IT IS THE DAY OF SEPARATION
           BETWEEN PEOPLE
           And what will teach you what the Day of Sorting is? On that Day,
           woe to the deniers! (Qur'an, 77:14-15)
           Bringing low, raising high. (Qur'an, 56:3)
           They will say, 'Alas for us! This is the Day of Reckoning!' This is
           the day of sorting things out you used to deny. (Qur'an, 37:20-21)


           THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DAY
           OF RESURRECTION
           That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the pages of a
           book. As We originated the first creation so We will regenerate it.
           It is a promise binding on Us. That is what We will do. (Qur'an,
           21:104)
           So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast, and the earth
           and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single blow, On
           that Day, the Occurrence will occur and Heaven will be split apart,
           for that Day it will be very frail. (Qur'an, 69:13-16)
           When the stars are extinguished, when heaven is split open, when
           the mountains are pulverised, when the Messengers' time is
           appointed…  (Qur'an, 77:8-11)
           The Day the Trumpet is blown and you come in droves, and
           heaven is opened and becomes doorways, and the mountains are
           shifted and become a mirage. (Qur'an, 78:18-20)
           And the mountains are crushed and become scattered dust in the
           air. (Qur'an, 56:5-6)
           On the Day the sky is like molten brass and the mountains like
           tufts of coloured wool. (Qur'an, 70:8-9)
           They will ask you about the mountains. Say: 'My Lord will scatter
           them as dust. He will leave them as a barren, level plain on which
           you will see no dip or gradient.' (Qur'an, 20:105-107)
