SERIES: THE FINAL DAY (DAY OF RESURRECTION)
Chapter 1: Names mentioned in Quran.
Last Week: Introduction | This Week: Names Mentioned by Allah
Excerpts from The Final Day - Day of Resurrection by Dr. 'Umar S. Al-Ashqar, Translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab.
The Day when the universe will end and the Resurrection and Reckoning occur is known by many names. Scholars have attempted to compile these names. In the above book Dr. Umar S. Al-Ashqar references the fifty names compiled by Al-Ghazaali and Ququbi and the work of Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalaani based on Fath Al-Baari (specifically in volume 11, page 396).
We will limit ourselves here to the most well known names, with a brief discussion of the meaning of each one.
1- Yawm al-Qiyaamah(The Day of Resurrection)
This name is mentioned in SeventyAayaat(Verses) of the Qur'an, such as:
...
There is no god but Allah. He will certainly gather you all together on the Day of Resurrection - the Day regarding which there can be no doubt.
-Surah An-Nisa - 87
And We will drag them on their faces on the Day of Judgmentdeaf, dumb, and blind.
-Surah Al-Isra - 97
Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection.
-Surah Ash-Shuraa - 45
In Arabic, the word qiyaamah originates from "qaama or yaqoomu" which means "to stand, rise". The feminine form of the word is used with the ending -ah to add emphasis to its meaning, as per the Arab's linguistic tradition. This name is given to the Day of Judgement because of the significant events that will occur (yaqoomufihaa) on that day, as mentioned in religious texts. One of these events is when people will stand before the Lord of the Worlds.
