BASIC TENETS OF ISLAM


                  Allah, Who possesses the might to create everything, can
              surely create the :

                  Does He Who created the heavens and earth not have
                  the power to create the same again? Yes indeed! He is
                  the Creator, the All-Knowing. (Surah Ya Sin: 81)


                       FAITH IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT






                  "And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah
                  will raise up all those in the graves." (Surat al-Hajj: 7)
                  The Day of Judgment is the day the duration predestined

              for this universe comes to an end. That day, the trial placed
              upon humanity will come to an end, and this world, the
              arena of this trial, will be reduced to nothing. This is the end
              promised by Allah in the Qur'an. That the physical life of the
              universe will come to an end is a fact confirmed by scientific
              observation. In the Qur'an, a number of verses that depict the
              Day of Judgment are as follows:

                  So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast, and
                  the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with
                  a single blow, On that Day, the Occurrence will occur
                  and Heaven will be split apart, for that Day it will be
                  very frail. (Surat al-Haqqa: 13-16)

                  On the Day of Judgment, Allah will raise all people who
              have died:
