Islamic View Of The Last Judgment
In Islam, Yawm al-Qiyāmah (Arabic: يوم القيامة "the Day of Resurrection") or Yawm ad-Din (Arabic: يوم الدين "the Day of Judgment") is believed to be God's final assessment of humanity, with annihilation of all life, resurrection, and judgment.
The time of the event is not specified, although there are major and minor signs which happen with Qiyamah at the end of time. Many earlier Qur'anic verses contain the motif of the impending the Day of Resurrection. The 75th Sura of the Qur'an, "al-Qiyama", has as its main subject the resurrection.

Famous quotes containing the words view and/or judgment:
““Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing,” answered Holmes thoughtfully. “It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
