Faith in the Day of Judgment

Faith in the Day of Judgment


Death is among the few indisputable facts of life. Despite faith, race, status or age, we'll all die. Even though the certainty of death is universally accepted, the question of what happens afterwards has been discussed throughout history. Islam teaches that one’s life does not end on earth; rather, it is accompanied by the eternal life of the hereafter.

The Day of Judgment is also referred to as the Day of Reckoning, the Hour, and the Last Day. The Day of Judgment or Resurrection, al-Qiyāmah, associate to one of the six aqīdah in Islam.
Muslims have faith in the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) when all people are going to be resurrected for God’s judgment according to their beliefs and deeds.


Belief in the soul and also the afterlife gives a context to our present existence. People who focus only on this instantaneous life miss out on the bigger picture. Without a doubt, they become thoughtless of their purpose in life. God reminds mankind, “The life of this world is merely an amusement and a diversion; the true life is in the Hereafter, if only they knew” (Quran 29:64).
