In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Belief in the Last Day (the Hereafter) is required for salvation (Quran 2:62, 5:69, 13:5, etc.). The righteous are described as being absolutely certain about the Hereafter (Quran 2:4). And one of the first attributes of God we learn about is "Master of the Day of Judgment" (Quran 1:4).

Given that the Heaven and Hell are eternal, it is for our own good to be aware of the Hereafter and work hard towards salvation. The Quran gives us details about the Hereafter and what happens on the Day of Resurrection:

	The Day of Judgment
[Quran 39:68] The horn will be blown, whereupon everyone in the heavens and the earth will be struck unconscious, except those who will be spared by GOD. Then it will be blown another time, whereupon they will all rise up, looking.*

*39:68 The sequence of events on the Day of Resurrection begins with the symbolic blowing of the horn. The second blowing of the horn―by a creature who was spared from unconsciousness―marks the resurrection of all people; they will be resurrected on today's earth. This earth will then be destroyed by the physical coming of God, then a new earth and new heavens will be created (14:48). We will then be stratified according to our degree of development (Appendix 11).


May God help us be ready for the Day of Judgment.
