Sequence of Events in the Hereafter… What are the stages that people will pass through at the Day of Resurrection? Can you please, as much as you can, give all the details of the events that will take place in that Day in a sequenced order, for both the losers and the winners, starting from the time of resurrection until people will take their places, which they deserve, in Hell or Paradise?. Can you also make a graphical representation for the sequences of the events? Khalid, Qatar. Reply The Qur’an does not give a complete chronological sequence of events that shall take place on the Day of Judgment. The Qur’an has only referred to some of the major events that shall take place on that day. Even though this reference of the Qur’an is actually in the context of reminding people of the severity of that day as an admonition for those who were averse to surrendering to the truth, yet an overall sequence may be derived from these references. The general sequence of events seems to be as follows: End of the present physical world and all that exists in it; Changing the present physical environment with a new one; Raising of the dead; Scrutiny of the records of the deeds of the humankind; Judgment regarding the eternal destiny of each individual; Placement of the individuals according to their deeds. There are also some scattered details of each step given in the Qur’an and some narratives ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh). Nevertheless, the overall sequence of events seems to be as given above. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad Home Page
