there will grow out of it (like wild growth) the bodies of the people. Then the second Trumpet will be blown and
they will stand up and begin to look around. Then it will be said: `O people! Go to your Rubb.' Then there will be a
command: `Make them stand there.' After it they will be called to account. Then it will be said: `Separate from them
the share of the Fire.' It will be asked: `How much?' It will be said: `Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every
thousand.' That will be the Day which will make children hoary-headed men because of its terror and that will be the
Day when the Shin will be uncovered
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
The question arises as to what is the meaning of the phrase - the Shin will be uncovered - at this
place? Some people say that it refers to the calamities and troubles of the Day of Judgement. But according to a
reliable narration, it refers to an act of Allah of uncovering His Shin in a way which befits His Majesty. As
believers, we must confirm Allah's all Qualities which He has stated in the Qur'an or mentioned through His
Messenger (PBUH) without changing them or ignoring them completely or twisting their meanings or giving
resemblance to any of the created things. What is meant by the uncovering of the Shin of Allah is something we can
neither understand nor describe. We can only believe in it without understanding the real explanation of it, in the
same way we believe in the Eye or Ear of Allah. We should believe in all these things as mentioned in the Qur'an
and Hadith without trying to go into the explanation. This is the view of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah to which we
should stick. (

Then all the Muslims will prostrate before Him. However, those people who used to pray and prostrate before Him
in their worldly lives only for showing off or for gaining good reputation, will not be able to prostrate before Him on
this occasion. Their spines will become stiff like a wooden board and it would become impossible for them to bend.

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
There will be
no land which will not be trampled by Dajjal (the Antichrist) but Makkah and Al-Madinah; and there will be no
passage leading to them which will not be guarded by the angels, arranged in rows. Dajjal will appear in a barren
place adjacent to Al-Madinah and the city will be shaken three times. Allah will expel from it every disbeliever and
hypocrite.
