*What happens After Death*
After death one would be resurrected, and the records would be handed out. Allah (I) says: (That is because Allah: He is the Truth, and it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He who is able to do all things.) [22:6]
The unbelievers throughout the ages disbelieve in Resurrection and handing out of records. This is not a new thing. Allah (I) says: (The disbelievers pretend that they will never be resurrected (for the Account). Say (O Muhammad (r)): Yes! By my Rubb, you will certainly be resurrected, then you will be informed of (and recompensed for) what you did;
and that is easy for Allah.) [64:7]
On that Day, Allah (I) will resurrect the entire creation. Allah (I) says: (The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. Verily, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Seer.) [31:28] Allah will gather them all together on that Day, the Day of Recompense. Allah (I) says: (Say (O Muhammad (r)): ‘(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times. All will surely be gathered together for the appointed Meeting of a known Day.’) [56:49-50]
All of creation shall be resurrected on that Day. Allah (I) says: (And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (O mankind), and also those who will come afterwards.) [15:24]
Allah will judge all of mankind accordingly; if they did good, they would receive a reward, and if they did evil they would be punished. Allah (I) says: (On the Day when every person will be confronted with all the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil. And Allah warns you against Himself [i.e. His Punishment] and Allah is full of Kindness to the (His) slaves.) [3:30]
On that great day, humans will disown their closest and most beloved relations. Allah (I) says: (Then when there comes as-Saakhkhah [the Day of Resurrection’s second blowing of Trumpet], * That Day shall a man flee from his brother. * And from his mother and his father. * And from his wife and his children. * Everyman that Day will have enough to make him careless of others.) [80:33-7]
When evildoers see the punishment with their own eyes, they would wish that they could ransom themselves from the Fire with the most beloved people to them. Allah (I) says: (Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor
will ask them for any help)] - the mujrim [criminal, sinner, disbeliever, etc.] would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children. * And his wife and his brother. * And his kindred who sheltered him. * And all that are in the earth, so that it might save him.) [70:11-4]
The only thing accepted on that Day is one’s righteous deeds. Allah (I) says: (And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us [i.e. pleases Allah], but only he (will please Us) who believes (in the Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds; as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (of Jannah) in peace and security.) [34:37] On that Day: (no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good [by performing deeds of righteousness] through his Faith.) [6:158] All material things which man used to seek help with will come to an end. Allah (I) says: (And truly you have come unto Us alone (without wealth, companions or anything else) as We created you the first time. You have left behind you all that which We had bestowed on you.) [6:94]
The only thing that remains are the deeds which he did in this life; whether evil or good. Allah (I) says: (So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or small ant) shall see it. * And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.) [99:7- 8]
