Question: How shall the people come out of their graves on the Day of Resurrection?
And who will be the first to be dressed?
Response: Allaah سبحانه و تعالى will resurrect man on the Day of Resurrection by reconstructing him from his tail bone. People will grow as perfect creatures just as plants grow from seeds, and palm trees from date stones. They will emerge from their graves barefooted, naked and uncircumcised. They will rush forth like spread locusts, or dispersed butterflies, and will not miss the way to the Assembly Land [where all of mankind shall gather]. In fact, they will know their way to it better than a wild pigeon knows its way to its nest, as they are racing to a target.
The first upon whom the earth will crack open is our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He will be the first to regain conciousness. As for the first to be dressed after Resurrection, then it will be Khaleelur-Rahmaan (Prophet Ibraaheem (Abraham) (‘alayhis-salaam)). Horror will overtake mankind to the point even Prophets will say on that Day: “Myself, myself”. He who reads the aayaat that deal with Resurrection in the Soorahs al-Qamar, al-Ma’aarij and al-Qaari’ah, and the like will have more information about that great event.
It is authentically reported in both al-Bukhaaree and Muslim, that the Prophet ﷺ said:
Then he read and said:
It is authentically reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
It is also authentically reported that the Prophet ﷺ [also] said:
You may get further details about the above ahaadeeth from the book “al-‘Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah” of Imaam at-Tahaawee [with the explanation of Imaam Abil-‘Izz al-Hanafee] who talks about the conditions of the people on the Day or Resurrection.
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet ﷺ and his family and his companions.
