will be gathered to heaven or to hell
The types of people in the Gathering
On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered into three groups: a group walking, a group riding, and a group lying on their faces.)
1 - The walking class
Their exhausted will reach the level of their work.
2 - The riding class
What do they ride? They ride beautiful camels from Paradise, with a saddle of gold on them. No one knows their value except the one who prepared them, in the land of gathering.
Allah says
يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَفْداً [مريم:85]
On the Day when We will gather the pious to the Most Gracious as a delegation [Maryam: 85]
3 - The walk on their faces class
Allah says
الذين يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَـئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَاناً وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً [الفرقان:34
Those who will be gathered on their faces into Hell, those are in a worse place and more astray from the path. [Al-Furqan: 34]
Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated on the authority of Qatada on the authority of Anas that a man said to the Prophet: O Messenger of God, how will the infidel be gathered on his face on the Day of Resurrection? He said: ((Isn’t the one who made him walk on his feet in this world able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection?!))
As for the gathering, which will occur at the end of the world before the Hour comes
People will be expelled to the place of gathering - which is in the land of the Levant - by fire brought out by God Almighty, From the direction of Hadhramaut, from Aden to Abyan - as stated in the authentic hadith -then it will spread across the earth, and people will be gathered to the place of gathering - which is the Levant - and they will be gathered in different ways, As the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: People will be gathered in three ways: willing, fearful, two on a camel, three on a camel, four on a camel, and ten on a camel, and the rest of them will be gathered in the Fire. It will rest with them wherever they said, and spend the night with them wherever they stayed, and it will be with them in the morning wherever they are, and in the evening with them wherever they are. They will be gathered to the Holy House in the land of the Levant, as stated in the authentic hadith:
Fire emerges from Hadhramaut, gathering the people
We said: O Messenger of God, what do you command us to do? He said: You should go to the Levant, and what he said in the hadith: the desiring and the fearful: meaning they set off to escape from temptations to the land of the Levant at the end of the world, -as the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, and among them are those who remain in their place, and then after that, when temptations and calamities come, major earthquakes and lightning strikes abounded, then they go on camels and animals, two on a camel, and three and four on a camel, Some of them ride, others walk, and there are people left who didn't found a back: meaning to riding on it, As Ibn Masoud explained in what is authentically reported from him: God sends a pest, then backs ends, and the animals become less and less until they can walk, and the Fire will surround them, and whoever stays behind will be eaten by it, until they are gathered to the Levant, where there will be death for all the people of the earth before they are resurrected again, this gathering will occur at the end of the world, just before the Hour comes, with a fire that will come out and surround the people, You will gather them all to Jerusalem in the Levant, and after that there will be a thunderbolt in which all the people will die, then they will be sent again and spread, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, When Maimuna bint Saad asked him: “O Prophet of God, give us a fatwa in Bayt al-Maqdis, He said: The land of Al-Mahshar and Al-Manshar, an authentic hadith.
What is the resurrection?
Raising people from death to life again - reviving them -, and the gathering, He gathered them in that place, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: After he moved towards the Levant with his hand: You are surrounded, men and riders, and you are running on your faces.
The characteristics of the land of Mahshar
To which they will be gathered after they rise from the graves, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, described it, His saying in the authentic hadith: People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection on a white,Affraa land (i.e. not bright white, but rather tend to red) like a piece of bread free of adulteration and bran, there is no flags of anyone in it, it is level and there is no landmark in it for anyone: no sign of habitation, building, monument, mountain, or protruding rock, Rather, it is flat, as God Almighty said ((You will not see in it any crookedness or a high place. Ta-Ha: 107,)) They cannot hide behind anything in that land: as God Almighty said ((On the Day the Earth will be changed into another Earth. Abraham: 48)) God; He changes the land; He changes its features and changes its characteristics. so it will be flat, People will be gathered to it, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The earth will be stretched out on the Day of Resurrection, The extension of the earth to the greatness of the Most Gracious, so that no man among the children of Adam has in it except the place of his feet, Al-Busiri said: Its chain of transmission is authentic.
The characteristics of people in the Mahshar
All people will be gathered together on the Day of Resurrection. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: You will be gathered together barefoot, naked and unmarried, Aisha, may God be pleased with her, said: “O Messenger of God, are men and women looking at each other? He said: The matter is too severe for them to care about that barefoot: there is nothing on their feet, such as sandals, and they are naked: stripped of clothes, the uncircumcised: uncircumcised is the one whose foreskin remains, which is the foreskin - which is the skin that is cut off during circumcision, they will be gathered as they were created, nothing will be with them, nothing will be lost from them, even the foreskin will be with them, they will be gathered naked, barefoot, on foot, as stated in another hadith. Aisha said: “Men and women looking at each other? the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told her that they were busy and had no interest in this matter.
The types of people when gathered
The arrogant
They will be gathered like an atom in the images of men, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Humiliation will cover them from everywhere, just as they became arrogant in this world. God will make them look like men, but the size are the size of ants, the size of an atom, people step on them with their feet.
