To remind people of the establishment of the Hour and their resurrection from
their graves to the gathering for the Day of Judgment, Allah says:
[وَيَوْمَ
يَحْشُرُهُمْ]
(And on the Day when He shall gather (resurrect) them.) Similarly Allah said:
[كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ
يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُواْ إِلاَّ سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍ]
(On the Day when they will see that (torment) with which they are promised
(threatened, it will be) as if they had not stayed more than an hour in a single
day.)[46:35] Allah also said:
[كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ
يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُواْ إِلاَّ عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَـهَا ]
(The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world)
except an afternoon or a morning.) [79:46]
[يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى
الصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمِئِذٍ زُرْقاً - يَتَخَـفَتُونَ
بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ عَشْراً - نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ يَوْماً ]
(The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We
shall gather the criminals, blue eyed. They will speak in a very low voice to
each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days).'' We know very well
what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say:
"You stayed no longer than a day!'') [20:102-104] and,
[وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ
السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُواْ غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ]
(And on the Day that the Hour will be established, the criminals will swear
that they stayed not but an hour.)[30:55] These all are evidence of the brevity
of the worldly life compared to the Hereafter. Allah said:
[قَـلَ كَمْ
لَبِثْتُمْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ - قَالُواْ لَبِثْنَا يَوْماً أَوْ بَعْضَ
يَوْمٍ فَاسْأَلِ الْعَآدِّينَ - قَالَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً لَّوْ
أَنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ]
(He (Allah) will say: "What number of years did you stay on earth'' They will
say: "We stayed a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep account.'' He
(Allah) will say: "You stayed not but a little, if you had only known!'')
[23:112-124] Allah then said:
[يَتَعَارَفُونَ
بَيْنَهُمْ]
(They will recognize each other) The children will know their parents and
relatives will recognize one another. They will know them just like they used to
know them during the life in this world. However, on that Day everyone will be
busy with himself. Allah then said:
[فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى
الصُّورِ فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ]
(Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among
them.)[23:101] Allah also said:
[وَلاَ يَسْـَلُ
حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً ]
(And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition).)[70:10] Allah then
said:
[قَدْ خَسِرَ
الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهْتَدِينَ]
(Ruined indeed will be those who denied the meeting with Allah and were not
guided.) This is similar to the Ayah:
[وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ
لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ]
(Woe that Day to the deniers.)[77:15] Woe to them because they will lose
themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. That is indeed the
great loss. There is no loss greater than the loss of one who will be taken away
from his dear ones on the Day of Grief and Regret.
[وَإِمَّا
نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا
مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَى مَا يَفْعَلُونَ - وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ
رَّسُولٌ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لاَ
يُظْلَمُونَ ]
(46. Whether We show you some of what We promise them (the torment), or We
cause you to die -- still unto Us is their return, and moreover Allah is Witness
over what they used to do.) (47. And for every Ummah there is a Messenger; when
their Messenger comes, the matter will be judged between them with justice, and
they will not be wronged.)
