(Ref: The Great Resurrection of Sheikh Omar Suleiman al-Ashkar – May God rest his soul – )
1.Allah describes that day as a great day, so it is greater than we imagine, as He described it elsewhere that it is a heavy day, and in a third place with hardship.
(Do such people not think that they will be resurrected, for a tremendous Day – the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds —?) Al-Mutafiffin 83: 4-6
( Surely those ˹pagans˺ love this fleeting world, ˹totally˺ neglecting a weighty Day ahead of them.) Al-Insan 76: 27
( that will ˹truly˺ be a difficult Day— far from easy for the disbelievers) Al-Muddathir 74: 9-10
2. People will be terrified and panic greatly, and the mother who sacrifices herself for her child, on that day will be oblivious to her child, the pregnant woman will have a miscarriage, and people are like the drunks who lost their minds.
(O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ˹violent˺ quaking at the Hour is surely a dreadful thing. The Day you see it, every nursing mother will abandon what she is nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ˹prematurely˺. And you will see people ˹as if they were˺ drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ˹terribly˺ severe.) Al-Hajj 22: 1-2
3 The eyes of the disbelievers will bulge out, i.e., they will not blink due to the intensity of terror, and they won’t turn left nor right, because of the intensity of fear, their hearts become empty, and they won’t know nor comprehend anything.
(Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void.) Ibrahim 14: 42-43
The hearts of the oppressors will rise to their throats, but they do not leave their bodies nor go back to their place, and people are silent, and they cannot express their fear, and hearts and eyes will change from the nature they are today.
(Warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the approaching Day when the hearts will jump into the throats, suppressing distress. ) Ghafir 40:18
(They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble,) An-Nur 24: 37
(˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺, with their eyes downcast.) An-Naziat 79: 8-9
The little boy who didn’t commit any crime, got his head grayed from the horrors he sees.
( If you ˹pagans˺ persist in disbelief, then how will you guard yourselves against ˹the horrors of˺ a Day which will turn children’s hair grey? It will ˹even˺ cause the sky to split apart. His promise ˹of judgment˺ must be fulfilled.) Al-Muzzamel 73: 17-18
3 Relationships of descent and kinship are broken, and every human being on that day will care only about himself, and he does not pay attention to others.
And the human being escapes those most beloved to him; his brother, his mother, his father, his friend and his sons. (Then, when the Deafening Blast comes to pass— on that Day every person will flee from their own siblings, and ˹even˺ their mother and father, and ˹even˺ their spouse and children. For then everyone will have enough concern of their own.) Abasa 80: 33-37
(O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.) Luqman 31: 33
(Guard yourselves against the Day on which no soul will be of help to another. No intercession1 will be accepted, no ransom taken, and no help will be given.) Al-Baqara 2:48
(Then, when the Trumpet will be blown,1 there will be no kinship between them on that Day, nor will they ˹even care to˺ ask about one another.) Al-Mu’minun 23: 101
4 The infidels on that day would be willing to do everything in their power to free themselves from the torment; if they owned all what is on earth they would be willing to redeem it even if were the amount of the whole earth filled with gold. And assuming they could do that, Allah would not accept it. On that day the disbeliever would wish that he could throw his dearest people into the fire to survive the torment.
(If every wrongdoer were to possess everything in the world, they would surely ransom themselves with it..) Yunus 10: 54
(As for those who do not respond to Him, even if they were to possess everything in the world twice over, they would certainly offer it to ransom themselves. They will face strict judgment, and Hell will be their home).Al-Ra’ad 18: 13
(Indeed, if each of those who disbelieve then die as disbelievers were to offer a ransom of enough gold to fill the whole world, it would never be accepted from them. It is they who will suffer a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.)Al-Imran 3: 91
(˹although˺ they will be made to see each other. The wicked will wish to ransom themselves from the punishment of that Day by their children, their spouses, their siblings, their clan that sheltered them, and everyone on earth altogether, just to save themselves. But no! There will certainly be a raging Flame) Al-Ma’arej 70: 11- 15
5 It will be a very long day, and because of that, people would think that on the day of the meeting, they stayed on earth only an hour, and man would see that his life on earth was so short.
(˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length. So endure ˹this denial, O Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience. They truly see this ˹Day˺ as impossible,) Al-Ma’arej 70: 4- 7
(On the Day He will gather them, it will be as if they had not stayed ˹in the world˺ except for an hour of a day) Yunus 10: 45
(On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning.) An-Nazi’at 79: 46
(We know best what they will say—the most reasonable of them will say, “You stayed no more than a day.”) Taha 20:104
(And on the Day the Hour will arrive, the wicked will swear that they did not stay ˹in this world˺ more than an hour. In this way they were always deluded ˹in the world˺.) Ar-Rum 30: 55
(He will ask ˹them˺, “How many years did you remain on earth?” They will reply, “We remained ˹only˺ a day or part of a day. But ask those who kept count.” He will say, “You only remained for a little while, if only you knew.) Al-Mu’minun 23: 112-114
(المرجع: القيامة الكبرى للشيخ عمر سليمان الأشقر -رحمه ﷲ-)
أولاً
وصفُ ﷲ لذلك اليوم بالعظم، وحسبنا أن ربنا العظيم قد وصفه بذلك، ليكون أعظم مما نتصور، وأكبر مما نتخيل كما وصفه في موضع آخر بالثقل، وفي موضع ثالث بالعسر
قال ﷲ تعالى: (ألَا يظن أولئكَ أَّنهم َّ مبـعوثونَ – ليـوْم عَظِيمٍ – يـوْمَ يـقُومُ النَّاسُ لربِّ العَالمِينَ) المطففين 83: 4-6
(إَّ ن هَؤلَا ء يُحِبُّونَ العَاجِلةَ وَيذَرونَ وَراءهُمْ يـوْمًا ثقِيلًا)
الإنسان 76: 27
(فذَلكَ يـوْمَئذٍ يـوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ – عَلى الكَافرينَ غيْرُ يسِيرٍ)
المدثر 74: 9- 10
ثانيا: يصيب الناس رعب وفزع شديد فالمرضع التي تفدي وليدها بنفسها تذهل عنه في ذلك اليوم، والحامل تسقط حملها، والناس يكون حالهم كحال السكارى الذين فقدوا عقولهم
( يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿
يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَارَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ الحج 22: 1-2.
