The types of accountability on the Day of Resurrection
1 - Between people
What is the first thing people will be held accountable for on the Day of Resurrection?
The blood
According to Al-Nasa’i: “The first thing for which a servant will be held accountable is his prayer, and the first thing that will be judged between people is bloodshed.”
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
venerated the matter of being exposed to people’s blood, It was mentioned in this hadith that the first thing that will be decided between people for their injustice to one another on the Day of Resurrection will be bloodshed, Like murder and wounds, sins are magnified according to the greatness of the harm they cause, or according to the loss of the interests related to their absence, and the destruction of the human structure is one of the greatest evils, there should not be anything greater than disbelief in God Almighty. It was stated in the Sunan from the hadith of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him: “The first thing by which a servant is called to account is prayer,” this is related to acts of worship and the rights of God Almighty, while making judgments about bloodshed is related to the rights of people over one another.
2- Between the servant and his Lord
The prayer
May God’s prayers and peace be upon him: The first thing a servant will be held accountable for is his prayer. If it is good, then he has succeeded and succeeded, and if it is bad, then he has failed and lost.
In the other narration:
If his prayer is accepted, all of his work is accepted, and if his prayer is rejected, all of his work is rejected
Peace be upon him: The covenant between us and them is prayer, so whoever abandons it has disbelieved.
And his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: Between a man and disbelief and polytheism is abandonment of prayer. It was included by Muslim in his Sahih.
3 - On the level of blessings
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (The first thing he will be asked about on the Day of Resurrection - meaning the servant - It is a blessing to be told: Did we not give you sound body for you and quench your thirst with cold water?
Second: How God will come for the reckoning?
First Hadith
Allah says
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا (22)
And your Lord and the angels will come, row upon row (22)
Musa bin Abdul Rahman told me, he said: Abu Usama told us, on the authority of Al-Ajlah, he said: I heard Al-Dahhak bin Muzahim saying: When the Day of Resurrection comes, God commands the lowest heaven to be filled with its inhabitants, and the angels therein descend, they surrounded the earth and those on it, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, then the fifth, then the sixth, then the seventh, so they lined up in a row without a row, then the Most High Angel descended on his left side, the Hell, If the people of the earth see it, they will call out: they will not come to any corner of the earth except that they will find seven rows of angels, and they will return to the place where they were. This is the saying of God:
وَيَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ (32) يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ (33)
O my people, I fear for you on the Day of Calling (32) On the day you turn away, you will have no protector from God, And whoever Allah misleads, he has no guide. (33)
And that is what he said:
( وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا وجيء يومئذ بجهنم )
(And your Lord and the angels will come, row upon row, and on that day He will be brought the Hell.)
And His said
( يا معشر الجن والإنس إن استطعتم أن تنفذوا من أقطار السماوات والأرض فانفذوا لا تنفذون إلا بسلطان )
(O community of jinn and mankind, if you are able to penetrate the regions of the heavens and the earth, so penetrate, you will not penetrate it except with authority.)
And His said
( وانشقت السماء فهي يومئذ واهية والملك على أرجائها )
(And the sky split open, and on that day it would be weak, And the king on its sides.)
The second Hadith
Ibn Bashar told us, he said: Muhammad bin Jaafar and Abdul Wahhab told us, they said: Awf told us, on the authority of Abu Al-Minhal, On the authority of Shahr bin Hawshab, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, that he said: If on the Day of Resurrection the earth will expand as long as everlasting earth, and such-and-such will increase in its capacity, He gathered the creatures in one level, made them jinn and made them human, and when that day came, they would be drained, this lower heaven is separate from its people on the face of the earth, and the people of heaven alone have more jinn and humanity than the people of earth, when they are scattered on the face of the earth, they are terrified by them and say: Is our Lord among you? then they become frightened by what they say and say: Glory be to our Lord, He is not among us, and He is coming, then the second heaven shrinks, and the people of the second heaven alone have more than the people of the lower heaven and of all the people of the earth due to the increases of their jinn and humans, when they are scattered on the face of the earth, the people of the earth will panic at them and say: Is our Lord among you? They are terrified by what they say and say: Glory be to our Lord, He is not among us, and He is coming, then the heavens drained, one sky by another. whenever a sky is drained of its inhabitants, it becomes twice as numerous as the inhabitants of the heavens below it and of all the inhabitants of the earth, when they are scattered on the face of the earth, the people of the earth will come to them, and they will say to them like that, and they will return to them like that, Until you judge the seventh heaven, for the people of the seventh heaven are more than the people of six heavens, and from all the people of the earth with drained
God will come upon them
and the nations kneeling in ranks, a herald calls out: Today you will learn of the people of generosity, so let those who give thanks to God in every situation, He said: Then they will rise and go to Paradise, then he will call for the second time: Today you will know from the owners of the generosity, where those whose sides used to avoid their beds are, they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, and do they spend from what We have provided them? So they go to heaven; Then he calls out the second: today you will learn from the generous owners: Where are those who are not distracted by trade or sale from remembering God, establishing prayer, and paying zakat, they fear a day when hearts and eyes will turn, then they will rise and go to Paradise. If three of these are taken, a neck will emerge from the Fire, He supervise the creatures, He has two eyes that see and an eloquent tongue, so he says: I have appointed three things from you: with every tyrant and stubborn person, He picks them from the rows like a bird picks sesame seeds, He will imprison them in Hell, then he will come out again and say: I have appointed among you those who have harmed God and His Messenger, and he will pick up sesame seeds from a bird, He will imprison them in Hell, then he will come out a third time. Auf said: Abu Al-Minhal said: I thought he was saying: I appointed the owners of the statues, and he picked them from the rows like birds picking sesame seeds, they will be imprisoned in Hell, and if three of these are taken, and three of these are taken, the newspapers were published, scales were drawn up, and creatures were called to account.
