notes

"In Islám and Christianity, an awaited day when the dead would be raised, good and evil separated, and the return of Jesus and the coming of the Mihdí would occur. It is also known as the 'Day of Resurrection', the 'Last Day' and 'the Hour'. Bahá'ís interpret this event spiritually rather than physically and believe that it refers to the appearance of the Manifestation of God on earth."
– from A Basic Bahá'í Dictionary (1989)

selected quotations
(authoritative sources)
These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"... The spiritual cycles associated with the Prophets of God proceed in like manner. That is, the day of the advent of the Holy Manifestations is the spiritual springtime. It is divine splendour and heavenly grace; it is the wafting of the breeze of life and the dawning of the Sun of Truth. Spirits are revived, hearts are refreshed, souls are refined, all existence is stirred into motion, and human realities are rejoiced and grow in attainments and perfections. Universal progress is achieved, the souls are gathered up, and the dead are quickened to life—for it is the day of resurrection, the season of commotion and ferment, the hour of joy and gladness, and the time of rapture and abandon..."

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, ¶14.7 Material and Spiritual Cycles

It is recorded in the Sacred Scriptures that Christ will return and that His return is conditioned upon the fulfilment of certain signs: When He returns, He will be attended by those signs. Among them: “The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven.” At that time “all the tribes of the earth” shall “mourn” and lament, and “the sign of the Son of man” shall appear “in heaven”, “and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory”. Bahá’u’lláh has provided a detailed interpretation of these verses in the Kitáb-i-Íqán, and it need not be repeated here. Refer to it and you will grasp their meaning..."
[Note 86: See Kitáb-i-Íqán, ¶¶27–42 and 66–87.]

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, ¶26.1

"... Now concerning Mr. Muhamad Ishaq’s questions; first concerning the meaning of “Resurrection” although this term is often used by Bahá’u’lláh in His Writings, as in the passage quoted in your letter, its meaning is figurative. The tomb mentioned is also allegorical, i.e. the tomb of unbelief. The Day of Resurrection, according to Bahá’í interpretation, is the Judgement Day, the Day when unbelievers will be called upon to give account of their actions, and whether the world has prevented them from acknowledging the new Revelation.
The passage in Bahá’u’lláh’s Tablet in which He explains the Súra of “The Sun” should not be interpreted literally. It does not mean that after the Day of Resurrection praise and peace will cease to be vouchsafed to the Prophet. Rather it means to the end of time, i.e. indefinitely and for all times..."
