Akhirah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akhirah (Arabic: الآخرة) is an Islamic term referring to the afterlife. It is repeatedly referrenced in chapters of the Qur'an concerning Yaum al Qiyamah, the Islamic Day of Judgment, an important part of Islamic eschatology. Traditionally, it is considered to be one of the six main beliefs of Muslims, the others including: Belief in One God, Belief in God's Angels, Belief in the Revelated Books (Torah, Gospel, Qur'an), Belief in the Prophets of God, and Belief in Predestination/Decree.
According to many Muslims, Allah will play the role of the qadi, weighing the deeds of each individual. He will decide whether that person's akhirah lies in Jahannam (hell) or Jannah (heaven).
