How will the sun on the Day of Resurrection draw near to the creation by the measure of a mile, yet not burn them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The believer's duty towards news of the unseen is acceptance and submission without asking "how?" or "why?", because these matters transcend human comprehension. One must submit to and believe in what has been reported, such as the sun drawing near to creation on the Day of Judgment by the measure of a mil (mile), and any additional questions are considered an innovation (bid'ah). Bodies on the Day of Judgment will be resurrected whole and strong, able to withstand the sun's proximity and standing for fifty thousand years without food or drink, for the capacity of bodies in the hereafter differs from their capacity in this world.
