Qiyamat Cannot Be Doubted

By: Ayatullah Shaheed Sayyid Abdul Husain Dastghaib
The fact is that if man turns towards his God given mind and nature and thinks deeply he will very soon find that there can be a doubt in each and every possible thing but there is no room for any doubt at all in the belief in God, His creation and the Hereafter. Eternal life after death and reward or punishment in the everlasting Hereafter (Aakherat).
Wa Annas… (Surah Hajj: 22, V: 7). Of course, some people, because of their drowning in desires and constant engagement in material affairs and continuous commitment to sins have disfigured their nature thereby falling in doubt about the above-mentioned doubtless matters.
Bal Yuree Doon…Amaamah (Surah Qiyamah: 75, V: 5) meaning: But man desires that he should go on doing evil things henceforth too).
So the verdict of reason has established that there is an aim and utility and wisdom behind the creation of the earth, the sky and each and every part of the human body which will be known to him on the day when he will have to leave this material world. On the basis of all this, the coming of another world or realm is a must after the end of this world.

Divine Justice Demands A Day Of Judgement
While describing the attributes of the Lord Almighty during the discussion of the Oneness of the Creator of the Universe, we have said that God is Just and so He has provided each and every essential thing for every thing and every being, without demand: Maa Adam…Shanvad meaning: We were nothing, we never demanded to come our as living things. How kind is the Most Merciful Lord Who hears without anyone says or speaks anything.
One of the demands of God's justice is to give reward to those good people who, as we see, passed their whole lives in obedience and worship and piety but, in this world of ours, they got no reward in proportion with their labours and hardships. Likewise, the Just Lord's attribute of Justice also demands that He should give punishment to offenders who, as we see, have indulged in various mischiefs and conspiracies and devastating corruption but no punishment is or has been given to them in this world. They pass away from this world continuing their offences and sins. Often it also happens that mischievous offenders live easy and luxurious lives whereas good people live in trouble. We also see how much cruelty man shows towards man. They loot one another's property; kill one another and trample others honor under their feet. Since God Almighty is Just, certainly a day will come when every one will get his due based on his good or bad deeds. Right of every one will be restored to him or her. Those who had oppressed others will, surely be thrown into fire on that Day as was promised: Innaa…Suraadiquhaa (Surah Kahf: 18, V: 29) meaning: We have prepared fire for the oppressors the flames of which encircle them. The poor person who was unjustly killed will be able to take revenge from the evil oppressor.
Wa Izal…Qutilat (Surah Takveer: 81, V: 8-9) meaning: And God may give reward/compensation to the oppressed victim. Good people may get rewards and evil ones may get chastisement so that His justice may become manifest.

True People Have Informed About Qiyamat
All the Messengers and Prophets who were most true in the entire universe and whose word is an argument (Hujjat) for us (as has been discussed at length in the chapter about Prophethood) have given the news that Qiyamat will come. Pious and religious minded people belonging to every religion and sect were believing in becoming alive after death. In fact religion is based only on two principles: Mabdaa (beginning) and Ma'aad (returning to life). In most of the verses of the Holy Quran mentioning faith in God have also at the same time, is a demand for faith in Aakherat (Hereafter or Ressrection).
Yoominoona…Aakhir. (Surah Aal-e-Imraan: 3, V: 14) meaning: And all the religions and faiths are unanimous about the aforesaid two principles of Mabdaa and Ma'aad.
In short, nor one or two but thousands of true announcers have given the news of the arrival of the Day of Judgement. (So also) logic demands that this thing must be accepted and it must be understood and believed that the Day will certainly come.

The Best Proof OF Resurrection Is The Possibility Of Its Coming
As has been said earlier, the issue of resurrection is not against logic. Whenever mind thinks about it, it says that it is a 'possible or likely' thing. Moreover, all the true informers whose number is one lakh twenty-four thousand (Messengers and Prophets) and so also all of their legatees have said so and the word of each and every one of them is sufficient for the brain to accept.
Some ill informed persons have tried to create a doubt that Iaadat…meaning: Coming back of a perished thing is impossible. They say how is it appeared again! But they have no proof (argument) in support of this claim. The only word which they have with them is 'necessity'. Taking support of this word they say our argument in this matter is the said Iaadat. In case, any body puts forth a logical argument, our reply is as has been given earlier.

There Is No Rearrival Of A Perished Thing In Qiyamat
First, we put forth the word of Khwaja Naseeruddin Toosi. He says: In Qiyamat, there is no returning of a perished thing. It is, rather, the reconnection of separated and scattered elements. The explanation of this word is that the body was a mixture and collection of many atoms and elements. After death it got scattered in different particles. When Qiyamat will occur, all of these scattered particles will, by the Command of God, rejoin one another. Thus the meaning of Maad is the rejoining of scattered particles and the joining of soul with body after their separation. Thus it is understood that Resurrection is not the return of perished things. (A part from this, this issue is also not an agreed one).

The Strongest Argument (Proof) Is The Possibility Of Its Occurance
Secondly, for the existence of any thing, the possibility of the existence of something similar to it is the best and biggest argument or proof. Every man should think over the earlier condition of his body. He will know that in the beginning there were many innumerable particles including dust, air, and some were mixed with air in atmosphere. With God's imperative power they came together, and took the forms of various different things like food articles, vegetables, seeds, grains, fruits and animals etc. All these things, after getting down the throat of a father entered his stomach and, for a second time, scattered in the forms of the limbs of the father. Then at the time of passion or sexual arousal the substance which was made up of all digested materials and which contained the essence of all useful eatables and had taken the form of semen, got dragged from all parts of the body and jumped out of his penis and settled in the womb of a mother. (This is why it is obligatory to wash each and every part of the human body while taking the post-intercourse bath). It is because the semen was drawn from all body parts.
In short, everybody had, in the beginning, remanded in to different forms of separate elements. God collected them in one substance, first in the hearts of earth (dust), water and air (Inna…Turaab; Surah Hajj: 22, V: 5) secondly, it remained scattered in the body parts or organs of a father's body.

He Will Recollect Them For The Third Time Too
After seeing and knowing about the said separation and recollection on two occasions, is there anything which cannot be believed if it is said that in the grave, for the third time, after the decomposing of body and scattering of body particles, the said elements will be recollected for the third time too? Wa Laqad…Tazakkaroon (Surah Waaqiah: 56, V; 62). You have known about the first worldly creation and the first birth, then why do you not, O man! Recollect that you were dust, Our Hand of Power collected you, that you became a part of the father's body in the form eatable matter, then, after these parts were scattered in the father's different body organs, We recollected you, that is, after making you ejected in the form of semen made you enter in your mother's womb. You have already seen this scattering and recollection in the worldly life. Now, even after this observation, why do you get astonished when you are told that We will after the scattering your body particles throughout the universe, recollect them for the third time too!
