as'salaamualikum ;D One of the traditions of the Prophet says that on Resurrection Day, [i]Everybody will be called to rise.[/i] "Children of Adam, lift your heads up out of the grave!" Each soul will rejoin its body, as your consciousness returns to you at dawn.  Daybreak: the spirit recognizes where it lives and slips back into the ruin like a jewel hiding itself in the desert. The goldsmith's soul knows the goldsmith's body, and goes there, not to the tailor. The scholar's soul, back to the scholar. The dictator's soul, back to him. Divine knowing makes each spirit recognize the appropriate body, as a lamb finds its mother at dawn, among the others, as your foot finds its shoe in the dark. Dawn is a practice-resurrection. Be with God then, and you'll know what the [i]real[/i] resurrection will be like. -rumi
