00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:05.780
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:14.289
The names of the Last Day in the Noble Qur'an and their implications.

00:00:14.289 --> 00:00:21.039
The Last Day has been called by numerous names in the Noble Qur'an.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.600
And described with many attributes.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:28.559
This reached approximately twenty-three names and descriptions.

00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.750
The multiplicity of names and descriptions for this Day is due to:

00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:34.509
Its immense significance.

00:00:34.509 --> 00:00:43.070
As is customary among Arabs to mention multiple names for things they hold in high regard, such as the sword and the lion.

00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:47.310
Thus, because the matter of the Last Day is so great and its horrors so numerous,

00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:53.310
The Qur'an has named it with many names and described it with many attributes.

00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:59.820
Among these are the First and Second: the Last Day and the Hereafter.

00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:03.979
The term "the Last Day" has appeared twenty-six times.

00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:07.659
And the term "the Hereafter" has appeared one hundred and ten times.

00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:09.980
And they both mean the same thing.

00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:13.900
The Last Day, because there is no day after it.

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:17.739
And the Hereafter, because there is nothing after it.

00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:22.219
It is the final stage of transitions that a person undergoes,

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:24.780
From non-existence to the womb of his mother,

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:27.500
Then emerging into worldly life,

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:29.420
Then the life of the grave (Barzakh),

00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:36.099
Then this Hereafter, in which one will dwell eternally, either in Paradise or in Hellfire.

00:01:36.099 --> 00:01:38.260
And among these verses are:

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.340
The saying of Allah the Almighty:

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:48.659
“And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not.” (2:8)

00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:50.659
And His saying the Almighty:

00:01:50.739 --> 00:01:59.890
“And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.” (2:4)

00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:02.049
The Third and Fourth:

00:02:02.049 --> 00:02:04.849
The Day of Judgment and the Day of Reckoning.

00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:07.170
And they both mean the same thing.

00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:10.530
For "Deen" (religion/judgment) is recompense and reckoning.

00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:14.770
The term "Yawm al-Deen" (Day of Judgment) has appeared thirteen times.

00:02:14.770 --> 00:02:18.770
And the term "Yawm al-Hisab" (Day of Reckoning) has appeared four times.

00:02:18.849 --> 00:02:21.330
This Day is so named

00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:28.159
Because a person is held accountable on it for their deeds in this worldly life and is recompensed accordingly.

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.159
Allah the Almighty said:

00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.560
Master of the Day of Judgment.

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.400
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.509
“This it is that ye are promised for the Day of Reckoning.” (38:53)

00:02:38.509 --> 00:02:39.789
The Fifth:

00:02:39.789 --> 00:02:41.710
The Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyamah).

00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:45.310
It has been mentioned seventy times in the Noble Qur'an.

00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:47.870
Including the saying of Allah the Almighty:

00:02:47.949 --> 00:02:50.830
“Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;” (75:1)

00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:54.030
And the chapter was named by this name.

00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:55.949
And the Day was named thus

00:02:55.949 --> 00:03:00.830
Because people will stand before the Lord of the worlds on that Day for their reckoning.

00:03:00.830 --> 00:03:02.909
As Allah the Almighty said:

00:03:02.909 --> 00:03:07.409
“The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?” (83:6)

00:03:07.409 --> 00:03:08.770
The Sixth:

00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:10.289
The Hour (al-Sa'ah).

00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:14.449
It has appeared thirty-five times in the Noble Qur'an.

00:03:14.449 --> 00:03:17.009
Including the saying of Allah the Almighty:

00:03:17.009 --> 00:03:22.370
“And unto Allah belongeth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and the matter of the Hour (of Doom) is but as a twinkling of the eye, or it is nearer still. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (16:77)

00:03:22.370 --> 00:03:26.610
Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

00:03:26.610 --> 00:03:29.490
And "al-Sa'ah" refers to the present time.

