Will we on the Day of Resurrection know the destiny of every person whether he was righteous or not?
Will we know the facts regarding those who were murdered or died with the truth buried with them? Will we know this truth?
Will we see the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and those who believed in him, and the disbelievers who did not believe in him?

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

On the Day of Resurrection, the veils will be lifted and the truth will be revealed. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “When Allaah Gathers the first and last peoples on the Day of Resurrection, a flag will be raised for every one who committed treachery. It will be said, ‘This is the treachery of so and so the son of so and so.’” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

An-Nawawi said that the meaning of “flag” in this Hadeeth is a sign that defames the person among people.

Usaamah ibn Zayd narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “A man will be brought on the Day of Judgment and thrown in Hell, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around its millstone. The people of Hell will gather around him and say, ‘O so-and-so! What is with you? Did you not enjoin us to do good and forbid us from evil?’ He will reply, ‘Yes, I used to enjoin good and not do it and I used to forbid evil and do it.’” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

In the context of describing the condition of the believers and their eternal pleasure in the Hereafter, Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.* A speaker among them will say, “Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]* Who would say, ‘Are you indeed of those who believe* That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?’”* He will say, “Would you [care to] look?”* And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hell.} [Quran 37:50-55]

You can contemplate the scene of the hypocrites whose light will be cut off upon passing over As-Siraat. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], “Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally.” That is the great attainment.* On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.” It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light.” And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.} [Quran 57:12-14]

You can ponder over the polytheists’ inability to prostrate on the Day of Resurrection. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,* Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.} [Quran 68:42-43]

You can see the scene of disbelievers disputing in Hell when Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And they will say, “Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?* Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?”* Indeed, that is truth – the quarreling of the people of the Fire.} [Quran 38:62-64]

You can see the sermon of Iblees on the Day of Resurrection in Hell. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, “Indeed, Allaah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allaah] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment.”} [Quran 14:22]

There are many similar verses in the Quran for whoever contemplates on them.

The believers will see the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, on the Day of Resurrection at his Hawdh (Basin). He will give water to those who adhered to his Sunnah with his hand and they will never become thirsty again after it. The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “I am your antecedent at the Basin and he who comes would drink and he who drinks would never feel thirsty, and there would come to me people whom I would know and who would know me. Then there would be intervention between me and them. I would say: ‘They are my followers.’ It would be said to me, ‘You do not know what they did after you.’ I will say to them: ‘Woe to him who changes (his religion) after me.’” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Anas ibn Maalik narrated that “A man asked the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, ‘When will the Hour come?’ The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, ‘What have you prepared for it?’ The man said, ‘Nothing, except that I love Allaah and His Messenger.’ The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, ‘You will be with those whom you love.’ Anas said: ‘We were never so glad as we were on hearing the words of the Prophet: ‘You will be with those whom you love.” Anas continued: ‘I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them though my deeds are not like theirs.’” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise, showing his middle and index fingers and separating them.” [Al-Bukhari]

The believers’ nearness to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, will be according to the extent of their good manners. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The most beloved among you to me and the nearest to me on the Day of Resurrection are those who have the best manners.” [At-Tirmithi and its meaning is narrated in Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

There are many other Hadeeths in this regard.

We would also like to inform you that the believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection.

Allaah Knows best.
