What is Yaumul Qiyama?

Yaumul Qiyama, also known as the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgment, is a fundamental belief in Islam. It is the day when Allah (SWT) will bring all human beings and jinn back to life to be judged for their deeds, both good and bad, performed during their life on Earth.

On this day, every soul will be held accountable for their actions, and Allah (SWT) will deliver perfect justice. People will receive rewards for their good deeds and punishment for their bad deeds.

Key Characteristics of Yaumul Qiyama:

  • It marks the end of this worldly life and the beginning of the eternal life.
  • All creation will be resurrected from their graves.
  • Everyone will stand before Allah (SWT) for judgment.
  • Deeds will be weighed in a balance.
  • People will enter either Jannah (Paradise) or Jahannam (Hellfire) based on their judgment.
