The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. I am confused about how to reconcile Allah’s saying: [Al-Ma'arij 70:43] and His saying, Exalted and Majestic is He: [Al-Ma'arij 70:43] meaning that they seem to know their path and have signs to follow?
The Shaykh : Do you know how many days the Day of Resurrection is?
The questioner : Fifty thousand years.
The Shaykh : Well, conditions change, so they are like scattered locusts, and then they find the way and rush forward.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : The time is up. Do you have a question?
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