00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:32.449
It is so named because its coming is imminent.

00:03:32.449 --> 00:03:34.530
So it is as if it is present.

00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:36.889
And its arrival is sudden.

00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:38.930
As Allah the Almighty said:

00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:43.090
They ask you about the Hour: "When will be its appointed time?"

00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:46.650
“They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not.” (7:187)

00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:50.729
“They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not.” (7:187)

00:03:50.729 --> 00:03:53.569
“They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not.” (7:187)

00:03:53.569 --> 00:03:57.259
“They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to port. Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not.” (7:187)

00:03:57.259 --> 00:03:58.780
The Seventh:

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.490
The Approaching (al-Azzifah).

00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:02.650
Allah the Almighty said:

00:04:02.650 --> 00:04:04.889
The Approaching! What is the Approaching?

00:04:04.889 --> 00:04:08.729
Its implication is close to that of "al-Sa'ah."

00:04:08.729 --> 00:04:11.810
For "Azzifah" means it has drawn near and is close.

00:04:11.810 --> 00:04:15.889
It has also been mentioned with the addition of the word "Yawm" (Day).

00:04:15.889 --> 00:04:17.569
Allah the Almighty said:

00:04:17.569 --> 00:04:24.329
“Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor who will be heard.” (40:18)

00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:25.769
The Eighth:

00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:27.399
The Inevitable Event (al-Waqi'ah).

00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.639
Allah the Almighty said:

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.319
When the Inevitable Event occurs.

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.199
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.720
Then on that Day, the Inevitable Event will occur.

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.910
It is so named because its occurrence is certain.

00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:43.430
The Ninth:

00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:45.180
The Reality (al-Haqqah).

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:47.339
Allah the Almighty said:

00:04:47.339 --> 00:04:49.819
The Reality!

00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:52.300
What is the Reality?

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:56.379
“Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is!” (69:3)

00:04:56.379 --> 00:05:02.939
It is so named because what the deniers of it disbelieved in will be realized on that Day.

00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:04.339
The Tenth:

00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:06.779
The Overwhelming Calamity (al-Tammah al-Kubra).

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.060
Allah the Almighty said:

00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:14.459
“But when the great disaster cometh,” (79:34)

00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:15.860
It is said:

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:19.019
"Tamma al-amr" means the matter became overwhelming and dominant.

00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:21.459
Thus, the Resurrection is so named

00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:25.639
Because it overwhelms every dreadful event.

00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.439
The Eleventh:

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.279
The Stunning Cry (al-Sakhkhah).

00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.560
Allah the Almighty said:

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.639
Then when the Stunning Cry comes.

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.120
Meaning the cry of the Resurrection.

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.000
It is so named because it stuns the ears,

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.240
To the extent of making them almost deaf with its intensity.

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.920
The Twelfth:

00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.660
The Enveloper (al-Ghashiyah).

00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:53.120
Allah the Almighty said:

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.470
“Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?” (88:1)

00:05:56.470 --> 00:06:02.069
It is so named because it will cover people with its terror and overwhelm them.

00:06:02.069 --> 00:06:03.910
And among its implications is:

00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:10.470
The Fire enveloping the disbelievers, surrounding them from above and from beneath their feet.

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:12.230
Allah the Almighty said:

00:06:12.269 --> 00:06:17.110
“On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!” (29:55)

00:06:17.110 --> 00:06:21.430
“On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!” (29:55)

00:06:21.430 --> 00:06:23.269
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:06:23.269 --> 00:06:29.470
“Theirs will be a bed of hell, and over them coverings (of hell). Thus do We requite wrong-doers.” (7:41)

00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:31.269
The Thirteenth:

00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:32.870
The Striking Calamity (al-Qari'ah).

00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:34.509
Allah the Almighty said:

00:06:34.509 --> 00:06:35.949
The Striking Calamity!

00:06:35.949 --> 00:06:37.470
What is the Striking Calamity?

