SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN<br />
will answer the questions properly <strong>and</strong> two angels of glad tidings will come to escort him<br />
to the Paradise of the unseen world.<br />
6. The first blow of the trumpet: Both the seen <strong>and</strong> unseen worlds will exist until the first<br />
blow of the trumpet on the last day, when all living things, including angels <strong>and</strong> souls,<br />
will die. Nothing will be left except the living God.<br />
7. The second blow of the trumpet <strong>and</strong> the resurrection: When the second blow occurs,<br />
God will re-create everything <strong>and</strong> the souls will return to their physical bodies for the<br />
Day of Judgment.<br />
8. Accounting: Every person will be given his book of deeds <strong>and</strong> will be asked to judge<br />
himself. If a person tries to deny a bad deed, his body’s organs will witness against him.<br />
Accounting will be only for those who have both good <strong>and</strong> bad deeds. The pious ones<br />
who have only good deeds will be taken to Paradise without accounting, <strong>and</strong> the evil<br />
ones who have only bad deeds will be taken to the hellfire without accounting.<br />
9. Bridge over the hellfire. Everyone must cross the bridge over hell fire, which is said to<br />
be sharper than a blade <strong>and</strong> thinner than a str<strong>and</strong> of hair. The more good deeds a<br />
person has, the faster he will cross over. Some will cross over like a flash of light. Some<br />
might take years to cross. Others might fall into the hellfire below.<br />
10. The intercession: While the people with only a few sins are taken for their punishment,<br />
the prophets <strong>and</strong> their true successors will intercede for them with the permission of<br />
God. By this, God shows His great appreciation to His beloved servants.<br />
11. Eternal hellfire <strong>and</strong> eternal Paradise: On the Day of Judgment, the evil ones will go to<br />
the hellfire. Some of the evil ones will be in the hellfire eternally <strong>and</strong> others might<br />
eventually come out of the hellfire after their sins have been purged. The good ones will<br />
be taken to Paradise to eternal enjoyment <strong>and</strong> fulfillment. In Paradise, there are<br />
bounties <strong>and</strong> blessings <strong>beyond</strong> our imagination <strong>and</strong> thought. As mentioned in the<br />
Quran, the greatest bliss is God’s pleasure.<br />