The infidels
They will be gathered blind on their faces
Allah says
((وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِيراً قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسَى طه:124-))126
((And whoever turns away from My remembrance will have a miserable life, nd We will gather him blind on the Day of Resurrection, He said, “My Lord, why have you gathered me blind when I used to see, He said, “Thus did our signs come to you and you forgot them, and thus are you forgotten today.” Ta-Ha: 124-))126
God said in another verse
((الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ أُولَئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكَاناً وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلاً الفرقان:34))
((Those who will be gathered on their faces to the Hell,those are in an evil place and more astray from the path. Al-Furqan:34))
On the authority of Anas, a man said: “O Prophet of God, how can an infidel be gathered on his face? the face is like the feet, so he walks on his face, face down, and his feet up, His face is attached to the ground, he walks on his face. He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: Isn’t the one who made him walk on his feet in this world able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection? Qatada said: “Yes, by the glory of our Lord,” and the infidel who does not prostrate to God in this world will be punished, To be drawn on his face on the Day of Resurrection to show his humiliation, so congratulations for abandoning prayer, The one who does not bow to Him, the one who does not prostrate to God, Lord of the worlds, the infidel will be gathered on his face, and he will walk on his face, His face is covered with dust, and he faces whatever he meets, They will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection blind, mute, and deaf.
The Devils
On knees
Allah says
(( فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَالشَّيَاطِينَ ثُمَّ لَنُحْضِرَنَّهُمْ حَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ جِثِيّاً مريم:68))
((By your Lord, We will certainly gather them and the devils then We will bring them kneeling around Hell, Mary: 68))
The immoral
Allah says
(( احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ الصافات:22-23))
((Gather together the wrongdoers and their ( wives/husbands) alike, And whatever they worship besides Allah, guide them to the path of Hell. (Al-Saffat: 22-23))
What is the meaning of their husbands? Meaning their likenesses and counterparts, And whoever is like them, the Jews will be gathered together, and the Christians together, and whoever loves the Jews and Christians will be gathered with them, The adulterers will be gathered with the adulterers, the bribe-takers with the bribe-takers, and the usurers with the usurers: each sect separately will be gathered with them, and whoever loves a people will be gathered with them, who is like them, who imitates them in their actions, the peers are gathered together, and what happens to one person falls on the other, and he gets his share of it.
The merchants
There was a specific hadith on the authority of Al-Baraa bin Azib, who said: “The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us to Al-Baqi’ and said: O community of merchants, Until when they had drunk - they raised their heads - the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The merchants will be gathered as ungodly people on the Day of Resurrection, except for those who are pious, righteous, and truthful.” Except for those who are pious in buying and selling, He did not sell forbidden things, nor did he sell in a forbidden way, nor did he cheat in his trade, He was righteous in his oath; Because they often swear to lie, this hadith contains clear evidence of the gathering of immoral merchants, many take advantage of people's condition through their greed, and many of them monopolize... they are one of the biggest reasons for raising prices in the country, for this reason they will be gathered together as ungodly people except those whom God has mercy on, for they will be honored with the safe and faithful.
The believers
Allah says
هُمْ مِنْ فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ النمل:89
They will be safe from the fear of that Day. An-Naml: 89
Allah says
((A Day whose duration is fifty thousand years)) [Al-Ma’arij: 4]
It was said: How long is this day? Said the Prophet, peace be upon him: By the one in whose my soul in His hands, it will be made easy for the believer, so, that it will be easier for him than a written prayer that he prays in this world.) [Narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih]
The usurers
You see a man setting off in the land of the gathering, unable to stand, unable to sit, his stomach is swollen, Flipping left and right, who is this? He is a usurer.
Allah says
ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلرّبَوٰاْ لاَ يَقُومُونَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَقُومُ ٱلَّذِى يَتَخَبَّطُهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسّ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ ٱلرّبَوٰاْ وَأَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ ٱلرّبَوٰاْ [البقرة:275].
Those who consume usury will not stand except as does one whom Satan causes to stumble because of his touch, this is because they said, “Trading is only like usury and God made trade lawful and forbade usury [Al-Baqarah: 275].
Eating orphans' money
You see a man setting off in the land of the gathering, surrounded by young children, pulling him and dragging him, and they relate to him, who is this? He unjustly consumes the wealth of orphans.
Allah says
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوٰلَ ٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ ظُلْماً إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ نَاراً وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيراً [النساء:10].
Indeed, those who unjustly devour the wealth of orphans, they only consume fire in their bellies, and they will burn in a burning fire [An-Nisa: 10].
The Monsters
Allah says
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ. التكوير
And behold, the beasts were gathered . Al taqueer.
That is: collected
Allah says
وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ الأنعام:38
And there is no living creature on the earth, nor any bird that flies with its wings except its nations like you, We have not neglected anything in the Book; then to their Lord they will gather the cattle: 38
Everything will be gathered, even flies, as Ibn Abbas said
Livestock, animals, and birds
He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: All creatures will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, the livestock, the animals, and the birds, and everything, it is God's justice to take for the group (that has no horns) from the horns, which has horns and gores others that do not have horns, God takes revenge on the one who has no horns, on the one who is thrown down, This is the perfection of God’s justice, then He says to these animals, birds, and beasts: Be dust, for that is when the unbeliever says: I wish I were dust. Al-Naba: 40
