AL-HASHR (GATHERING) TO THE SCENE

 Allah (SWT) will gather all people together on the Day of Gathering. Allah (SWT) says: “Say (O Muhammad): ‘Verily those of old and those of later times will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.’” (LVI: 49-50) Allah (SWT) also says: “And We will gather them together leaving not a single one behind” (XVIII: 47) Allah (SWT) will gather people together bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised. Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “You will be gathered together bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised.”[9] Then he recited: “Even as We produced the first creation, We shall produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken. Truly shall We fulfill it.” (XXI: 104)

Sahl bin Sa'd said: “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: ‘People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection on reddish white land like a pure loaf of bread (made of pure fine flour). That land will have no landmarks for anybody (to make use of).’”[10]
