What Does Islam Say about the day of judgment

What Does Islam Say about
the Day of Judgment?
Like Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each individual for the life after death. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God. This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end. This day is the Day of Judgment. On that day, all people will be rewarded by God according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who die while believing that ⌠There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God■ and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise forever, as God has said:


And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever. (Quran, 2:82)

But those who die while not believing that ⌠There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God■ or are not Muslim will lose Paradise forever and will be sent to Hellfire, as God has said:

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. (Quran, 3:85)

And as He has said:

Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (Quran, 3:91)

One may ask, ▒I think Islam is a good religion, but if I were to convert to Islam, my family, friends, and other people would persecute me and make fun of me. So if I do not convert to Islam, will I enter Paradise and be saved from Hellfire?▓

The answer is what God has said in the preceding verse, ⌠And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.■

After having sent the Prophet Muhammad to call people to Islam, God does not accept adherence to any religion other than Islam. God is our Creator and Sustainer. He created for us whatever is in the earth. All the blessings and good things we have are from Him. So after all this, when someone rejects belief in God, His Prophet Muhammad , or His religion of Islam, it is just that he or she be punished in the Hereafter. Actually, the main purpose of our creation is to worship God alone and to obey Him, as God has said in the Holy Quran (51:56).

This life we live today is a very short life. The unbelievers on the Day of Judgment will think that the life they lived on earth was only a day or part of a day, as God has said:

He (God) will say, ⌠How many years did you stay on the earth?■ They will say: ⌠We stayed a day or part of a day....■ (Quran, 23:112-113)

And He has said:

Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True King. None has the right to be worshipped but Him... (Quran, 23:115-116)

In comparing this world with the Hereafter, the Prophet Muhammad said: {The value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like what your finger brings from the sea when you put it in and then take it out.}1 The meaning is that, the value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like a few drops of water compared to the sea.

Hey kazonova, whatz up, how's it going? I also like you believe in ajudgement day, although I don't believe that those who simply "believe in God" will escape judgement. I also very much so believe that we are saved not of good works! Just as the Word says: "For by grace are saved, through faith, that not of yourselves...not of works, lest ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. Dear friend, the only saving power lies in the blood that was shed for you and me! "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." Although I will give you guys a "break" as Nonson requested.

So Kazonova, is it that hard not to see we all do bad things(sin) since the day were'r born??? I think with all the Muslim violence, for you, that ought to be most clear, that we were all born with a sin nature!! Thanks and bye bye. -PaulL-

(4) Forgiveness for All Previous Sins
When someone converts to Islam, God forgives all of his previous sins and evil deeds. A man called Amr came to the Prophet Muhammad and said, ⌠Give me your right hand so that I may give you my pledge of loyalty.■ The Prophet stretched out his right hand. Amr withdrew his hand. The Prophet said: {What has happened to you, O Amr?} He replied, ⌠I intend to lay down a condition.■ The Prophet asked: {What condition do you intend to put forward?} Amr said, ⌠That God forgive my sins.■ The Prophet said: {Didn▓t you know that converting to Islam erases all previous sins?}1


After converting to Islam, the person will be rewarded for his or her good and bad deeds according to the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad : {Your Lord, Who is blessed and exalted, is most merciful. If someone intends to do a good deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, (a reward of) ten to seven hundred or many more times (the reward of the good deed), will be recorded for him. And if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, a bad deed will be recorded against him or God will wipe it out.}2

On converting to Islam on becomes but another nut in the machine of dung-pushing towel heads. And, of course, one needs to purchase a goodly supply of sheets, ala the KKK.
