“I remember that the diameter of planet Earth was twenty five
thousand kilometres.”
“But now there has been a manifold increase in it. In addition, it has
become more beautiful and picturesque than ever before. Archangel
Raphael had blown the trumpet twice. On the first sound, everything
was destroyed, but on the second sound, human beings had risen again.
Between these two sounds, on God's command, planet Earth became
larger and the angels created magnificent homes, palaces, and gardens
on it for the residents of Paradise. In addition, they created the best
facilities for relaxation and amusement, as well as a new world whose
beauty is simply beyond your imagination. Every dweller of Paradise will
be given a home on this Earth, along with large plots of land to use as
they may wish. In the centre of Earth will be volcanoes with scorching
lava and brooks of boiling water; this will be the abode of the dwellers
of Hell.”
I tried to summarise what he had just stated:
“I was already aware of what you have explained by reading verses
of the glorious Qur’an. As per Qur’an, the owners of Earth would be
pious servants of God. It states that the surface of Earth would be
transformed into Paradise, which would become the abode of the
people of Paradise. In the centre of Earth would be the dwellers of Hell.
The stars and galaxies would be distributed amongst the dwellers of
Paradise as gifts and dominions. By the way, what will be in them?”
“These details will be revealed in the Grand Gathering at the Court.
Do you remember that we had talked about the Grand Gathering at the
Court earlier?”
“Yes, you had said that after accountability and judgement, all
people destined for Paradise would be presented in the Court of the
Almighty; that meeting is known as the Grand Gathering at the Court.
During this, the dwellers of Paradise will be awarded their formal titles
and entitlements. This will also be an opportunity for the people to
meet their Lord as well as an occasion to honour people considered to
be worthy of being close to the Almighty.”
“Yes. That day, rewards will be given and tasks will also be
assigned.”
I noticed that the lightless Moon had now merged into the Sun. On
seeing this, Saleh said:
“The signs manifest in the sky are changing. Merger of the Moon
into the Sun is one of them. This implies that all skies have been now
been folded. Any moment now, Almighty Lord of the Universe will
become apparent to everyone and the much-awaited Court of
Accountability will commence. At that time, you and the entire world
will find out who is this most esteemed and supreme entity called the
God Almighty.”
Saleh's sentence had not even finished when there was a loud bang.
Everyone was shaken up. As the noise came from the sky, everyone's
gaze turned upwards.
Saleh and I also looked up like everybody else. An astonishing scene
appeared right away.
There was a large breach in the sky. A little while later it ruptured
and shattered into small fragments like the clouds. The breeches took
the shape of multiple gates formed in the sky.
From every opening, huge armies of angels began to descend to the
earth. They were so many that any sort of counting or estimate was
futile. There were various groups of angels and every group had their
own appearance and dress that was unique. The angels began to
descend in the centre of the Plane of Judgement where they encircled a
vast elevated area.
===============
The angles were descending from the sky and arranging
themselves in numerous circles, all of them standing with their hands
held together respectfully. Their number was multiplying with every
passing moment. Meanwhile, the clamour of people had ended as well.
Everyone seemed spellbound, looking in the direction of the angels with
awe-stricken eyes. All one could hear now was the sound of a few
whispers. The reason was that everyone was asking the person standing
next to him about what was going on.
