The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. His saying, the Exalted: in several places, and also His saying, Mighty and Majestic: [Al-Ma'arij 70:4] Shaykh, is the Day of Resurrection something distinct from what follows it?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I mean, there is the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Reckoning.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then what follows it, which is the abiding of the believers in Paradise, or the abiding of the disbelievers in the Fire, is why it is called a day.
The Shaykh : I did not understand.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The Shaykh : No, no, the Last Day encompasses everything from the standing of the Hour until eternity.
The questioner : Okay, and[Al-Ma'arij 70:4]?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the standing that occurs before the people of Paradise are sent to Paradise and the people of the Fire are sent to the Fire, meaning it does not include, for example, the reckoning, the standing, and the severity, which is well known.
The Shaykh : Yes.
