Akhirah

Akhirah

Akhirah ( _ar. الآخرة) is an Islamic term referring to the afterlife. It is repeatedly referenced in chapters of the Qur'an concerning Yaum al Qiyamah, the Islamic Day of Judgment, an important part of Islamic eschatology. Traditionally, it is considered to be one of the six main beliefs of Muslims, the others including: Belief in One God, Belief in God's Angels, Belief in the Revelated Books (Torah, Gospel, Qur'an), Belief in the Prophets of God, and Belief in Predestination/Decree.

Much like many other monotheistic religions, eg. Christianity, Muslims have the similar belief of the three-tiered cosmos. This is the belief that there are three cosmos, being heaven and hell, with Earth or humanity in between. Therefore, according to the Islamic beliefs, Allah will play the role of the qadi, weighing the deeds of each individual. He will decide whether that person's "akhirah" lies in Jahannam (hell) or Jannah (heaven). This belief has been previously referred to as the Islamic Day of Judgment.
