SURE SIGNS OF DAY OF AL-QIYAMAH (Part 1)



SURE SIGNS OF DAY OF AL-QIYAMAH (Part 1)
The Sure Signs and descriptions of Al-Qiyamah in the Qur'an are generally agreeable as follows:
1) There is a set time for it;
He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" At length, when the sight is dazed and the moon is buried in darkness, and the sun and moon are joined together that Day will Man say; "Where is the refuge?"
Qur'an 75.6-10
2) That this event is inevitable;
In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. Nor shall We delay it but for a term appointed.
Qur'an 11.102-7
3) The verses revealing Al-Qiyamah will be collected from all over the Qur'an, promulgated, recited and explained;
Move not thy tongue concerning the (Revelation of Al-Qiyamah), to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital: Nay more, it is for Us to explain it.
Qur'an 75.16-19
Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [*]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)
(* Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.)
