Death, the Day of Judgment and the afterlife

Resurrection

In brief

After the second blow of the Trumpet, Allah raises every human being from the dead, body and soul together, to be judged. It is the start of the Day of Judgment.

Allah sends down a rain, and people grow out of the ground like plants. Every part of the body decays except the tailbone, and from it a person is built again. People are raised barefoot, naked and uncircumcised, just as they were first created. The first person for whom the earth splits open is the Prophet ﷺ.

A man once brought a crumbling old bone to the Prophet ﷺ and asked who could give life to that. The answer came in the Quran: 'He who made it the first time will give it life' (Ya-Sin 36:79).

What to do

Each person is raised in the state in which they died. Live as you want to be raised.
