Belief In The Day Of Judgment
Belief in the Day of Judgment
One of the fundamental principles of Islamic credence is the fact that Muslims believe in the world hereafter. One cannot be a Muslim until or unless he or she accepts that there is a world after this world too. Furthermore, a Muslim has to believe in the judgment day also with the life in the hereafter. On judgment day a person’s fate would be decided whether his place is in heaven or hell. In Holy Book Allah Almighty says:
“Indeed, the death from which you flee – indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do.”
This Ayah of Quran makes it perfectly clear that death is inescapable. The other thing that the ayah emphasis on is the fact that we all have to go to Allah Almighty, Who has watched all that we have done in our lives and that when we go to Him, He will put it all open in front of us. Hence, there is no fleeing from Him and one day we will be before Him and He will judge each of us according to our deeds which we had done in this world.
How will the Day of Judgment begin?
“The Trumpet will just be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then a second one will be sounded, when, behold, you will be standing and looking on!”
After the trumpet will be blown, our body parts start to join together and our bones start to merge again. Our brain will start thinking again, our eyes open and we start to have our life back again.
When the trumpet will be blown, it will bring back all the sand of earth that we were made from hundreds and thousands of years ago. The trumpet width is like width of skies and earth together. The graves cracks and opens from the mightiness of the blow. That’s what the power and greatness of this blow is.
What will we say on that day?
All the people on judgment day will shout aloud saying the same word again n again: ‘Myself, Myself’ ‘I don’t care about anyone today except myself’. On the Judgment day no one will recognize anyone even our parents on whose death we cried so much and wished to see them again for just a second, they will also be strangers for us. Allah Says:
“That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, and from his mother and his father, and from his wife and his children.”
On the resurrection day we all will be gathered on the same land. Our life today has become so crowded with so many people but it’s nothing compared to all the millions and billions standing together on that day. There will be no trees for shade, no rock to hide behind and no trees for shade. As there is a verse: “They will all be marshaled before Allah together”.
The Judgment day is inevitable and we Muslims must have strong belief in getting up again after death and standing in the court of Allah Almighty. Hence, as a Muslims we should try living on the rules of Islam in this life so that we would be found virtuous and rewarded Jannah(Paradise) instead of Hell on the Judgment day.
