For the true momin, this day will be one of great comfort and ease. We should remember the day of judgement for some will be a day of great comfort and ease for some, for some it will be a day of worries, for some it will be a day of punishment, for some it will be a day of great fear and sufferings, and for some it will be their day of destruction. In reality, you cannot understand the day of judgement until you understand the questioning of judgement day.
Just like the day of judgement will be different for every person also the questioning of judgement day will be different. Now we will discuss the questioning of judgement day so that you can gain a better understanding of our topic. First Questioning The first questioning of day of judgement will be about one’s worldly life. Judgement day is not a creation of Allah that has already been made. The human creates his own day of judgement.
Every human knows what all of his actions were and what his niyyat (intention) was. Therefore, he knows where he will stand on the day of judgement. Human life demands there must be one day where all are held accountable for their actions. The first law of Newton is; ‘For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’. Not one single person can deny this law. Then how is it possible people can imagine they will have no accountability for the acts they do in this world?
How many crimes are committed, but the criminals are not caught or given a punishment that does not equal the crime he committed? If a person murders ten people and is hanged for those crimes, his punishment of hanging is not equal to the lives of those he murdered. Second Questioning The second occasion of questioning is at the time of one’s death. There are many thoughts for one to reflect upon. For example, what is death? What is the benefit of death and loss?
What door does death close, and what door remains open? What are the conditions of death for every person? What is death? Man is a combination of three things, body, soul (ruh), and nafs (self). The body has functions it must perform. The soul gives the body power to perform these functions. The nafs uses these functions. We explain it with a very simple example. A car is sitting in front of you. All of its parts are in good condition. It is a complete machine without any faults.
Just imagine this car is a body. Even though it is complete, it cannot perform until petrol is put inside of it.
