Importance and Terminology
Belief in al-Qiyāmah is considered a fundamental tenet of faith by all Muslims.[4] The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Qur'an and the hadith, as well as in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail. Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is held accountable for his or her deeds and are judged by God accordingly.[Qur'an 74:38].
The importance of the Last Judgement is underlined by the many references to it in the Qur'an and its many names. For example, it is also called "the Day of Reckoning",[Qur'an 71:18] "the Hour"[Qur'an 31:34][Qur'an 74:47], "Day of the Account"[Qur'an 72:130], "Day of the Gathering", "Day of the Reckoning", and the "Great Announcement".
