How can what is stated in the Prophetic Hadith about the sun drawing near on the Day of Resurrection to a distance of one mile—and the evaporation of humans that this would entail—be reconciled with the mention of people sweating in that situation?

The proximity of the sun to creation on the Day of Resurrection poses no difficulty, for the conditions of the Afterlife differ from those of this world. The earth and heavens will be replaced, and people will be resurrected in altered states. The disbeliever will be tormented by things that would make life impossible in this world, yet he will remain alive to taste the torment. Death will come to him from every direction, yet he will not die, and their skins will be replaced so they may taste the torment.
