How can people follow the sun and the moon while they are being tormented for that in their graves, and what will be the state of the believing knowledgeable people regarding this Hadith when Allah Almighty comes to them in the first image?
Al-Qastalani said: The following of those who worship other than Allah will be by their persistence in their belief in them, or by their being driven by force to the Fire. The latter is more probable, based on the verse: ﴿Gather those who wronged, and their spouses, and what they used to worship. Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire﴾.
This following will be a manifestation of truth and a distinction between people, as Ibn Hajar said: "O people, is it not justice from your Lord, who created you, fashioned you, and provided for you, and then you turned away from Him to others, that He should assign each of you to what he had turned to?" They will say: "Yes." Then he will say: "Let every nation go to what it used to worship."
And Allah will come to the believers on the Day of Resurrection in a form other than the form in which they saw Him the first time, so they will not recognize Him. Then He will come to them in the form they recognize, which is the uncovering of the Shin, as per the verse: ﴿On the Day when the Shin will be uncovered, and they will be invited to prostrate﴾. Then everyone who used to prostrate willingly will fall prostrating.
