Teaching Children about the Day of Judgement: The Changes in the Universe

One of the first things that we need to realize about the Day of Judgement is that there will be HUGE changes in the universe.

Things as we know them now will change. Allah tells us about all these changes in many of the surahs in Juz' Amma.
One of the first things that will happen is that the angel will blow the trumpet and this will be the sign for everyone to rise from their graves. This is the time when Allah brings back everyone to life after death.

One of the greatest proofs that Allah uses in the Quran for bringing us back to life is our creation in the first place. Allah tells us that if He was able to create us in the first place, then it will be even easier to bring us back to life on the Day of Judgement. We need to remember that our existence is from Allah and that we will be brought back to Him.


Let's look at some of these huge changes that will take place.

1. There will be a Huge Earthquake that will flatten the earth. The mountains, rivers, and valleys will all disappear. Only a complete flat earth will be left, which will be the 'Mahshar', the Place of Gathering.

2. The sun, moon and stars also will lose their light.

3. The planets will be scattered.

4. The wild animals will be gathered.

5. The seas will turn into fire.

6. The mountains will be crushed.

7. The Earth will throw out everything that was inside it.


How will this all start and what will happen next? We will look at this in the next post inshAllah.
