The Hereafter and the Day of Reckoning in the Qur'an

Ākhira means "the last, the next": resurrection after death, reckoning and recompense — one of the pillars of faith.

The believer is certain of it

  • "…and they are certain of the Hereafter." (2:4)

Justice to the atom's weight

  • "Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it; whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it." (99:7-8)
  • "On the Day of Resurrection We set up the scales of justice; no one is wronged; even a mustard seed We bring forth." (21:47)

Life is not in vain

  • "Did you think We created you in vain, and that you would not be returned to Us?" (23:115)

The Hereafter says life is meaningful and accountable.
