A Scene of the Horrors of the Day of Judgment:
There are some wrongdoers whom Allah punishes even in this world, and as for the Hereafter, He will certainly punish them. And there are some who are not punished throughout their lives in this world and their rope is left long. This does not mean that Allah is unaware of their deeds; rather, there is a law with Allah for giving worldly and otherworldly punishment to criminals, which depends on the quantity and quality of the sins. Those criminals who are not punished in this world, their punishment is postponed until the Day of Judgment. The horror and terror of that day will be such that the criminals will not even be able to blink their eyes, and their eyes will continuously witness that scene and will not be able to close. In this state, with their heads raised and their gaze fixed ahead, they will be running towards the field of resurrection; they will not even be able to look down, and their hearts will be pounding with terror and their livers will be in their mouths. On that day, all people will be completely naked, and the terror will be such that no one will even think of looking at another. As is evident from the following hadith: Sayyidah Aisha ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: "You will be raised barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, will men and women not look at each other?" He said: "That time will be so severe that no one will even be conscious of such a thing."
