Was the Imam talking about Barzakh or Day of Judgment?
I read this [question][1]. I have often heard the Imam of my local mosque say the following: 1. During Ramdan and on the day of Eid, many people will be released from Hell by the mercy of Allah. 2. Also that, many people who die during a fast will enter Heaven. Does this mean, people (sinners) who h...
I read this question . I have often heard the Imam of my local mosque say the following:
1. During Ramdan and on the day of Eid, many people will be released from Hell by the mercy of Allah.
2. Also that, many people who die during a fast will enter Heaven.
Does this mean, people (sinners) who have passed away are spending time in Hell at present And good people are already spending time in Heaven? Please provide some clarity.
What I understand now is that, during the state of barzakh sinners will be punished by the angels (no to the extend as in Hell) and time will move very slowly for them until Judgment day. For the faithful believers, life in the state of barzakh will be pleasureful (not as pleasureful as in Heaven) and time will move very fast for them such that Judgment day will appear as tomorrow. Based on this, was the Imam actually talking about the mercy of Allah on Judgment day? Or was he talking about the state of barzakh?

Is this narration about punishment of zina authentic?
> Al-Zawahir ‘an Iqtiraaf Al-Kaba’ir (2/225) It was also reported: “Whoever commits adultery with a married woman will have half of the punishment of this nation in the grave for her and for him. When the Day of Resurrection comes, God Almighty will judge her husband regarding his good deeds. This i...
> Al-Zawahir ‘an Iqtiraaf Al-Kaba’ir (2/225)
It was also reported: “Whoever commits adultery with a married woman will have half of the punishment of this nation in the grave for her and for him. When the Day of Resurrection comes, God Almighty will judge her husband regarding his good deeds. This is if it was without his knowledge. If he knew and kept quiet, God will forbid him Paradise, because God Almighty wrote on its door: ‘You are forbidden to the cuckold.’”
Edit: The Arabic text -
التخريج من المصادر العربية
الزواجر عن اقتراف الكبائر: (٢/ ٢٢٥)
وورد أيضا: «إن من زنى بامرأة متزوجة كان عليه وعليها في القبر نصف عذاب هذه الأمة، فإذا كان يوم القيامة يحكم الله تعالى زوجها في حسناته، هذا إذا كان بغير علمه، فإن علم وسكت حرم الله عليه الجنة؛ لأن الله تعالى كتب على بابها أنت حرام على الديوث
Is this true and authentic?
If anyone has knowledge please comment or answer.

Will the Kursi be destroyed too?
Allah has said that He would destroy everything, so would He destroy the Kursi too and does that mean that Allah will destroy everything and He will be the only one who will remain in the end?

Will the earth still be spherical on Qiyamah or will it be flattened?
I know the surface will be made level, but does this mean the earth itself will be reduced to a flat disk or will it still be round? Jazakhallah

How will we see the Arsh on qiyamah (& how will Moses hold 1 of its pillars) when its so big? Might Allah shrink it to scale with earth or something?
The Kursi extends over the universe (Quran 2:225) and hadith says it is like a ring in a desert compared to the Arsh, so how then will we see the latter on Qiyamah and how can Musa (as) hold onto one of its pillars (Bukhari)?

Passing the siraat bridge
Is there any text with respect to: Could it be the case that on the Day of Judgement, a person is in front of Allah, and when finished, he thinks that Allah forgave him, yet he falls down to Hell when passing the siraat bridge. Or, is it the case that nobody will know whether he is forgiven or not,...

Or, is it the case that nobody will know whether he is forgiven or not, until actually passes that bridge?

What kind of people will be alive on the last day of earth before the blowing of the trumpet?

