As-Soor or The Blowing

Opinions

1. Majority say it will be blown 3 times

2. Some say 2 times

3. Qadhi ‘Iyaad says 4 times


Opinions :: Majority say it will be blown 3 times

Al-Imam at-Tabari reports in his book of tafseer the hadeeth of Abu Hurairah (ra) in which Prophet saw) said, “ The Trumpet will be blown three times. The first one is the Blow of terror, the second is the Blow of Death and the third is the Blowing of Resurrection to stand before the Lord of the Worlds. Allah will command Israfeel to blow the first blow and will say, “ Blow Nafkhat al-Faza,” so all in the heavens and the earth will be terrified except those whom Allah saves. The Abu Hurairah asked, “Who are those meant in the ayah, “And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allah wills. And all will come to Him humbled. [Sahih Internationa; Surah An-Naml 27, Ayat 87] “ Prophet (saw) said, “These are the martyrs. That terror will fall upon all the living, and martyrs are alive with their Lord, but Allah will save them from that terror.” The Allah will command Israfeel to blow the Blow of Death by saying “Blow Nafkhat as-Sa’q”, and all that is in the heavens and the earth will die.


Opinions :: Some say 2 times This opinion considers the “Blow of Terror” and the “Blow of Death” as

one.

Sahih International: And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on. [ Surah Az-Zumar 39, Ayat 68 ]

The hadith of Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Al’As, “And then the Trumpet will be blown. The first one who hears it will be a man repairing his water basin. As soon as he hears it he will die and then all other will die. Then the Trumpet will be blown again, and they will all be resurrected, looking around.” [ Mentioned by al-Qurtubi ]


Opinions :: Qadhi ‘Iyaad says 4 times

This opinion is of al-Qadhi ‘Iyad The first will kill everything that is alive at the time. The second will

resurrect everyone. Then will come Nafkhat as-Sa’q, which will cause everyone one the Land of Resurrection to die [fall unconscious]. The fourth blow will raise everyone.

The Prophet (saw) said, “ People yus’aqoon (will die / fall unconscious) and I will be the first to get up. I will see Musa(a) holding on to the Throne. I will not know whether he awoke before me, or whether he was spared the Sa’qah because of the incident at at-Toor.” [ Sahih al-Bukhari ]

Intercession

Hadith in Muslim :: Qatada related from Anas that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah will gather people on the Day of Rising like that and they will say, 'We should look for someone to intercede with our Lord to relieve us from this place where we are!' They will go to Adam and say, 'You are one whom Allah created with His hand, to whom His angels prostrates and He taught you the names of all things. Intercede on our behalf with your Lord to relieve us from this place where we are!' He will say, 'I am not worthy of this task,' and he will mention his error and say, 'Go to Nuh. He is the first Messenger that Allah sent to the people of the earth.' They will go to Nuh and he will say, 'I am not worthy of this task,' and he will mention his error and say, 'Go to Ibrahim, he friend of the All-Merciful.' They will go to Ibrahim and he will say, 'I am not worthy of this task,' and he will mention the errors he made. 'Go to Musa, a slave to whom Allah gave the Torah and to whom He spoke directly.' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not worthy of this task,' and he will mention the error which he made and will say, 'Go to 'Isa, His slave and messenger, His word and spirit (ruh).' They will go to 'Isa and he will say, 'I am not worthy of this task, Go to Muhammad, a slave whose past and future wrong actions Allah has forgiven.' …….. (continued)

Intercession

Hadith in Muslim :: They will come to me and I will go to ask permission from my Lord and permission will be given to me. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then I will be told, 'Raise your head, Muhammad. Speak and it will be heard. Ask and you will be given. Intercede and intercession will be granted.' I will lift my head and praise Him with praises which my Lord will teach me. Then I will intercede and He will fix an amount for me and I will let them into the Garden. Then I will return and when I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration and He will leave me as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then I will be told, 'Raise your head, Muhammad. Speak and it will be heard. Ask and you will be given. Intercede and intercession will be granted.' I will lift my head and praise Him with praises which my Lord will teach me. Then I will intercede and He will fix an amount for me and I will let them into the Garden. Then I will return and say, "O Lord, only those remain in the Fire whom the Qur'an has held and for whom being in it for ever is obliged."' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Anyone who said, "There is no god but Allah" and has the weight of a grain of barley of good in his heart will come out of the Fire. Then anyone who said "There is no god but Allah" and has the weight of a grain of what of good in his heart will come out of the Fire. Then anyone who said "There is no god but Allah" and has the weight of a small ant of good in his heart will come out of the Fire.'" [ Bukhari ] Prophet (saw) said, “Al-Madeenah is better for them if they only knew. No one will leave it [due to not desiring it ] without Allah replacing him with something better than he. No one will be patient despite its difficulties, but that I will be an intercessor [or witness] for him on the Day of Resurrection.”

