The Authentic Creed

Belief in the Last Day

Belief in the Last Day includes the belief in all that which will happen after death and about which Allah and his Messenger! informed us. This includes the trial in the grave, the torment or the bliss therein. This also includes the belief in all that will be witnessed on the Day of Judgment, such as the Bridge set over the Hell-fire, The Balance, Reckoning, Reward and Punishment, the giving of the records, which the successful believers will be given in their right hand while the wretched disbelievers will be given in their left hand behind their back. This also includes the belief in the River that will be given to Prophet Muhammad !, belief in Paradise and Hell-fire, belief in the believers' looking at their Lord and His talking to them. A Muslim should believe in all these facts and others that are clearly mentioned in the Qur’aan and authentically reported to have been said by the Prophet.
