In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 1:4] Master of the Day of Judgment.

	The Day of Judgment
[Quran 39:68] The horn will be blown, whereupon everyone in the heavens and the earth will be struck unconscious, except those who will be spared by GOD. Then it will be blown another time, whereupon they will all rise up, looking.*


God gives us answers to questions about the unseen in the Quran, including the Day of Resurrection. Topics that are beyond the realm of worldly knowledge.

God informs us that all generations of humans and jinns will be resurrected on this earth; about 150 billion of them. But we will not be earthbound. God teaches us through the example of the caterpillar; it turns into a pupa in the cocoon (grave), then exits the cocoon as an airborne butterfly. Similarly, we live here on earth, and when we exit the grave on the Day of Resurrection we will not be earthbound; like the butterfly (101:4).

The earth will shine with the light of God (39:69) as He comes to our universe, together with the angels (89:22). Since our universe is a temporary dominion for Satan, it cannot stand the physical presence of God (7:143). As the Almighty approaches, the stars will crash into one another (77:8, 81:2), and the earth will shatter under our feet (69:14, 89:21). These horrors will not worry the believers (21:103).

Then the stratification will occur into High Heaven, Low Heaven, the Purgatory and Hell. May God guide us and bless us to make it to Heaven.
