When one’s mind is clear, he will be able to see
clearly, thus giving such a person a light in his
heart that will allow him to almost witness the
Warning and the Promise, Paradise and Hell,
and what Allah has prepared in this (Paradise)
For His Awliyaa` (loyal friends) and in that (Hell)
for His enemies. He will then witness people
rushing out of their graves following the call of
the Truth (Resurrection). The angels in the
heavens will the descend and will surround them
(creation). Allah will then come to judge
(between creation) and His Kursi (literally a
footstool or chair) will be raised. The earth will
shine with the Light of its Lord (Allah, when He
comes to judge between His creation), the Book
(of Records) will be opened and the Prophets
and the witnesses will be brought forward. The
Mizan (Scale) will then be established, the books
of (individual) records will fly around and the foes
will converge, each holding to its foe. Al-Houdh
(the pool that runs outside the gates of Paradise
from a river inside it) will then appear and its cups
will appear close by. Thirst will intensify, but
those who are allowed to drink are few. Al-Jisr
(the bridge over Hell that everyone must pass
over into Paradise) will then be laid (over Hell) so
that (mankind and the Jinn) can pass over it (as
for the disbelievers and those whose sins
outweigh their good deeds, they will fall into Hell,
where only the disbelievers will reside for
eternity). People will then be gathered in its
direction. The Fire (Hell) will appear, each part
harshly consuming the other parts beneath it.
Those who fall into it are far more than those who
are saved from it. Then, an eye will be opened in
his (the man who is thinking about these scenes)
heart with which he will be able to see clearly.
His heart will then witness some scenes of the
Last Life, along with imagining the various stages
of the Last Life which will last for eternity, as
compared to this Dunya (the life of this world)
and its briefness.
