As for the disbelieving (or corrupt) man, when he leaves this world and enters the Hereafter, stern and harsh angels come down to him from heaven. Their faces are black, and they bring with them sack-cloth from Hell. They sit around him, as far as the eye can see. The Angel of Death comes and sits at his head and says, ‘O evil soul, come out to the anger and wrath of God!’... The soul will be dragged out of his body with as much difficulty as a many-pronged skewer being pulled through wet wool (the veins and nerves will be destroyed by it). He will be cursed by every angel between heaven and earth, and by every angel in heaven. The gates of heaven will be locked and the people of every heaven will pray to God not to allow his soul to ascend through their domain. He will take it and immediately put it into the sackcloth. It will stink like the foulest stench of dead flesh ever witnessed on earth. They will take the soul up, and whenever they take it past a group of angels, they will say, ‘Who is this evil soul?’ They say, ‘It is so-and- so the son of so and- so,’ using the worst names with which he was addressed in the world (They will go on) until they reach the first heaven. They will ask for it to be opened to them, and it will not be opened. ‘...No opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the Garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle…’(Al-Araaf 7:40) God, may He be glorified and exalted, will say, ‘Register his book in Sijjin, in the lowest earth’ Then God will say, ‘Take him back to earth, for this was my promise: I created them from it, I will return them to it, and I will resurrect them from it again.’ So his soul will be thrown down from the heaven until it reaches his body. ‘...If anyone assigns partners to God; he is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far distant place.(22:31)So his soul will be returned to his body. [He will hear the footsteps of his companions when they leave him (in the grave)]. Two stern angels will come to him, rebuke him, and sit him up. They will ask him, ‘Who is your Lord’ He will say, ‘Hah-hah [due to excruciating pain], I don’t know!’ They will ask him, ‘What is your religion?’ He will say, ‘Hah-hah, I don’t know.’ They will ask, ‘What did you say about this man who was sent among you?’ He will not even know his name, but he will be told; ‘Muhammad,’ and he will say, ‘Hah-hah, I don’t know! I heard the people saying such-and-such.’ He will be told, ‘May you never know!’ Then a voice will call from heaven, saying, ‘He has lied; so furnish his grave from Hell, and open for him a gate to Hell.’ So some of its heat and venom will reach him, and his grave will be constricted until his ribs are crushed together. There will come to him a man with an ugly face, badlydressed, and foul-smelling. He will say, ‘I bring you bad news.’ This is the day that you were promised.’ He will say, ‘And you, may God give you even worse news! Who are you? Your face brings bad news!’ He will say, ‘I am your evil deeds. By God, I only ever saw you reluctant to obey God and ever eager to disobey Him. May God repay you with evil!’ Then there will be sent to him one who is blind, deaf, and dumb, who will carry in his hand an iron rod which, if he were to beat a camel with it, would turn it to dust. He will beat him with it. Then God will restore him, then he will be beaten again. He will emit a scream that the whole of creation will hear, except for men and jinn. Then a gate will be opened for him to Hell, and his grave will be furnished from Hell. He will say, ‘My Lord; may the Hour (of Judgment) never come!’