ثالثا: شخوص أبصار الظلمة في ذلك اليوم -أي: لا تطرف – لشدة الرعب، ولا يلتفتون يميناً ولا شمالاً، لشدة الخوف تصبح أفئدتهم خالية لا تعي شيئاً ولا تعقل شيئاً
( وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ ﴿
﴾ مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۖ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ)
إبراهيم 14: 42-43
ترتفع قلوب الظالمين لشدة الهول إلى حناجرهم، فلا تخرج، ولا تستقر في مكا نها ويسكت الناس فلا يستطيعون لشدة الخوف التعبير عما في نفوسهم، بل إن القلوب والأبصار تتبدل عن طبيعتها التي هي عليها اليوم.
( وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَاظِمِينَ ۚ )
غافر 40: 18
(يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْأَبْصَارُ )
النور 24: 3
وقال: (قـلوبٌ يـوْمَئذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ – أبصَارهَا خَاشِعَةٌ) النازعات 79 : 8 – 9
الوليد الصغير الذي لم يرتكب جرماً يشيب شعر رأسه لشدة ما يرى من أهوال
( كَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا)
المزمل 73 : 17 – 18
ثالثا: تنقطع علاقات النسب والقرابة فكل إنسان في ذلك اليوم لا يهتم إلا بنفسه، ولا يلتفت إلى غيره.ويهرب الإنسان من أحب الناس إليه، من أخيه وأمه وأبيه وصاحبته وبنيه
قال تعالى: ( فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ – يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ - وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ – وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ - لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ)
عبس 33:80- 37
وقال تعالى: ( يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَاخْشَوْا يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِي وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ) لقمان 31: 33
:وقال تعالى
(وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا لَّا تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَن نَّفْسٍ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَلَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ)
البقرة 2 :48
وقال تعالى: (فإِذا نفِخَ في الصورِ فلَا أنسَابَ بـيـنـهُمْ يـوْمَئذٍ ولَا يـتسَاءلونَ) المؤمنون 23: 101
رابعًا: استعداد الكفار في ذلك اليوم أن يبذل كل شيء في سبيل الخلاص من العذاب، فلو كانوا يملكون ما في الأرض لافتدوا به بل لو كان للكافر ضعف ما في الأرض لافتدى به بل هو على استعداد أن يبذل ما عنده ولو كان ملء الأرض ذهباً، وعلى احتمال أن كان الأمر كذلك، فإن ﷲ لا يقبل منه. ويصل الحال به في ذلك اليوم أن يتمنى لو دفع أعز الناس عنده في النار لينجو هو من العذاب
( وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفْسٍ ظَلَمَتْ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ لَافْتَدَتْ بِهِ ۗ)
يونس 10 :54
(وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يسْتجِيبواْ لهُ لوْ أَّ ن لَهم َّ ما فِي الأرْضِ جَمِيعا وَمِثـلهُ مَعهُ لَافـتدَوْاْ بهِ أوْلئكَ لَهمْ سُوءُ الْحسَابِ)
الرعد 13: 18
( إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْ أَحَدِهِم مِّلْءُ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَبًا وَلَوِ افْتَدَىٰ بِهِ ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ)
آل عمران 3: 91.
( يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ – وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ - وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيه-وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ – كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ )
المعارج 70 :11- 15
خامسًا: أنه يوم طويل ولطول ذلك اليوم يظن الناس في يوم المعاد أ نهم لم يلبثوا في الحياة الدنيا إلا ساعة من نهار، حتى إن الإنسان لشدة ذلك الطول يستقصر الحياة .
قال تعالى: ( تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ﴿٤﴾ فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا ﴿٥﴾ إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا ﴿٦﴾ وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا)
المعارج 70: 4-7
قال تعالى: ( وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ النَّهَارَِ) يونس 10: 45
كقوله: ( كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا) النازعات 79: 46
وقال تعالى: (نَحْنُ أعْلمُ بما يـقُولونَ إذْ يـقُولُ أمْثـلهُمْ طريقَةً إن لَّبثـتمْ إَّ لا يـوْمًا) طه 20: 104
وقال تعالى: (وَيـوْمَ تـقُومُ الساعَةُ يـقْسِمُ المُجْرمُونَ مَا لبثوا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ) الروم 30: 55
كقوله: (قالَ كَمْ لبثـتمْ فِي الْأرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنينَ – قالوا لبثْـنا يـوْمًا أوْ بـعْضَ يـوْم فاسْألْ العادِّينَ – قالَ إن لَّبثـتمْ إَّ لا قليلًا لَّوْ أنَّكُمْ كُنتمْ تـعْلَمُونَ) المؤمنون 23: 112- 114
