His other question states that it is said that when the Day of Resurrection occurs, the Muslims who are adherents to the Islamic Shari'ah and believers in the existence of Allah and the Day of Resurrection, but not adherents to the religion of Islam, will be struck by a wind and die, except for the disbelievers, who will witness the terrors of the Day of Resurrection and the events that occur when the Hour stands. How authentic is this?

The questioner : His other question states that it is said that when the Day of Resurrection occurs, the Muslims who are adherents to the Islamic Shari'ah and believers in the existence of Allah and the Day of Resurrection, but not adherents to the religion of Islam, will be struck by a wind and die, except for the disbelievers, who will witness the terrors of the Day of Resurrection and the events that occur when the Hour stands. How authentic is this?
The Shaykh : This is not correct. Rather, when the Hour stands, all people, both Muslim and disbeliever, will witness this great Day and will be afflicted by its hardships, worries, distress, and sorrows. However, Allah the Exalted makes it easy for the Muslim, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Furqan 25:26] And He the Exalted said: [Al-Muddaththir 74:10] So the Day is difficult and severe, and its difficulty and severity are for everyone. But this difficulty and severity is made easy for the believers and is not burdensome for them, unlike the disbelievers.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : This is not correct. Rather, when the Hour stands, all people, both Muslim and disbeliever, will witness this great Day and will be afflicted by its hardships, worries, distress, and sorrows. However, Allah the Exalted makes it easy for the Muslim, as Allah the Exalted said:
And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.
وكان يوما على الكافرين عسيراFor the disbelievers - not easy.
على الكافرين غير يسيرThe questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
