Meaning Of The Judgement Day:
The judgement day is the appointed time, when the whole mankind and Jinn will be raised after death, and judged by Allah according to His Law, which has been contained in His Holy Books. The fortunate persons among mankind and Jinn who succeed on that Day, will enter Allah’s paradise, while the unfortunate ones will be thrown into Hell.
The Islamic Concept Of Hereafter:
Belief in life hereafter is the third basic postulate of Islam. The world according to Islam, is a place of trial and man is being judged in it. he will have to give account of all that he does herein. Life on this earth will, one day, come to an end, and after death a new world will be resurrected. It will be in this life after death that man will be rewarded or punished for his deeds and misdeeds. Those who live in the present world a life of obedience to the Lord will enjoy eternal bliss in the hereafter while those who disobey His commands will have to garner the bitter fruits of their disobedience.
The Holy Quran sys:
“Towards Him is the return of you all,
The promise of God is sure fact,
Surely he originates and make,
Then He causes it to return again,
In order that He may reward
Those who believe and do good with justice;
And as to those who choose disbelief,
There is for them a boiling water and a painful agony,
On account of what they disbelieved.”
(Younus: 4)
And again:
“And naught is the life of this world,
But a play thing and vanity,
And certainly the future home
Is better for those who practice reverence.
Do you not understand it then?”
(Al-An’am: 32)