00:06:37.470 --> 00:06:40.550
“Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!” (101:3)

00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:42.310
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:06:42.310 --> 00:06:46.430
Thamud and 'Ad denied the Striking Calamity.

00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:51.149
It is so named because it strikes the hearts with its horrors.

00:06:51.149 --> 00:06:52.350
It is said:

00:06:52.350 --> 00:06:55.029
"Qaware' al-dahr" have afflicted them.

00:06:55.029 --> 00:06:57.930
Meaning its horrors and hardships.

00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:03.029
And all the following names are preceded by the word "Yawm" (Day).

00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:04.750
The Fourteenth:

00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:06.629
The Day of Regret (Yawm al-Hasrah).

00:07:06.629 --> 00:07:08.910
Allah the Almighty said:

00:07:08.910 --> 00:07:16.230
“And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.” (19:39)

00:07:16.230 --> 00:07:20.550
It is so named due to the intense regret of the servants on that Day.

00:07:20.550 --> 00:07:25.069
Whether it be the regret of the disbelievers for what they missed of faith in it,

00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:27.389
As in the previous verse,

00:07:27.389 --> 00:07:29.910
And as in His saying the Almighty:

00:07:29.910 --> 00:07:39.189
Lest a soul should say, "Oh, my regret for what I neglected in regard to Allah, although I was among the mockers."

00:07:39.189 --> 00:07:41.629
And other verses.

00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:48.910
Or even the regret of the believers for not having increased their good deeds and piety.

00:07:48.910 --> 00:07:50.629
The Fifteenth:

00:07:50.629 --> 00:07:52.310
The Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Ba'th).

00:07:52.310 --> 00:07:54.550
Allah the Almighty said:

00:07:54.589 --> 00:08:01.870
“But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.” (30:56)

00:08:01.870 --> 00:08:07.709
“But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know.” (30:56)

00:08:07.709 --> 00:08:13.699
And "al-Ba'th" refers to Allah's reviving of the dead and their spreading forth for reckoning.

00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:15.500
The Sixteenth:

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:17.420
The Day of Decision (Yawm al-Fasl).

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:19.699
Allah the Almighty said:

00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:23.579
“Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,” (78:17)

00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:25.540
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:31.259
“This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.” (37:21)

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:37.259
It is so named because Allah the Almighty will decide between His servants on that Day.

00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:39.019
Allah the Almighty said:

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:47.029
“Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.” (32:25)

00:08:47.029 --> 00:08:48.750
The Seventeenth:

00:08:48.750 --> 00:08:50.779
The Day of Meeting (Yawm al-Talaq).

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:53.139
Allah the Almighty said:

00:08:53.179 --> 00:09:00.820
“The Exalter of Ranks, the Lord of the Throne. He causeth the Spirit of His command upon whom He will of His slaves, that He may warn of the Day of Meeting,” (40:15)

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:04.659
Meaning the Day when all servants will meet.

00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:07.179
So the oppressor and the oppressed will meet.

00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:09.860
And the people of earth and the people of heaven will meet.

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:14.980
Rather, the weak creation will meet the Mighty Creator.

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:20.720
And every doer will meet with their deeds, whether good or evil.

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.519
The Eighteenth:

00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.559
The Day of Gathering (Yawm al-Jam').

00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.840
Allah the Almighty said:

00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:34.399
“And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden, and a host of them in the Flame.” (42:7)

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.159
“And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden, and a host of them in the Flame.” (42:7)

00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:43.210
“And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden, and a host of them in the Flame.” (42:7)

00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:45.009
And Allah the Almighty said:

00:09:45.009 --> 00:09:47.929
“The day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.” (64:9)

00:09:47.929 --> 00:09:50.809
That is the Day of Mutual Loss.

00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:54.570
So it is a Day when all people will be gathered.

