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:
“In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Americans are notorious for looking to their children for approval. How our children turn out and what they think of us has become the “final judgment” on our lives. . . . We imagine that the rising generation is rendering history’s verdict on us. We may resent children simply because we expect a harsh judgment from them.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
