Will the Day of Judgment Happen at Nighttime or at
Daytime - Consideration of the Time Differences in Different Locations on
Earth, i.e., Time Zones
- Due to time difference, the happening of the
Day of Judgment should be nighttime on one side of the globe and
daytime on the other side. If a statement in the Quran would
indicate that the Day of Judgment is going to start specifically
at nighttime or specifically at daytime, then it would be in
violation of the time zones' fact.
- The following verse in the (Quran, 10:24),
indicates that the Day of Judgment will happen either at daytime
or at night time depending on the position on earth at that time: “Verily,
the likeness of this worldly life is as the water [rain] which
We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled
produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the
earth is clad in its adornments and is beautified, and its
people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it,
Our Command [Day of
Judgment] reaches it by night or by day
and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not
flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the Ayat [signs] in
detail for the people who reflect”.
