المَعادُ Resurrection

1ـ لقمانُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لاِبنِهِ وهُوَ يَعِظُهُ ـ: يا بُنَيَّ، إن تَكُ في شَكٍّ مِنَ المَوتِ فَارفَعْ عَن نَفسِكَ النَّومَ ولَن تَستَطيعَ ذلكَ، وإن كُنتَ في شَكٍّ مِنَ البَعثِ فَارفَعْ عَن نَفسِكَ الانتِباهَ ولَن تَستَطيعَ ذلكَ.

1– Luqman (AS) said to his son, exhorting him, ‘O my son, if you are in doubt about death, then try to avert yourself from falling asleep and you will not be able to, and if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then try to avert yourself from waking up and you will not be able to do that either.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 7, p. 42, no. 13]
 

2ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): المَعادُ مِضمارُ العَمَلِ، فمُغتَبِطٌ بِما احتَقَبَ غانِمٌ، ومُبتَئسٌ بِما فاتَهُ نادِمٌ.

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘(The Day of) Resurrection will be a field of activity wherein a successful man will be delighted at what he has bagged for himself, and a regretful man will grieve at what he has missed out on.’[A`alam al-Din, p. 341]
 

3ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ مِن مَواعِظِهِ ـ: اِعلَمْ يَابنَ آدَمَ أنَّ مِن وَراءِ هذا أعظَمَ وأفظَعَ وأوجَعَ لِلقُلوبِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ، ذلكَ يَومٌ مَجموعٌ لَهُ النّاسُ وذلكَ يَومٌ مَشهودٌ، يَجمَعُ اللّه‏ُ فيهِ الأوَّلينَ والآخِرينَ.

3– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said in one of his exhortations, ‘Know O son of Adam that beyond this [life] is something greater, more horrendous and more painful for the hearts – the Day of Resurrection. That is the day when people will be gathered and that will be an eventful day wherein Allah will gather people from the first to the last.’[al-Kafi, v. 8, p. 73, no. 29]
