Allah Almighty says: {and have awe of Me.} [Al-Baqarah: 40] He also says: {Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.} [Al-Burūj: 12] And He says: {And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe. Indeed in that is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day for which the people will be collected, and that is a Day witnessed. And We do not delay it except for a limited term. The Day it comes no soul will speak except by His permission. And among them will be the wretched and the blissful. As for those who were condemned, they will be in the Fire. For them therein is [violent] sighing and sobbing.} [Hūd: 102-106] He also says: {And Allah warns you of Himself} [Āl-‘Imrān: 28] And He says: {On the Day a man will flee from his brother, and his mother and his father, and his wife and his children. For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.} [‘Abasa: 34-37] And He says: {O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing. On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from what she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allah is severe.} [Al-Hajj: 1-2] He also says: {But for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens.} [Ar-Rahmān: 46] And He says: {And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other. They will say: “Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah]. So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire. Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful.”} [At-Tūr: 25-28] The verses in this regard are many. Our purpose was to cite some of them.

By the One other than Whom there is no other god, one of you would do the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise until there is only one cubit between him and it, and destiny would come to pass, and he would do the deeds of the inmates of Hellfire, so he will enter it. And one of you would do the deeds of the inmates of Hellfire until there is only one cubit between him and it, and destiny would come to pass, and he would do the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, so he will enter it."

The sky has squeaked, and it has every right to do so, for it does not have a space of four fingers where there is no angel putting his forehead in prostration before Allah Almighty. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much; you would not enjoy women in bed; and you would go out to the open plains loudly imploring Allah Almighty.” [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi; and he classified it as Hasan (sound)]
و«أَطَّتْ» بفتح الهمزة وتشديد الطاءِ، وَ«تَئِطُّ» بفتح التاءِ وبعدها همزة مكسورة، والأَطِيطُ: صَوْتُ الرَّحْلِ وَالْقَتَبِ وَشِبْهِهِما، وَمَعْنَاهُ: أَنَّ كَثْرَةَ مَنْ في السَّمَاءِ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ قَدْ أَثْقَلَتْهَا حَتَّىٰ أَطَّتْ. وَ«الصُّعُدَات» بضم الصاد والعين: الطُرُقَاتُ. ومعنىٰ «تَجْأَرُونَ»: تَسْتَغِيثُونَ.

411/16 - ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The people would be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, will men and women be all together, looking at one another?” Thereupon, he said: “O ‘Ā’ishah, the matter would be too serious for them to care about that.”
وفي روايةٍ: «الأَمْرُ أَهَمّ مِن أَن يَنْظُرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إلىٰ بَعْضِ». متفقٌ عليه.

3) Women during the Prophet’s lifetime were perfectly modest. Here is ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) feeling shocked when she heard that men and women would be gathered naked.