All the people will brought forth before Allah Sahih International : And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm. And the angels

are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed. So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record! Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account. "So he will be in a pleasant life –In an elevated garden, Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near. [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past." But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record And had not known what is my account. I wish my death had been the decisive one. [ Surah al-Haqqah 69, Ayat 16 – 27 ]

Book of deeds will be given out Sahih International: And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will

produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open. [It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant." [ Surah al-Isra 17, Ayat 13 – 14 ]

Sahih International: Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price – those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment. [ Surah al-Baqarah 2, Ayat 174 ]

Al-Hawd :: The Pool

Al-Hawd will quench thirst :: Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd :: I heard the Prophet saying, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar), and whoever will come to it, will drink from it, and whoever will drink from it, will never become thirsty after that. There will come to me some people whom I know and they know me, and then a barrier will be set up between me and them." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri added that the Prophet further said: "I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me! "

Description of al-Hawd :: 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (Ra), reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: My Hawd (River in Paradise) (is as wide and broad that it requires) a month's journey (to go round it) all, and its sides are equal and its water is whiter than silver, and its odor is more fragrant than the fragrance of musk, and its jugs (placed round it) are like stars in the sky; and he who drinks from it will never feel thirsty after that.

As-Siraat :: The Bridge

It is the bridge placed over Hellfire, over which the Muslims will pass to enter Jannah Sahih International: And there is none of you except he

will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed. Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees. [ Surah Maryam 19, Ayat 71 – 72 ]

Sahih International: Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire [ Surah as-Saffat 37, Ayat 23 ]

As-Siraat :: The BridgeDescription of As-Siraat

Aysha (Ra) narrates that the Prophet (saw) said, ‘Hellfire has a bridge that is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword. On it are hooks and thorns that will take whomsoever Allah wills.” [ Ahmad ]

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said, “We asked the Prophet (saw), “What is the Bridge?”, He (saw) replied, “It is slippery and has hooks and thorns…” [ Bukhari ]

As-Siraat :: The BridgeCrossing of Siraat

The Sirat Bridge will be set over Hell. The first prophet who will cross it with his nation will be I. [Bukhari]

On the Day of Resurrection I will stand by the side of the Sirat Bridge and wait for my nation to cross it. Allahu ta'ala will say, "Ask for whatever you want. Intercede for whomever you wish, for your intercession will be accepted." After interceding for my nation, I will continue entreating, and I will not rise to my feet until He says, "Put all people into Paradise who said La ilaha ill-Allah once with ikhlas and died with faith. [Imam-i Ahmad]

Crossing the Sirat Bridge depends on everybody's light. Some will cross it in the twinkling of an eye; some, like lightning; some, like a falling star; some, like a running horse. He who has very little light will creep facedown. His hands and feet will slip, and he will cling to it again. At long last, he will break free from it by creeping and creeping. [ Tabarani ]

Sahih International: On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], "Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally." That is what is the great attainment. On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, "Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light." It will be said, "Go back behind you and seek light." And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment. [ Surah al-Hadid 57, Ayat 12 - 13 ]

As-Siraat :: The BridgeAl-Qantarah

Abu Sa’eed al Khudree reports that the Prophet (saw) said, “when the believers cross the Hellfire, they will be stopped at a small arched bridge (Qantarah) before entering the paradise and will be given retribution for injustices between them until they become purified. (Then) they will be permitted to enter Jannah. So, by the One in Whose Hands is my soul, they will know their way to their homes in Jannah, better than they know their ways to their homes in dunya.” [ Saheeh Al-Bukhari ]

Al-A’raafDifferent Opinions

1. A high place where you can see Paradise & Hellfire2. A wall between Paradise & Hellfire3. A mountain between Jannah & Hellfire ( opinion of ibn-Abbas )4. The Bridge ( as-Sirat)

Sahih International: And between them will be a partition, and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely. And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people." And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant." [Allah will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O

People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve." [ Surah al-Araf 7, Ayat 46 – 49 ]

Sahih International: No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed. [ Surah al-Hijr 15, Ayat 48 ]

Paradise & HellfireTemporary / Eternal

Opinion – 1 :: Hellfire Temporary Allah will place the sinners there forever, as long as Allah wills. [ Surah 6, Ayat 128 ] Same as above. [ Surah 11, Ayat 106 – 107 ] Will be in there for ages. [ Surah 78, Ayat 23 ] Based on opinion of Umar ibn al-Khattab, Abu Mas’ood, Abu Hurairah, Abu Sa’eed

al-Khudri and many others. Also opinion of ibn al-Qyyium who claims that this is also the opinion of al-Islam ibn-Taymiyyah.

Opinion – 2 :: Hellfire is Eternal (Majority) Surah Az-Zukhruf 43, Ayat 75 Surah An-Naba’ 78, Ayat 30 Surah Al-Hijr 15, Ayat 48 Surah Al- Baqarah 2, Ayat 167 Surah Fatir 35, Ayat 36 Hadith in Bukhari & Muslim where Prophet (saw) mentioned “O people of Hellfire,

eternity without death.”

than the Prophet (saw) The Prophet’s (saw) Ummah will be the first to enter

Jannah. It will make up the majority of the people of Jannah

The greatest pleasure in Jannah is that of seeing Allah (swt)

But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers." [ Surah al-A’raf 7, Ayat 143 ]
