The Description of the [Day of] Congregation

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Everyone on the Day of Judgment will be thirsty.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Listen O negligent and fickle one to someone who exhorts and expounds. The Day of Resurrection has been made a day of exposition, questioning, bestowal and exemplary punishment. It is the day when men s deeds will be upturned, and all sins will be computed, when people s pupils will melt with grief and expectant women will deliver what they carry in their wombs.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘And that is the day when Allah will gather all people from the first to the last, standing in subjugation in order to discuss the account [of their deeds] and the recompense for their actions. They will be bridled with their own sweat while the earth trembles under them. Those amongst them in the best state will be those who manage to find a stable place for their feet to stand and an open space for them to breathe!
