Death, the Day of Judgment and the afterlife

The Gathering (Hashr)

In brief

Al-Hashr is the Gathering. All of creation, from Adam to the last human being, is brought together on one vast plain to wait for judgment. It comes right after the resurrection.

The earth is flat and white like a clean loaf of bread, with no landmark on it. The sun comes within a mile of people, and they sweat according to their deeds: some to the ankles, some to the waist, some drowning in it. That day lasts fifty thousand years. Yet seven kinds of people are given shade in the shade of Allah's Throne.

When Aishah asked whether men and women would look at one another, since everyone is naked, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The matter will be too severe for them to care about that.'

What to do

Be among the seven in the shade: a just leader, a youth raised in worship, one whose heart is attached to the mosques, two who love for Allah, one who refuses temptation for Allah's sake, one who gives charity in secret, and one who remembers Allah alone and weeps.
