15. The Last Day, Paradise and Hell
39:6703 - Allah's Apostle said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, will take in His grip the earth on the Day of Judgment and He would roll up the sky in His right hand and would say: I am the Lord; where are the sovereigns of the world?

39:6710 - Allah's Messenger said: The earth would turn to be one single bread on the Day of Resurrection and the Almighty would turn it in His hand as one of you turns a loaf while on a journey. It would be a feast arranged in the honour of the people of Paradise. Their seasoning would be Ox and fish from whose excessive livers seventy thousand people would be able to eat.
39:6733-6735 - Allah's Messenger said: Allah, the Exalted and High, would say to one who shall have to undergo the least torture on the Day of Resurrection: Would you like to go as ransom if you had all worldly riches; he would say: Yes. Allah would say to him: When you were in the loins of Adam, I demanded from you something easier than this that you should not associate anything with Me. I would not cause you to enter Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity to others besides Me. It would be said to the non-believers on the Day of Resurrection: If you were to possess gold, filling the whole earth, would you like to secure your freedom by paying that? He would say: Yes. Thereupon it would be said to him: Something easier than this (Islam) was demanded from you but you paid no heed to it.
39:6737 - Allah's Messenger said: Non-believers would be made to assemble on the Day of Resurrection by crawling on their faces?
39:6719 - When Allah's Messenger saw people rejecting Islam he said: O Allah, afflict them with seven famines as was done in the case of Yusuf, so they were afflicted with famine by which they were forced to eat everything until they were obliged to eat the hides and the dead bodies because of hunger, and every one of them looked towards the sky and he found a smoke. Wait for the day when there would be clear smoke from the sky which would envelop people and that would be grievous torment”

39:6757 - Allah's Messenger said: There is none amongst you with whom is not attached a jinn (devil). They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against the devil and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.
40:6787 - Allah's Apostle said that Allah would say to the inmates of Paradise: Are you well pleased now? They would say: Why should we not be pleased, O Lord, when Thou hast given us what Thou hast not given to others? (Those in heaven will be pleased only because they have something that’s denied to those in hell). Allah would say: I shall never be afterwards annoyed with you.
40:6792 - Allah's Messenger said: In Paradise there is a street to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us.
40:6788 - Allah's Messenger said: The inmates of Paradise would see the inmates of the upper apartments over them just as you see the shining planets which remain in the eastern and the western horizon because of the superiority some have over others.
40:6796 - Allah's Messenger said: The first group of my Ummah to get into Paradise would be like a full moon in the night. Then those who would be next to them; they would be like the most significantly glittering stars in regard to brightness, then after them others in ranks. They would neither void excrement, nor pass water, nor suffer from catarrh, nor would they spit. And their combs would be made of gold, and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk.
40:6816 - Allah's Messenger said: There would be among them those to whom the fire will reach up to their ankles and to some of them the fire would reach their knees and to some it would reach their waists and to some it would reach up to their collar-bones.

40:6831 - Allah's Messenger said: (In hell) The molar tooth of an unbeliever or the canine teeth of an unbeliever will be like Uhud (a hill) and the thickness of his skin a three night's journey so that the skin can be burnt for a long time.

40:6859 - As Allah's Apostle was going along with us riding upon his pony, it shied and he was about to fall. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Who amongst you knows about those lying in the graves? A person said: I do. They died worshipping many gods. The prophet said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. On listening to the torment in the grave which I am listening to, I would have certainly made you hear that. Then turning his face towards us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. {Those who worship many gods begin they hellish suffering while in the grave awaiting the day of resurrection.}
40:6869 - Allah's Messenger let the dead bodies of the unbelievers who fought in Badr lie unburied for three days. He then came to them and sat by their side and called them and said: Have you not found what your Lord had promised with you to be correct? Umar said: Allah's Messenger, how do they listen and respond to you? Thereupon the Prophet said: What I am saying to them, even you cannot hear more distinctly than they, but they lack the power to reply. Then he commanded that they should be thrown into the well of Badr.
40:6853 - Allah's Messenger while delivering a sermon one day, said: Behold, my Lord commanded me that I should teach you which you do not know and which He has taught me today. He (Allah) has instructed thus: I have created My servants as one having a natural inclination to the worship of Allah but it is Satan who turns them away from the right religion. And I sent the Book to you which cannot be washed away by water. Verily, Allah commanded me to burn (kill) the Quraish (Jewish tribes). I said: My Lord, they would break my head like the tearing of bread, and Allah said: You fight against them and We shall help you in this. You send an army and I would send an army five times greater than that. Fight against those who disobey you.
41:6899 - Allah's Messenger said: When two Muslims confront each other with their swords, both the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire. {Muslims fighting one another is condemned with terrible punishment in the hereafter. However fighting and killing unbelievers is meritorious and Paradise is the reward.}
41:6893 - Allah's Messenger said: There will be soon a period of turmoil in which the one who sits will be better than one who stands and the one who stands will be better than one who walks and the one who walks will be better than one who runs.

