Heavenly Jewels

will be dragged towards the Plains by Angels whilst others will be engulfed by fire. The Plains of Resurrection will be established in Syria. The ground will be made so flat, that if a mustard seed were placed on the opposite end, it would be visible On this Day of Judgment, the earth will be made of copper and the sun will be only one mile away from the earth. The narrator of the Hadith states, 'It is not known whether one mile (in this case) refers to the stick used in a surma or the normal distance of a mile." Even if it refers to a mile, it is obvious how intense the heat of the sun will be on that day. Presently, the sun is four thousand years distance away from the earth and the rear of the sun is facing us now whilst on the day of Judgement the sun will face us. When the sun is at its peak on a normal summer's day, i t becomes even difficult to go outside. Imagine the intensity of the sun, when it will be only one mile over our heads. Now, the ground is made of sand and we have shoes etc. to wear. On the day of reckoning, the ground will be of copper and we will be bare feet. There is none that can explain the intensity of the heat at that time. May Allah (The Exalted) protect us. It will be a time when our brains will boil and we will perspire to such an extent that the perspiration will seep seventy yards into the earth. When the earth can not take in anymore perspiration, the perspiration will rise above the ground. Some will be in perspiration up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to their waist, some up to their chest, and some up to their necks. The Kaafirs will be drowning in their own perspiration up to their mouths just as the reigns of a horse are placed in its mouth. Thirst will be so severe, that we can not really explain it. The tongue will become so dry, that it will feel like thorns. The tongues of some will be hanging out of their mouths. The heart will boil and come into the throat. 76
