What is meant by belief in the Last Day?
Praise be to Allaah.
What is meant by belief in the Last Day is:
Firmly believing that everything that Allaah has told us about in His
Book and that His Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
has told us about what will happen after death, will indeed happen and
come to pass. That includes believing in the signs of the Hour which
will happen before the Last Day; in death and things that accompany it
when a person is on his deathbed; what comes after death, namely the
trial of the grave and torment or blessing therein; the Trumpet-blast
and resurrection; the standing and terrors of the Day of Resurrection;
the details of the gathering and reckoning; Paradise and its delights,
the greatest of which will be looking upon the Face of Allaah; Hell
and its torments, themost severe of which will be their being
veiledfrom seeing their Lord. And belief in the Last Dayincludes
acting in accordance with what is implied by these beliefs.
If this belief is firmly established in a person's heart, it will bear
great fruits, including the following:
1 – The desire to do acts of obedience and worship, and to strive hard
in doing so, in the hope of attaining the rewards of that Day.
2 – Fear of committing sin or approving of it, for fear of the
punishment of that Day.
3 – The believer will be consoled for whatever he misses out on of
worldly luxuries and delights, because of his hope for the delights
and rewards of the Hereafter.
We ask Almighty Allaah to bless us with sincere belief and unshakeable
certainty of faith… Ameen.
