Belief in the Day of Resurrection is one of the central tenets of
Islamic faith. It is a belief that was preached by all the prophets, and
it is a belief that makes sense of a sometimes incomprehensible world.
Belief in the Day of Resurrection and the final Judgement brings
benefits in this world, on the individual and social level. It makes the
individual focus on what is in his or her ultimate best interests,
guiding the person’s actions in ways that will benefit him or her and
bring happiness in this world and the next. On the broader social level,
this belief imposes controls on human greed and restrains people from
committing transgressions for which they would ultimately have to
answer. The Qur’an and the Sunnah are filled with detailed information
about what will come to pass on that great Day. Drawing upon these
sources of Islam, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar takes us through the events of
that Day, from the first Trumpet-blast and the end of life in the
universe and on earth, through the terrors of the Resurrection and the
ordeals of the Judgement, to the final entry to the place of eternal
abode, in Paradise or Hell. This is a book which deserves to be on
Muslim bookshelves in homes, schools, and Islamic centres, for it deals
with a topic of vital importance to every believer. This Islamic Creed
Series of books has been translated into English by Nasiruddin
al-Khattab.
