Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
All right, Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the nearness of the sun on the Day of Resurrection with the presence of darkness?
Answer:
The Day of Resurrection, my brother, has conditions that are not just one state; it has different and great conditions that no one knows except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So there is no contradiction. We follow the evidence. This is from the knowledge of the unseen, and we do not say anything about it except with evidence. On the Day of Resurrection, there will be darkness, and there will be the nearness of the sun, and there will be severe heat, and there will be distress. Yes.
