YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED What are the signs of the coming of the Day of Judgement? The Day of Judgement will take place when the period of human trial comes to an end. Some of its signs include widespread immorality, an increase in senseless killings, and the spread of ignorance despite the availability of knowledge. There will also be frequent natural disasters and noticeable changes in the natural order—for example, deserts turning into green lands. Practices such as gambling, drinking, and immoral behaviour will become common. In essence, the Day of Judgement will come when human beings lose the moral justification to continue living in this world created by God. At that time, all of humanity will be brought back to life for divine judgement. How is the Day of Judgement described in the Quran? The Quran describes the Day of Judgement as a “striking calamity”, a “great earthquake”, and the Day when people will rise from their graves. It will be a day when perfect justice is established, and every deed—no matter how small or large—will be taken into account. For wrongdoers, it will be a day of great fear and terror. However, for those who believed and did good, it will be a day of mercy, and they will be admitted into God’s grace. How will humanity be divided on that Day? On the Day of Judgement, humanity will be divided into three groups: the foremost (as-sabiqun), the people of the Right (ashab alyamin), and the people of the Left (ashab ash-shimal). The foremost are those who accept the truth immediately when it becomes clear to them. They submit without hesitation and act upon it fully.

These are those who lived righteous lives according to their faith and character. While they may not have had a deep level of awareness,
