Akhirah (Arabic: الآخرة) is an Islamic term
referring to the afterlife. It is repeatedly referenced 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, Quran), 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). |