We benefit from the following hadith:
1 - The noble hadith contains a comparison between the people of Paradise and the people of Hell, It seems that the types mentioned in the hadith are the vanguard of the people of Paradise and the vanguard of the people of Hell.
2 - The first vanguard of the people of Paradise (those who praise in every case) and they are few in this life, so there are those among us who praise in good times, and few, or even fewer, willing themselves to praise in times of hardship, wars, and the like.
3 - As for the opposite: the vanguard of the people of Hell, the mighty and stubborn, and it is one of the beautiful names of God (attributes of majesty) in which God - the Almighty - does not like for anyone to dispute with Him, whoever had authority in this world, and therefore they are the first vanguard of the people of Hell, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.
The accounting rules on the Day of Resurrection
Allah says
(وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ)
(And We will set just balances for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be wronged in the slightest, Even if it is the weight of a mustard seed, we will bring it and it is sufficient for us as reckoners.)
The first rule
complete justice: God Almighty said
﴿ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا ﴾ [النساء: ٤٩]
(And they are not wronged fateel: (a thin thread)
The second rule
Everything that is calculated is written and calculated: Allah says
﴿ وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَـٰذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا ﴾ [الكهف:49]
And the Book was placed, and you will see the criminals apprehensive about what is in it, and they say, “Woe to us! What is the matter with this book? It does not leave out anything small or great, unless it counts it, and they will find present what they did, and your Lord will not wrong anyone. (Al-Kahf: 49)
The third rule
Do not bear the burden of another
Allah says
﴿ وَكُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنْشُورًا اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيبًا مَنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا وَلا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولا ﴾ [الإسراء:13-15].
And every human being We have bound his bird around his neck, and We will bring out for him on the Day of Resurrection a book that he will find spread out, read your book. Yourself is sufficient as a reckoner today, whoever is guided is guided only for himself, and whoever goes astray only goes astray against himself, no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden, And We will not punish until we send a Messenger.” [Al-Isra: 13-15].
The fourth rule
God Almighty has no excuse for His creation:
Allah says
﴿ يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُحْضَرًا وَمَا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ أَمَدًا بَعِيدًا وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ وَاللَّهُ رَءُوفٌ بِالْعِبَادِ ﴾[آل عمران:30].
On the Day when every soul will find present whatever good it has done in front of it, and whatever evil it has done, it wishes that there were a long period of time between it and it, and God Himself warns you, and God has clemency to His servants” [Al Imran: 30]..
The fifth rule
Double the good deeds:
Allah says
﴿ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلا يُجْزَى إِلا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴾ [الأنعام:160].
“Whoever brings a good deed will have ten like it, and whoever brings an evil will not be recompensed except the like of it, and they will not be wronged.” [Al-An’am: 160].
The sixth rule
Replace the bad deeds with good deeds
Allah says
﴿ إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّـهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّـهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴾ [الفرقان:70]
“Except he who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, that is God turns their evil deeds into good deeds, and God is Forgiving, Merciful.” [Al-Furqan: 70]
The seventh rule
The standing of witnesses against people
(Witnesses of the angels - testimony of the prophets and messengers - testimony of the nation of Muhammad to the creation - testimony of Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace to his nation - testimony of the earth to what happened on it - testimony of the limbs to their owner - testimony of the soul - The greatest testimony: The testimony of God Almighty to the servant.)
The eighth rule
The establishing the scale and weighing the actions
Allah says
وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ (47)
And We will set just scale for the Day of Resurrection, Let no soul be wronged at al, and if it is the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it to you - and it is sufficient for us as reckoners. (47)
The attribute of reckoning on the Day of Resurrection
There are two types of reckoning on the Day of Resurrection:
An easy reckoning.. and a difficult reckoning.. and honor.. and reprimand.. and justice.. and pardon.. and concealment and scandal.
First: the easy calculation
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, that the Messenger of God said: “No one will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection except that he will perish.”
