What do scholars of hadith say in tafseer regarding a special creature mentioned in this hadith: > It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik, from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: “[People] will continue to be thrown into Hell, and it will say, ‘Are there any more to come?’ until the Lord of Glory places His foot in it, then its parts will be integrated with one another and it will say: Enough, enough, by Your glory and Your honour. And there will be extra space in Paradise until Allah creates another creation to live in the extra space of Paradise.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (7384 ) and Muslim (2848 ).

*We have killed those who are upon the earth. **Let us now kill those who are In the sky** and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):" I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them.* [Sahih Muslim 2937 b] https://sunnah.com/muslim:2937b What does this mean, who is this referring to, who is in the sky? I've searched the internet many times for this but the only results to ever appear are repeats of this hadith.

Will the barzakh period (the time until Qiyamah) be shortened for good people in the grave?

I have read the complete story of how Dajjal would come and rule over the whole world except for mecca and medina It is also mentioned that these 40 days would be different then other days because the one day would be like one year, next one would be like one month, next one would be like one week and remaining 37 days would be normal days. As it is mentioned that one day from 40 days would be like one year, **does it mean that the whole day from morning to night will complete in one year?**

In order to prepare ourselves before the arrival of Jesus & Imam Mahdi (alayhuma salaam) we have to know the exact language they speak so we can communicate with them properly. Do they speak Arabic? what dialects of Arabic? or will Jesus speak Aramaic? or Hebrew? please clarify the details.

According to this wikipedia article , all People of the Book will believe in Jesus (pbuh) and thus become Muslims. > Eventually, Jesus will slay the Antichrist Dajjal, and then everyone > from the People of the Book (ahl al-kitāb, referring to Jews and > Christians) will believe in him. Thus, there will be one community, > that of Islam. Sahih Muslim, 41:7023 However, the reference given (41:7023) is broken and perhaps this numbering has been deprecated. It may refer to this hadith but it does not say what the article alludes to. Please share a reference of hadith(s) which says that Jews will believe in him.

Which books are authentic to refer and study Islamic eschatology? for the reference of those Books related to the Author and authenticity.

Buddhism has two meanings, as a religion and as a philosophy. Most Buddhists are followers of the religion, not the philosophy. This question is about the philosophy. Nirvana is not the Buddhist heaven (the followers of the Buddhist religion believe that depending on karma, a person will go to either a good or bad afterlife, and then be reincarnated as either an advanced being or a lowly being). Nirvana is a state of mind. According to my understanding: The view of Buddhism is that suffering is due not only to bad stimuli, but also ultimately good stimuli as they inevitably are lost eventually, and that hurts as well. So the first step towards Nirvana is to cut all connections to stimuli and emotions. So at this stage the Buddhist is constantly content no matter what is happening around him. That is why Thich Quang Duc didn’t react to burning himself alive to protest for the suffering of his people. He wasn’t resisting the pain, he completely ignored it: https://youtu.be/OxrBik16Hzg The next stage is realising that your emotions and thoughts are also stimuli, and thus working to abandon them as well, so you achieve a state of blankness and peace. The last stage where the individual reaches Nirvana is when he loses his sense of self completely, by not associating with even his personality and memories. ——— So based on this, assuming it is true, what will Allah do to Buddhists who have achieved Nirvana (also known as Buddhas) after they die, since being completely impartial to pleasure or pain, this world, heaven, and hell would all carry the same lack of value to them?

I have studied about "araf". **It is place between heaven and hell** . I have asked for scholars and there is lot of different views about it . Some say it place for those who did not get to heaven or hell. and some say it is made for those who did not get the massage of Allah from any prophet. I think it is a mystery in Islam. please share your knowledge with me about araf I want to about it.

My question falls under the 'those interested in learning more about Islam' category, so please forgive any naivety in my question here. I've read the majority of the Quran, and I've always been struck by the prophecy of the infant Jesus shorty after his birth in Sura 19: Sura 19 Maryam, Ayat 30-33 > He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! My question is regarding the last line. I do not believe that, in the Quran, Jesus dies; he ascends to heaven without ever dying. Maybe the 'raised up to life' is referencing the resurrection of the dead at the divine judgment? But how is he to be raised if he never died? What am I missing here?

This is sort of a less thought and express subject these days and I would like to shed back some light on it. Today we have some people expressing different viewpoint within the Ummah on the subject so I welcome all points of view concerning it. Do you think today Rum refers to those who had a certain system of governance liken to the Romans? Does it refer to the Christians of European background? Does it refer to the West only? Does it refer to Russia only? These are some of viewpoints I have heard. I also ask since the subject is somewhat very important since some important events in Islamic eschatology involve them (Romans). **Update: relevant Surah and Hadiths that could indicate Rum in a modern time** > Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to > Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I > will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to > the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will > judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute. > > Quran (3:55) - Translation Yusuf Ali The tafseer in (Jalal - Al-Jalalayn) is interesting. > And mention, when God said, ‘O Jesus, I am gathering you, seizing you, > and raising you to Me, away from the world without death, and I am > cleansing you of, removing you far away from, those who disbelieved, > and I am setting those who follow you, those Christians and Muslims > who believed in your prophethood, above those who disbelieved, in you, > namely, the Jews, becoming above them through [definitive] argument > and the sword, until the Day of Resurrection.

I have heard lots of things about Dajjal's personality, presence, etc. I thought it would be great to ask in this community. - When will Dajjal appear? - Where will he appear? - What would he look like? - Would he have some kind of powers? - What will he do? These are the questions in my mind about Dajjal.

I understand that *Dunya* means this world, and that *Akhira* mean the hereafter. Now, can *Akhira* refer to heaven or hell? Or does it mean the life after death? What are the Islamic words for Hell and Heaven, especially as referenced in the Quran.

Allah is fair to all of his slaves however this life is a test for all of us yet we all don't have the same amount of time on this test (Earth). Some people get longer time and they live to an older age and some people have less time for the same test as they die at a younger age. I understand that having more time could also mean you are at risk of getting more sins if you do not use your time wisely but equally you have more time to collect good deeds and please Allah. What if in the last few years of your old age you change and decide to leave behind your haram life style and only please Allah? What if you are a non-Muslim and decide you want to revert? You may say because it is a test, but then what about children? Why are they brought to life on Earth if they will not really be tested because their life is taken away from them while they are a child? This means at this age they do not have any sins so will be granted Jannah. I mean personally if I had a choice of when to be taken away, I would have chosen a time in my childhood when I was considered an innocent child or even a baby because at this time I do not have sins and so will be granted Jannah. We all will have to die one day and that is for sure so a younger age would be better than going through the pain of trails.

I know that after qiyamah the whole world will be destroyed and there will be nothing left but allah and after the day of judgment true Muslim believers and worshippers will go to heaven and the bad will go to hell but what will happen after that, will Allah create another world.. just like he created this world?

I am wondering what will be the language after life? I couldn't find anything anywhere so asking it here. Is there any ayah or hadith related to what will be language after life?

Recently it was brought to my knowledge that there are certain hadith which point to the fact that places other then sole hell and heaven exist. Is it that true? "Places" here refers to the places in the hereafter. *References and citations are obviously required here.*

Does Allah also destroy humans completely as if some of them had never existed (just vaporized)? If so, does this mean that a human being is better off being completely destroyed than being tormented in hell for his/her sins?

In Quran we have a lot of verses talking about the hell and the heaven and their characteristics. What I want to know is that whether the hell and heaven mentioned in Quran currently exist?
