QIYAMAH and THE DOOMSDAY
In Islam, the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgment is believed to be God's final assessment of humanity as it exists.

The angel Israfil, is waiting for Allah to give him the command to sound the horn which will signal the beginning of the Judgment Day. Traditions say Muhammad will be the first to be brought back to life.Accounts on judgement tell that mercy and forgiveness will be granted on that day.
Many chapters/surah of the Qur'an describe proposed events to occur on the day of judgment: * Destruction/flattening of the earth * Creation of a new earth * Resurrection of people * Gathering of the people * Judgement by Allah * Separation of the people who are hell-bound and heaven-bound
