Belief in the Last Day (Day of Judgement)

<h3>Belief in the Last Day</h3><p>Among the <strong>six pillars of Iman</strong> (faith) is belief in the <strong>Last Day</strong>, also called the <strong>Day of Judgement</strong>. The six pillars are belief in God, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and divine decree (Qadar).</p><p>Muslims believe that this life is temporary. One day the world will end, all people will be <strong>resurrected</strong>, and each person will be held accountable for their deeds.</p><h3>Events linked to the Day</h3><ul><li><strong>Resurrection</strong> &ndash; the raising of all people back to life.</li><li><strong>The weighing of deeds</strong> &ndash; good and bad actions are measured.</li><li><strong>Reward and consequence</strong> &ndash; Paradise (Jannah) for the faithful and accountability for wrongdoing.</li></ul><h3>Why it matters</h3><p>This belief shapes a person's daily choices. It nurtures <strong>responsibility, humility and sincerity</strong>, reminding us that no good or bad deed is too small to count.</p><div class="callout"><strong>Kenyan context:</strong> A learner who truly believes in accountability on the Last Day will not cheat in a KCSE or end-of-term exam, even when no teacher is watching, because they know their actions are recorded. The same belief makes a market trader in Kongowea give correct change and honest measurements.</div>
