“Bear in mind the Day when We shall set the mountains in motion and you will find the earth void and bare. On that Day We shall muster all men together, leaving none of them behind. They shall be brought before your Lord, all lined up, and shall be told: ‘Now, indeed, you have come before Us in the manner We created you in the first instance, although you thought that We shall not appoint a tryst [with Us].’ And then the Record of their deeds shall be placed before them and you will see the guilty full of fear for what it contains, and will say: ‘Woe to us! What a Record is this! It leaves nothing big or small, but encompasses it.’ They will find their deeds confronting them. Your Lord wrongs no one.”
(Al-Qur’ān – 18:47-48)
These verses of the Qur’ān present a glimpse of the Day of Resurrection when all human beings that have ever been born from the very early beginnings till the very last moment before the Final Day, will be reawakenedat the same time. Those who had denied the Hereafter will see what the Messengers had informed them had indeed come about.
The Prophets had told people that God Who had created in the first instance would bring them back to life. There were many who had refused to accept this, and it is they who will be asked whether what they had been told by the Messengers about being raised back to life after death had been proved true or not.