41:6930 - Allah's Messenger said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to Conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the anti-Christ and Allah will enable you to conquer him.
41:6935 - Allah's Messenger said: The Last Hour would not come until fire emits from the earth which would illuminate the necks of the camels of Basra.
41:6985 - Allah's Messenger said: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad {a very thorny tree} would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
41:7039 - Allah's Messenger said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, the anti-Christ, the beast and the general turmoil.
41:7052 - Allah's Apostle said: When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger kept quiet for a while. Then looked at a young boy in his presence and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come to you to the old People of this generation.
41:7052 - Allah's Messenger said: Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (spinal chord) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection.
42:7110 - Allah's Messenger said: He who builds a mosque for Allah, Allah would build for him a house in Paradise like it. {Muhammad makes promises in the hereafter in order to further his mission and power in the here and now.}

SB 2:167 - The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (Day of Judgement). He went to the Mosque and offered the prayer with the longest Qiyam, bowing and prostration that I had ever seen him doing.

So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness.'
SB 2:485 - The Prophet said, '(On the Day of Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had and if he had not paid their Zakat (tax) then they would tread him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their owner in the best state of health they have ever had in the world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would tread him with their hooves and would butt him with their horns.' The Prophet added, 'I do not want anyone of you to come to me on the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating. Such a person will (then) say, 'O Muhammad! (please intercede for me,) I will say to him. 'I can't help you, for I conveyed Allah's Message to you.' Similarly, I do not want anyone of you to come to me carrying over his neck a camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say 'O Muhammad! (please intercede for me).' I will say to him, 'I can't help you for I conveyed Allah's message to you.'

SB 4:468 - Allah's Apostle said, “The first group (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the moon when it is full. They will not spit or blow their noses or relieve nature. Their utensils will be of gold and their combs of gold and silver; in their centres the aloe wood will be used, and their sweat will smell like musk. Everyone of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives' legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They (the people of Paradise) will neither have differences nor hatred amongst themselves; their hearts will be as if one heart and they will be glorifying Allah in the morning and in the evening.”

SB 6:7 - Abdullah bin Salam came to the Prophet and said, 'I will ask you about three things which nobody knows unless he be a prophet. Firstly, what is the first sign of the last Hour? What is the first meal of the people of Paradise? And what makes a baby look like its father or mother?' The Prophet said, 'Just now Gabriel has informed me about that.'
'Abdullah said, 'Gabriel?' The Prophet said, 'Yes.' 'Abdullah said, 'He, among the angels is the enemy of the Jews.' On that the Prophet recited this Verse: 'Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel let him die in his fury! Then he added, 'As for the first portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of Paradise, it will be the lobe of the fish liver. And if a man's discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the child resembles the father, and if the woman's discharge proceeded that of the man, then the child resembles the mother.'
SB 8:419 - Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, “If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it.

You promised me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more disgraceful to me than cursing and dishonouring my father?' Then Allah will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the disbelievers.” Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your feet?'

The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (the ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of Hell!

Tirmizi, volume two (p 35-40): A houri {female in paradise} is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white colour, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings. The Prophet was asked :'Do we have sex in Paradise?' He answered: 'Yes, by him who holds my soul in his hand, and it will be done dahman, dahman (with vigour). And when it is finished she will return pure and virgin again.
Al hadiths, Vol. 4, Page-172, No.34: The Apostle of Allah said, “There is in paradise an open market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, at once he will have intercourse with them as desired.
