19, verse 95 says: And every one of them will come to Him...

19, verse 95 says: And every one of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment and, also, Sura Asra, No. 17, verse 71 says: One day We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imams.... To collect these senses together, we see that 'people being in groups' is not in contrast with 'every group enters the Resurrection with its respective Imam'. And ' every one of them will coming singly' is stated for the reason that there are several stopovers in the Hereafter.

People ay come in groups with their respective leaders; leading or misleading, at the first halting places, but when they stand before the throne of Justice, they stand individually, or as Sura Qaf, No.50, verse 21 says: And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness. It is also probable that they come one by one, because they are separated from their friends, partners and supporters.

Since, in the Hereafter, everyone is alone with one's own deeds. And the heaven shall be opened and becomes (wide as) gates. What are the meanings of 'be opened' and 'gates'?

Some commentators have said that it means that the doors of the 'unseen world' will be opened to the intuition world' where the curtains will be removed, thus making the world of angels open to the world of Man.(1) Some others think that this verse points to what is said in other verses of the Holy Qur'an, such as in sura Inshiqaq, No.

84, verse 1 which says: 'When the Sky is rent asunder', and on another occasion in relation to the same sense, but using another word it says: When The Sky is cleft asunder' (Sura Infitar, No. 82, verse 1) . In fact, there will appear so many clefts in the celestial spheres that it will seem as if they have changed into open gates.

There is another probability that Man, in the present conditions of this world, cannot venture through the heavens, and if it were possible for him to, it would be strictly limited, as if, the present ircumstances had shut the gates of the skies to him. But, in the Hereafter. Man will become free from the earthly world and the gate-ways to the heavens will be opened to him, and then the necessary conditions will become available.

In other words, on that Day, the skies will be 'cleft asunder' and after that new skies and earth will be substituted, as Sura Ibrahim, No. 14, verse 48 says: One day the Earth will be changed (into) a different Earth and so will be the heavens...
