About This Book

Belief in the Day of Resurrection is one of the central tenets of Islam, taught by all the prophets. In this book, Dr. 'Umar al-Ashqar draws on the Qur'an and the Sunnah to describe what will take place on that Day, in order from beginning to end.

The account starts with the first blowing of the Trumpet and the end of life on earth and in the universe. It continues through the Resurrection and the Judgment, and ends with each person's final entry into Paradise or Hell. The author also discusses how this belief shapes a person's choices and restrains people from wrongdoing, both in individual lives and in society.

This is Part 2 of Volume 5. It follows The Minor Resurrection (Part 1) and is followed by Paradise and Hell (Part 3).
