About this video

What will the Day of Judgment be like for me, and will I be treated fairly? This calm, sourced explainer walks through it step by step from the Qur'an and Sahih al-Bukhari: the level plain and the hushed voices, the record set up and judgement with truth, each person spoken to by their Lord with no interpreter, the easy reckoning that is only a presentation, how Allah may cover a believer's faults and forgive them, the just balance, and wrongs between people put right. It also checks a popular claim, that people will be called by their mothers' names. Framing is drawn, with attribution, from Maulana Maududi's Tafhim al-Qur'an, Dr Israr Ahmed's Bayan-ul-Qur'an, Ibn Hajar's Fath al-Bari and a lecture by Maulana Ishaq.
