The 2nd stage of the happenings on the Day of Judgement is the swoon or the death of everything and then the opening up of the graves.

“And the Trumpet shall be blown, then shall swoon (i.e., die) whoever is in heavens and whoever is in the earth, except those whom Allah has willed (to keep alive on that occasion)..”

The Angel of Death will then come to Allah, Most High and say:

          “O Allah! There remains no one with a soul within the Heavens or the earth except for those whom You wish to remain alive.”

Although Allah Knows who remains alive, He will ask the Angel of Death –

“Who remains alive?”

The angel will answer:

          “Only You who is the Ever-Living and who does not experience death. Only the angels who carry the Throne,  (as well as) Angels Jibrail (as), Mikail, and myself remain.”

Allah will say:

“Let death come to Jibrail (as), Mikail (as) and the angels which carry the Throne” and they will all die.

Then Allah will ask the Angel of Death (as) who remains? The angel will answer –

          “Only the One who Lives and never dies, Allah and I remain – O Lord!”

Allah will then say:

“You are a part of My creation and I created you for a purpose and you have completed that purpose – Now you shall die!”   

Then the Angel of Death will die.

Then only Allah will remain: That is because He is the First, without any beginning, and He is the Last, without any end, and He is the Evident, and He is the Eminent. He is over everything with complete Power and Knowledge.

Then the entire earth and Heavens will be rolled up in his right Hand and He will announce:

“I am the All-Compelling (al-Jabbar). Who is it that has any rule or authority today? Who is the King, the Master and the Ruler today?”

There will be no answer – and Allah, Most High will answer –

“To Allah belongs the Sovereignty and the exclusive Existence (Wahiddul-Qahhar).”         

Then Allah, Most High will transform the earth into a flat and white plain and will be stretched like a rubber band.

Then Allah will cause all the bodies in the earth to come out of the earth as if they were vegetables that grew out of it and He will cause the souls to return to each of them all the way back to our father Adam (as). The souls will reach every person that ever entered the earth and they will be resurrected exactly as they were created before, with the same characteristics and the same identifying features, including their fingerprints and their DNA.

They will be resurrected all together.

“And the Trumpet will be blown; then lo! They shall hasten from (their) graves unto their Lord.

“They shall say: ‘Oh, Woe unto us! Who did raise us up from our place of repose?’ (Sura Yaseen: Verse 52)

“When the graves are emptied out, each self will know what it has sent ahead and left behind.” (Surat al-Infitar, 4-5)

Then shall come the next stage, the 3rd stage of affairs on the horrendous day.
