IMPORTANCE OF THE LAST DAY

Q         Why is the belief in resurrection important to Muslims in their daily living?                                                                 [4-J-10]
Q         Explain the importance of the Day of Judgment in Muslim belief. [4-N-12]

Death is a physical reality. Muslims believe that after death, the soul of a person is kept in a place called “Barzakh” where they will stay until the Day of Judgment. One day Allah will announce the end of life on earth. Israfeel (as) is ready to announce it and waiting for the command of Allah.There will be a massive earth quake and everything will finish. After some time, Allah will announce that all human beings should be given life again and they should answer Allah for what they did on earth. Allah will do justice and people will be sent to paradise or hell. 
“Truly He who gives life to the dead earth can surely give life
  to men who are dead”.       [41.39]

This concept is the fundamental belief of the Muslim faith. If a Muslim truly believes that Allah is watching them and keeping record of each and every single movement of their life, they will keep themselves away from sins. They will avoid committing sins deliberately. For example, a Muslim does not eat or drink anything when they are fasting even if no one is watching them. It is the concept of the Day of Judgment which stops them.

Besides that, a true Muslim avoids taking revenge for himself because they believe that on the Day of Judgment, Allah will provide them true justice. In short, The Day of Judgment makes a Muslim the best citizen of this world.
