In Islam, Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Yawm ad-Din (Arabic: يوم الدين‎ “the Day of Judgment”) is believed to be God’s (Arabic: Allāh’s) final assessment of humanity. The sequence of events (according to the most commonly-held belief) is the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body, and the judgment of all sentient creatures.

The exact time when these events will occur is unknown, however there are said to be major and minor signs which are to occur near the time of Qiyamah (End time). Many Qur’anic verses, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the day of resurrection.

Belief in al-Qiyāmah is considered a fundamental tenet of faith by all Muslims.[4]. Belief in the day of Judgement is one of the six articles of faith. The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Qur’an and the hadith, as well as in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad(saas) al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail. Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is believed to be held accountable for their deeds and are believed to be judged by God accordingly.

- The importance of the ‘last judgment’ is underlined by the many references to it in the Qur’an and its many names. For example, it is also called “the Day of Reckoning”, “the Hour”, “the Last Day”, “Day of Judgment”, “Day of the Reckoning”.