. So I said: O Messenger of God, did not God Almighty say: {But as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will be given an easy reckoning, the Messenger of God said: “That is only the presentation, “And no one will discuss the reckoning on the Day of Resurrection except that he will be punished.” agreed.
On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, may God be pleased with them, he said: “I heard the Messenger of God say: “God brings the believer close to him, and places upon him His protection and veils him. He says: Do you know such-and-such's sin? Do you know such-and-such's sin? So he says: Yes, Lord, even if He confesses his sins to him, And he saw in himself that he had perished. He said: I will protect you from this in the world, and I forgive you today, and he will be given a book of his good deeds. As for the disbeliever and the hypocrite, The witnesses say: “These are the ones who lied about their Lord. Indeed, the curse of God is upon the wrongdoers.” agreed.
His family discusses the account, and they are asked about everything they did.
These are the infidels and polytheists, and some Muslims who commit major sins.
God Almighty said: {And if you had seen, when they stood before their Lord, He said: Is not this the truth? They said, “Yes, by our Lord.” He said, “So taste the torment because you disbelieved.” [30]} [Al-An’am: 30].
Allah says
يَامَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنْذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ [130]} [الأنعام: 130].
O community of jinn and mankind, did not messengers from among you come to you narrating to you My verses, and they warn you of the meeting of this day of yours. they say, “We testified against ourselves and they were deceived by the life of this world, and they bore witness against themselves that they were disbelievers [130]} [Al-An’am: 130].
Allah says
{فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [92] عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ [93]} [الحِجر: 92- 93].
{By your Lord, We will certainly question them all [92] about what they used to do [93]} [Al-Hijr: 92-93].
Allah says
{الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ [65]} [يس: 65].
{Today We seal their mouths, and their hands speak to Us, and their feet bear witness of what they used to earn. [65]} [Yasin: 65].
The bridge for redressing the grievances
The book show
Allah says
وقال الله تعالى: {وَتَرَى كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَى إِلَى كِتَابِهَا الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ [28] هَذَا كِتَابُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ [29]} [الجاثية: 28- 29].
And God Almighty said: {And you will see every nation bowing down, every nation called to its book. Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do. [28] This is Our Book that speaks to you with the truth. Indeed, we recopy what you used to do [29]} [Al-Jathiya: 28-29].
Allah says
{وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ [69] وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ [70]} [الزُّمَر: 69- 70].
{And the earth shone with the light of its Lord, and the Book was established, and the prophets and martyrs are come, and it was decided between them with truth, and they will not be wronged. [69] And every soul has been fully repaid for what it has done, and He knows best what they do [70]} [Az-Zumar: 69-70].
Allah says
وقال الله تعالى: {يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ [6] فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ [7] وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ [8]} [الزلزلة: 6- 8].
And God Almighty said: {On that day the people will disperse in dispersal so that their deeds will be seen [6] So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it [7] and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it [8]} [Al-Zalzalah: 6-8].
Who is the first nation to be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection?
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “We are the last to precede the Day of Resurrection.” agreed.
The types of people on the Day of Resurrection (3 types)
1- Whoever enters Paradise without judgment or punishment
These will enter Paradise without judgment or punishment, and they are seventy thousand of this nation, and people of perfect faith and piety, The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, explained to them the description of these people, saying: (They are those who do not seek ruqyah, They are not pessimistic, nor do they seek ironing, but they put their trust in their Lord.)
And the narration
(They do not perform ruqyah), although it is in Sahih Muslim, it is an anomalous narration, Because the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, performed ruqyahs and ordered it, and Gabriel performed ruqyahs, so this narration is wrong, some scholars escaped, From the narrator’s illusion or the statement that the narration is abnormal, they say: (They do not perform ruqyah), meaning: They do not perform ruqyah with illegal ruqyah, and this is false talk, Likewise, “they shall not be enslaved” we must stipulate conditions for it, which are: that it be a legal ruqyah.
- Whoever is held accountable will then enter Paradise.
These are the general believers and disobeyers of the monotheists after God pardoned their sins, Or their purification in Hell and then their exit to Paradise.
Third: Those who are held accountable and whose deeds are presented to them as a rebuke:
3- Whoever enters the fire directly
These are the infidels and polytheists.
They vary in torment, and whoever has good deeds will have his torment lightened, but he will not enter Paradise
{وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَاوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا [49]} [الكهف: 49].
{And the Book was placed, and you will see the criminals apprehensive about what is in it, And they say, “Woe to us, why does this book not leave out anything small or great, unless He counts them, and they will find present what they did, and your Lord will not wrong anyone [49]} [Al-Kahf: 49].
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in what he narrated on the authority of God, Blessed and Most High, He said: “...O My servants! It is only your deeds that I account for you, Then I will repay you in full, so whoever finds good, let him praise God, and whoever finds other than that should blame no one but himself.” Narrated by Muslim.
