Belief in the Last Day
Belief in the Last Day is one of the essential articles of faith. Belief in the
Last Day consists of belief in everything that the Qur'an or the prophet has
stated about the events of that day and the events that will take place
thereafter. There are various aspects of the day like Resurrection, Judgement
and Reward, Paradise and Hell, etc. that every Moslems should be aware of
and believe in with certainty.
The Qur'an and the Prophet have mentioned graphic details of this
overwhelming day. The more one has knowledge of that day and its events,
the greater effect this belief will have on him. Hence, it is necessary that
every Muslim should learn about the events that would occur before and after
the Last Day.
lmaam Moslem mentions an authentic hadeeth which states that before
the Day of Judgment and the destruction of the earth, Allah will send a cold
wind from the direction of Syria which will take the souls of every individual
who has even the slightest amount of faith in his heart. Therefore, the events
of the end of the earth will be fall on the worst of people, those having no
faith at all.
One of the many events that will take place before this day is that the sun
will rise from the west. At that time, all those people a live will declare their
faith but it will be of no avail to them. Their coming to believe will not be
accepted by Allah. Then, the Trumpet will be blown and all those who are in
the heavens and on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah wills.
Then, it will be blown a second time, and all the dead will be standing,
looking on and waiting. Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said,
"Between the two blowings of the Trumpet there will be forty." The people
said," Is it forty days, Abu Hurayrah?" I refused to reply. They asked, "Forty
years?" I refused to reply, They asked, "Forty months?" I refused to reply and
I added, "Everything of a human body will waste away except for the last
coccyx bone, and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body." (al-
Bukhaaree)
Belief in the Last Day also includes belief in everything that will happen
to a person after his death and before the Day of Judgment. This consists of
the trial in the grave and the joy or punishment in it.
A hadeeth recorded by at-Tirmidhee states that the two angels, Munkar
and Nakeer, come to the person in the grave and ask him three questions,
“Who is your Lord? What is your religion? and Who is your Prophet?" Other
narrations mention the two angels coming and asking him, “What did you use
to say about this man?" (meaning Prophet Muhammad.)

D. Read the following text and find some possible words that have its
antonym!
Belief in the Divine Decree (Al-Qadar)

Al-qadar is an Arabic word which originally means 'measure or amount

whether of quantities or qualities'. The verb form of this word means, among
other things, 'to measure or decide the quality, quantity, or position of
something before one actually makes it.'
It is obligatory upon every Muslim to believe in Al-qadar. Once,
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab swore by Allah and said, ‘if anyone
who does not believe in the Divine Decree had with him gold equal to the
bulk of (Mount) Uhud of gold and then he should spend it (in the way of
Allah), Allah would not accept that from him unless he affirms his faith in the
Divine Decree." (Saheeh Muslim, English Translation, Vol. 1, p.2)
There are four levels of belief in al-qadar:
1. Knowledge: This means to believe that Allah has knowledge of
everything, no matter how small or big it is. Allah sees and has knowledge
of even the smallest black ant upon a massive solid rock in an extremely
dark night. The hidden for Allah is visible and the secret is public. Allah
knows what is secret and what is more hidden than a secret. Allah knows
what is in a person's mind, conceived in his heart, which is not yet uttered
by his lips. Allah even knows the intentions his heart has not yet
formulated. Allah knows that Allah’s creatures will formulate in their
hearts such and-such an intention at such and- such a time. Thus, Allah
possesses foreknowledge of all the deeds of the creation according to
Allah’s Ever-existing knowledge. This includes Allah’s knowledge of all
their affairs with respect to obedience, disobedience, sustenance, and
lifespan. The Qur'an says, “With him are the keys of the unseen. None
knows them but Allah. And, Allah knows whatever is on the land and in
the seas. Not a leaf falls but Allah knows it. And no grain is there in the
darkness of the earth and no moist or dry (thing) but that it is (written) in a
clear record." (Surat ai-An 'aam, 6 : 59)
2. The Recording of Decrees: This means to believe that Allah had recorded
all the decrees regarding Allah’s creatures before Allah created the
heavens and the earth. Hence, Allah not only knew and knows what will
happen, but Allah had also recorded this information in minute detail in

6
 the Preserved Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfoodh). The Qur'an says, “No
calamity occurs on the earth or among yourselves, but it is inscribed in the
Book (of Decrees) before We bring it into existence. Indeed, that is easy
for Allah." (Surat al-Hadeed, 57:22)
3. Allah’s Will: This means to believe that Allah's will is executed and that
Allah’s ability is Absolute. If Allah wills something, it will certainly
happen; but if Allah does not will something, it will never happen. This
refers to everything. It denotes Allah's action of giving life, sustenance,
causing death and so on. It consists of the acts performed by human
beings. Nothing can happen unless Allah wills it and allows it to occur. A
person may intend or try, for instance, to gun another person down, but
such a thing can only happen if Allah decrees it. The shooter may take all
the necessary steps, but if Allah does not will it to occur, it will not occur.
The Qur'an says, "Surely, Allah’s command, when Allah intends a thing, is
only that Allah says to it, 'Be,' and it is." (Surat Yaa Seen, 36:82)
4. Allah's creativity: This means to believe that Allah has created everything
and that there is no other creator except Allah. The Qur'an says, "Allah is
the Creator of all things, and Allah is the Disposer of all affairs." (Surat az-
Zumar, 39 :62)
Hence, everything is a creation of Allah. Even the deeds of mankind are
creations of Allah although they are by man's own free will. The One Who
created that ability and will is no one else but Allah. Therefore, all of the
actions of human beings are created by Allah.
