If this is Solar flare - then what about the Sun itself?

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والصـلاة والسـلام عـلـى رسـول الله، وبعــد

Every once in a while we read this news that: “solar flare is heading toward Earth and could disrupt power grids, satellite navigating systems and airplane flights. The blast sent billions of tons of superhot gas into space etc. etc.” and how the earth’s magnetic fields will protect the earth etc. etc. But who is going to protect us when the sun will be directly above our head.

Al-Miqdaad رضي الله عنه said that he heard the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying:

“On the Day of Judgment, the sun will draw near the servants until it is a mile or two away from them. Then the sun will burn them, and they will be submersed in sweat based upon the amount of their deeds. From among them there will be those whose sweat will come up to their two heels. From among them there will be those whose sweat will come up to their two knees. From among them there will be those whose sweat will come up to their groins (waists). From among them there will be those who will be bridled in sweat (up to their necks) and, while saying this, Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم pointed his hand towards his mouth.”

[Saheeh Muslim (5112), Tirmidhee (2421)]
