Day of Resurrection


According to Islamic tradition, Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Yawm ad-Din is believed to be God's final assessment of humanity.

Other signs being the coming of Isa bin Maryam, appearance of Antichrist, the sun rising from the west, and the Beast of the Earth.

The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Quran and the hadith, sayings of Muhammad.

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.
