The Day of Judgment and the afterlife - in the Quran

The Day of Judgment and the afterlife are important concepts in the Quran. Here are some key beliefs and teachings regarding these topics:

Belief in the Day of Judgment: Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment, also known as the Day of Resurrection or the Last Day. It is believed that on this day, all human beings will be raised from the dead and will stand before Allah for judgment. On this day, people will be held accountable for their deeds in this life and will be rewarded or punished accordingly.

The afterlife: The Quran teaches that there is an afterlife, which begins after the Day of Judgment. According to Islamic belief, the souls of the righteous will enter paradise (Jannah), a place of eternal bliss and happiness. Meanwhile, the souls of the wicked will enter hellfire (Jahannam), a place of eternal punishment and suffering.

Accountability for deeds: Muslims believe that everyone is accountable for their deeds in this life and will be judged by Allah accordingly. The Quran states that Allah is aware of all that people do and will reward or punish them based on their actions.

Good deeds: The Quran encourages Muslims to perform good deeds and live a righteous life in order to attain paradise in the afterlife. Muslims are encouraged to perform acts of charity, be kind to others, and follow the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad.

Signs of the Day of Judgment: The Quran and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) mention several signs that will precede the Day of Judgment, such as the appearance of the Antichrist (Dajjal), the emergence of Gog and Magog (Yajuj and Majuj), and the return of the Prophet Jesus (Isa).

The Quran teaches that the Day of Judgment and the afterlife are important realities that Muslims should be aware of and prepare for by leading a righteous life in this world.
