How will one called on the day of Qiyamah?

Q: When we ask ulama the following question: "How will be called on the day of Qiyamah?" In the reply, there may be any of three answers:

  1. By mother's name [as mostly people say].
  2. By father's name except Hadhrat 'Isa (alaihis salaam). [I read it in Ahsanul Fataawa vol. 9 Pg.29]
  3. Some people will be called by their mothers' name and some will be called by fathers' name. [An Alim told me it is written in the footnotes of Abu Dawood 320]

​Please tell me the most correct opinion on this subject matter.

Will Shaitaan, Jannat and jahannum be destroyed before qiyaamah

Q:

  1. I heard in many speeches of Islamic scholars and Ulama that on the day of qiyaamah every thing will be destroyed including angels, sky and every thing except Allah. In that case will shaitaan also die on the day of qiyaamah? If so what will be his reaction, while his death is this mentioned in any authenticated hadith?
  2. I heared that Jannah is being prepared from long back to the day that the person enters in to Jannah. And allah subahanawa thaala him self makes Jannatul firdous five times a day more beautiful.  If every thing will be destroyed at the time of Qayamat what will be situation of Jannah and ​Jahannam?

Seasonal greetings

Q:

  1. Is it permissible to send seasonal greeting cards to non-Muslims at the time of Christmas so long as there are no religious symbols on them and without the intention of celebrating or supporting Christmas?
  2. Can the following from al-ashbaah be used as a justification for sending seasonal greeting cards at Christmas time?

In al-ashbaah it states that if a person says regarding a non Muslim: "May Allah let his kingdom last for a long time" and his intention is that he may be given hidayat in future, or that the Muslims could benefit through his contributions of jizyah etc, then this is permitted.
