[47:18] Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them suddenly? All the signs thereof have already come. Once the Hour comes to them, how will they benefit from their message?
It is necessary for us to believe in
judgement day as muslims and the creation of the almighty. Just like Allah has said in Surah Mumin-
The hour will certainly come: Therin is no doubt, yet most men believe not...
The arabic word
Qiyamat, is another word for
judgement day, resurrection. It points towards the complete destruction of the Universe. So, when will this all happen? This is a question which is born in every muslim's mind by nature... The answer is given by Allah (swt) in the Quran:
[7:187]. They ask you about the Hour, when it will come to anchor. Say: "It is my Lord alone Who knows it; none will disclose it in its time but He. It weighs heavily on the heavens and the earth. It does not come to you except unawares." They ask you, as if you (being a Messenger required or meant that you) were well-informed of it. Say: "It is indeed God alone Who knows it, but most people have no knowledge (of this)."
[17:51]. "Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest (to be raised up),- (Yet shall ye be raised up)!" then will they say: "Who will cause us to return?" Say: "He who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards thee, and say, "When will that be?" Say, "May be it will be quite soon!Another verse in the quran also mentions the end;
All prophets (noah, david, jesus) that were sent down told their nations about Judgement Day, the last prophet being the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He told his companions about Judgement Day in great detail.
In Sahih al-Bukhari, there is a hadith which states that a Bedouin asked the Prophet about the Hour. He said, "It will surely come to pass. What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have not prepared much in the way of prayer and good works, but I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet said, "You will be with those you love."The Muslims had never rejoiced as much they did when they heard this hadith.
Everyone in this world is well aware of the fact that this life is mortal. All of us are sent in to this world for some specific time after that we have to dwell in eternal life which starts after the end of this life! Do not delay or waste time, start remembering your creator today and seek forgiveness abundantly.
"Remember Me, I will remember you; thank Me and reject Me not" (Quran 2:152).
