Two Days & Two Nights

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Malik (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) has stated, "Shall I not tell you of those two days and two nights?

1. One day is the day on which the one coming from Allah will reach you with either the glad-tidings of the pleasure of your Rabb (Lord) or with the message of His displeasure, and

2. the second day is the day on which you will be presented in the court of Allah to take your record of deeds and that record of deeds will either be given to you in your right hand or in your left hand.

And the two nights are:

1. One night is the night which the deceased will spend in the grave and he will never have experienced a night like it ever before, and

2. the second night is the night on the morning of which will be the Day of Judgment and then after that no night will come.