Do any sources from Shia make comments about the condition of people before the blowing of the trumpet.
I have failed to find anything on Al Islam about the kind of people alive at that time.
Why I am asking this is because as per Twelver belief the earth doesn't see a day without an imam.
> محمد بن الحسين عن الحسن بن محبوب عن العلاء عن عبد الله بن ابى يعفور عن ابى عبد الله عليه السلام قال كان على بن ابى طالب عليه السلام عالم هذه الامة والعلم يتوارث وليس يمضى منا احد حتى يرى من ولده من يعلم علمه ولا تبقى الارض يوما بغير امام منا تفزع إليه الامة قلت يكون امامان قال لا الا واحدهما صامت لا يتكلم حتى يمضى الاول. (Basa'iru d-Darajat of as-Safar al-Qumi)
>
> Abdu l-Lah ibn Abi Ya'fur said that Abu Abdi l-Lah (Jafaru s-Sadiq) said: "Ali ibn Abi Talib was the knowledgeable Imam of this Ummah and the knowledge is inherited. Not one of us passes away until he sees a son who learns his knowledge, and the Earth doesn't last for a day without an Imam from us, with the Ummah seeking refuge towards him
So the doubt arises. The last twelver imam comes to finish oppression. However per Sunni belief the oppression before the blowing of the trumpet is the worst kind.

How to reply to Farooq Tejani on the date of the Hour?
**Surat No. 7 Ayat NO. 187 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him.

**Surat No. 7 Ayat NO. 187
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah , but most of the people do not know."**
Farooq Tejani, who claims to "know" the date of the Hour as Muharram 01, 1532, says that "but 'most' of the people do not know" means that some people know when the Hour will come. How to respond to him?

What will happen to those who are mentally ill in the afterlife?
As far as I know, mentally ill people will not be held accountable for anything they do simply because they do not have the mental capabilities to part right from wrong. Just like a child. In that case, how will they be judged ? If they will go directly to the heaven, then isn't that unfair for rest...

Note that I am not saying their lives are meaningless or anything. They can be a test for the society, parents etc.

If I truly repented for a major sin I had once committed, will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?
Let’s pretend I do a major sin and then inshallah do a perfect taubah and never do that sin ever again. **Will it still show up in my records on Judgement Day?**

Say a person steals some of a persons goods, murders a person, commits adultery while being married, stains ones honours wrongly, rapes someone etc.
Now that person repents to Allah sincerely, then will he/she be responsible or accountable to the victim on the day of judgement?
> Whoever wrongs someone in any way, whether in terms of his honor, wealth, or anything else, let him make amends for it before the Day when there will be no dinar or dirham (currency), and if he has no good deeds, then some of the wronged person's bad deeds will be taken and added to his load(Bukhari).
So please help me understand in such situation will the victims rights be given respect in the hereafter if the criminal does not seek forgiveness of the victim in this world?

In Chapter 56, Quran says people will be put into three groups in the Day of Judgment: companions of left, companions of right, and people in front (or foremost). From the some verses in this chapter, we see that both companions of right, and foremost will go to heaven while companions of left are destined to go to hell. See the verses below:
Quran 56/10-14 talks about foremost.
> And those in front––ahead indeed! For these will be the ones brought
> nearest to God in Gardens of Bliss: many from the past and a few from later generations.
And Quran 56/27-40 talks of companions of right.
> Those on the Right, what people they are! They will dwell amid
> thornless lote trees and clustered acacia with spreading shade,
> constantly flowing water, abundant fruits, unfailing, unforbidden,
> with incomparable companions We have specially created–– virginal,
> loving, of matching age–– for those on the Right, many from the past
> and many from later generations.
My question is this: what exactly are the differences between foremost, and companion of right? Is it a matter of firmness in the following Islamic faith, i.e., are foremost the people who are more devout, and practicing than an average Muslim? Or, is it a special status given by the God, such as prophethood, i.e., does foremost refer to the prophets, and those who first accepted, followed, and fought besides the prophets etc.

From early times, I knew or learned that after death, one would remain in grave (punishment in grave for sins or otherwise) until he/she is resurrected on the **Day of Reckoning**.
However, recently I came to know about concept of **Barzakh** (as seen here ) which they say is temporary place after death and one would remain there before the Judgement Day.
Question: I have confusion where will we be after death ? **Grave or Barzakh** according to Quran/Hadith ?
Thanks in advance.
