A Call for Unity

Belief in the Day of Judgment

Belief in the Hereafter and the Day of Judgment are cen-
tral to Islam. All people will be resurrected in order to be
judged on what they did in this world. On that day, people
will be held personally accountable and will find no one to
help them or shoulder their sins. Believers who have done
good will have an easy Day of Judgment; evil-doers and un-

believers will find that Day to be very harsh.
Allah reveals the details of this Day. For example, noth-
ing will remain secret, not even the smallest things, and
everyone's good and evil deeds will be proclaimed and re-
warded. Allah reveals that:
We will set up the Just Balance on the Day of
Resurrection, and no soul will be wronged in any way.
Even if it is no more than the weight of a grain of a mus-
tard seed, We will produce it. We are sufficient as a
Reckoner. (Surat Al-Anbiya: 47)

On that day, the unbelievers' ears, eyes, and skin will
bear witness against them:
When they reach it [the Fire], their hearing, sight, and
skin will testify against them concerning what they did.
(Surat Al-Fussilat: 20)
Prophets and other witnesses will give evidence when
people account for their deeds on Earth. Allah, Who is infi-

nitely just, will judge each individual:
And Earth will shine with the Pure Light of its Lord, the
Book will be put in place, the Prophets and witnesses
