Desire For The Aakhirat 27

Main Topic

This lecture covers the events of Mahshar (the Plains of Resurrection) and details the believers who will be granted the exclusive shade of the Throne (Arsh) of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on Qiyamah.

Key Lessons

• Qiyamah begins with the blowing of the trumpet (Soor) by Hazrat Israfil alayhis salam, creating a terrifyingly powerful sound that causes mass panic, destruction, and ultimate death.
• On the Day of Resurrection, all earthly structures will be flattened, the skies folded, and the sun brought within a mile of people's heads.
• The only available shade on that day will be the permanent shade of the Arsh of Allah, which is reserved exclusively for specific believers.
• Among the seven categories granted this shade are a just ruler (which includes anyone exercising fair authority over others, such as heads of households or managers) and a youth who grew up devoted to the worship of Allah.

Quranic/Hadith References

• Hadith narrated by Sayyidina Abu Huraira radiallahu anhu regarding the seven categories of people who will receive the shade of Allah's Arsh on the Day of Resurrection.
• Reference to Hazrat Israfil alayhis salam blowing the trumpet (Soor).

Practical Advice

• Exercise justice, fairness, and compassion whenever placed in a position of authority over others.
• Utilize the energy, health, and vigor of youth in the worship and obedience of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala before old age arrives.
