the end of the world, also known as the Day of Judgment or Qiyamah, is a significant event where the universe will be destroyed and all human beings will be resurrected for a final reckoning. After the destruction, God will judge every individual based on their deeds, determining their eternal fate in either Jannah (heaven) or Jahannam (hell).
Key aspects of the end of the world in Islam:
- Signs of the end:The Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad) mention various signs that will precede the end, including major and minor signs.
- Major signs:These include the appearance of Dajjal (the antichrist), the invasion of Gog and Magog, the return of Jesus, and the sun rising from the west.
- Resurrection and Judgement:After the universe is destroyed, all humans will be resurrected from their graves and gathered for judgment, where their deeds will be weighed and they will be rewarded or punished accordingly.
- Afterlife:Islam believes in an everlasting afterlife, where the fate of individuals is determined based on their actions in this life.
Further details:
- No specific timeline:While the Quran and Hadith mention signs, they don’t specify a precise timeline for the end of the world.
- Moral decay:Many signs of the end involve a decline in morality and the spread of evil.
- Judgment:The Day of Judgment is a time of accountability, where every individual will be held responsible for their actions.
- Heaven and hell:Those who are judged favorably will enter Jannah, a place of eternal bliss, while those who are judged unfavorably will be sent to Jahannam, a place of eternal torment.
- Rebirth and the new world:After the destruction, a new earth and a new heaven will be created.
