98 THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

They will be paraded before your Lord in ranks: "You have
come to Us just as We created you at first. Yes indeed! Even
though you claimed that We would not fix a time with you."
(Surat al-Kahf, 48)
A great majority of people did not believe that this meeting
would ever take place. But on that great Day, they will be captured

and realize its truth and that they cannot escape it.

GATHERING FOR THE JUDGMENT

Allah has created this moment of truth, as befits His power and
glory, which the unbelievers disregarded and evaded all their lives,
whereas the believers were preparing themselves for it. Jibril and all
the angels will assemble in rows for the judgment, all people will be
judged fairly, and those who speak will only be able to speak the
truth:
On the Day when the Spirit and the angels stand in ranks, no
one will speak, except for him who is authorized by the All-
Merciful and says what is right. (Surat an-Naba', 38)

As Allah reveals, in the Hereafter Allah will show His Glory to
His servants at the highest level. That Day eight angels will bear His
Throne:
The angels will be gathered round its edge. On that Day, eight
will bear the Throne of their Lord above their heads. On that
Day you will be exposed—no concealed act you did will stay
concealed. (Surat al-Haqqa, 17-18)

In the Qur'an Allah reveals that the believers' faces will be
radiant and they will be gazing at their Lord, whereas the
unbelievers will not even raise their heads because of their shame.
