Tarikh keramat tersebut ialah 26 Disember 2013, jam 9 pagi di Sekolah Pengajian Siswazah!
Proses pertahankan hujah amat berat dirasakan apabila 'external and internal examiners' cuba menjalankan tugas malaikat Munkar dan Nakir tanpa ada belas kasihan.
Many Muslims believe that, after death, a person's soul passes through a stage called barzakh, where it exists in the grave (even if the person's body was destroyed, the soul will still rest in the earth near their place of death). The questioning will begin when the funeral is over and the last person of the funeral congregation has stepped 40 steps away from the grave. Nakir and Munkar prop the deceased soul upright in the grave and ask three questions: "Who is your Lord? Who is your Prophet? What is your religion?". A righteous believer will respond correctly, saying that their Lord is Allah, that Muhammad is their prophet and that their religion is Islam. If the deceased answers correctly, the time spent awaiting the resurrection is pleasant. Those who do not answer as described above are chastised until the day of judgment.
These angels are described as having solid black eyes, having a shoulder span measured in miles, and carrying hammers "so large, that if all of mankind tried at once to move them a single inch, they would fail". When they speak, tongues of fire come from their mouths. If one answers their questions incorrectly, one is beaten every day, other than Friday, until Allah gives permission for the beating to stop.
Muslims believe that a person will correctly answer the questions not by remembering the answers before death (compare with the Egyptian Book of the Dead) but by their iman and deeds such as salat and shahadah (the Islamic profession of faith). Keterangan ini diambil dari wikipedia dan mungkin tidak benar atau selari dengan al-Quran dan as-Sunnah.
Walau apapun... debaran tetap terasa, biarpun ia tidak sehebat apa yang akan berlaku di alam barzakh.
Aku hanya mampu pasrah padaMu, ya Allah! Engkaulah yang aku sembah dan kepadaMu jua aku meminta pertolongan. "Hasbunallahu wanikmal Wakil!"
Cuma aku pohon padaMu ya Allah untuk mencurahkan idea dan melancarkan percakapanku di hadapan panel nanti. Aku mengharapkan sekiranya Engkau anugerahkan kejayaan kepadaku maka Engkau teguhkan hatiku untuk terus istiqamah di jalanMu. Hidup dan matiku hanya kerana dan untuk Mu!
Sekiranya aku berjaya, jangan Engkau lalaikan daku dengan urusan keduniaan. Jadikan kejayaanku sebagai satu platform untuk aku terus memartabatkan agamaMu! Hindarilah dari perasaan riya', takbur dan merasakan diri ini 'besar'!
Sebaliknya pula jika aku gagal, aku memohon kepadaMu untuk aku redha dengan ketentuanMu ya Allah. Tiada siapa yang aku mengharapkan pertolongan dan pembalasan kecuali pada Mu, ya Allah ya Rabbal 'Alamin.