00:09:54.570 --> 00:09:56.730
As Allah the Almighty said:

00:09:56.730 --> 00:10:01.769
“Lo! herein verily there is a portent for those who fear the doom of the Hereafter. That is a day unto which mankind will be gathered, and that is a day that will be witnessed.” (11:103)

00:10:01.769 --> 00:10:08.419
“Lo! herein verily there is a portent for those who fear the doom of the Hereafter. That is a day unto which mankind will be gathered, and that is a day that will be witnessed.” (11:103)

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:10.259
The Nineteenth:

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:12.179
The Day of Calling Out (Yawm al-Tunad).

00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:14.500
Allah the Almighty said:

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:19.539
“And, O my people! Lo! I fear for you a Day of Summoning,” (40:32)

00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:23.940
It is so named due to the abundance of calls that will occur on that Day.

00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:28.379
For each person will be called by their name for reckoning.

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:32.139
And the people of Paradise will call out to the people of Hellfire.

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:36.460
And the people of Hellfire will call out to the people of Paradise.

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:40.929
And the people of the Elevated Places will call out to each of them.

00:10:40.929 --> 00:10:42.370
The Twentieth:

00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:44.320
The Day of Promise (Yawm al-Wa'eed).

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.480
Allah the Almighty said:

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.440
And the Horn will be blown.

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.080
That is the Day of Promise.

00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.519
For it is the Day that Allah has promised the disbelievers and hypocrites.

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.200
With the torment therein and eternal dwelling in Hellfire.

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.919
And He has promised every wrongdoer and disobedient person reckoning for their injustice and disobedience.

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.879
And the reality of the promise

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.970
Is the notification of punishment for disobedience.

00:11:10.970 --> 00:11:13.090
The Twenty-First:

00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:15.049
The Day of Eternity (Yawm al-Khulood).

00:11:15.049 --> 00:11:17.370
Allah the Almighty said:

00:11:17.370 --> 00:11:19.809
Enter it in peace.

00:11:19.809 --> 00:11:22.669
That is the Day of Eternity.

00:11:22.669 --> 00:11:25.830
For people will dwell therein eternally without death.

00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:27.389
And in the hadith:

00:11:27.389 --> 00:11:30.950
Death will be brought in the form of a mottled ram.

00:11:30.950 --> 00:11:32.350
And it will be slaughtered.

00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:33.950
Then it will be said:

00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:37.750
"O people of Paradise, eternity, so no death!"

00:11:37.750 --> 00:11:41.750
"O people of Hellfire, eternity, so no death!"

00:11:41.750 --> 00:11:44.019
Agreed upon.

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:45.980
The Twenty-Second:

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:47.980
The Day of Coming Forth (Yawm al-Khurooj).

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:50.340
Allah the Almighty said:

00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:53.620
“The day when they will hear the (Awful) Cry in truth. That is the day of coming forth (from the graves).” (50:42)

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:56.340
That is the Day of Coming Forth.

00:11:56.340 --> 00:12:01.700
For it is the Day when people will come forth from their graves after hearing the cry.

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:04.659
Which is the second blowing of the Horn.

00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:07.820
They will come forth for reckoning and recompense.

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:10.019
As Allah the Almighty said:

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:13.419
“The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as racing to a goal,” (70:43)

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:18.039
“The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as racing to a goal,” (70:43)

00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.200
The Twenty-Third:

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.360
The Day of Mutual Loss (Yawm al-Taghabun).

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.720
Allah the Almighty said:

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.840
“The day when He shall gather you unto the Day of Assembling, that will be a day of mutual disillusion. And whoso believeth in Allah and doeth right, He will remit from him his evil deeds and will bring him unto Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph.” (64:9)

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.759
That is the Day of Mutual Loss.

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.120
For it is a Day of the gainer and the loser.

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.639
Meaning the winner and the loser.

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.480
The believers will gain by being saved from the Fire and entering Paradise.

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.000
And the disbelievers will lose by entering the Fire.
