Will a child be resurrected as a child, and a pregnant woman as pregnant, on the Day of Resurrection mentioned in the Hadith: "Indeed, Allah commands you to take out from your offspring a contingent for the Fire"?
The describes the horrors of the Day of Judgment, where Allah Almighty says to Adam, "Bring forth the البعث (those destined for) the Fire." Adam then asks about them, and it is said, "Out of every thousand, 999 are for the Fire and one is for Paradise." At that time, "the young will turn gray, every pregnant woman will abort her burden, and you will see mankind as if they are drunk, while they are not drunk; but severe is the punishment of Allah." Scholars have interpreted this to mean that this occurs on the Day of Judgment after the Resurrection, and it is a metaphor for the intensity of the horror and dread, or that people will be resurrected in the state they died in, so a pregnant woman will abort her burden due to the intensity of the horror.
