The Lesser Resurrection

Summary

The Lesser Resurrection is mentioned in Qur'an and Sunnah as the death of every person and their raising in the barzakh — a sign of the Hour and a day of indescribable terror. It includes events beyond imagination: the blowing of the Trumpet, the emergence of people from their graves, their gathering to the Gathering Place, and their presentation for reckoning.

The Gates of Paradise

Paradise has eight gates, as the Sahih reports, each with its people of deed: a gate of prayer for the people of prayer, a gate of jihad, a gate of al-Rayyan reserved for the fasting, and a gate of charity. The Prophet said: «Whoever spends a pair in the way of God is called at the gates of Paradise: O servant of God, this is good — whoever was of the people of prayer is called from the gate of prayer».
