Belief in the Day of Judgement

Belief in the Day of Judgement(Al-Yawm Al-Akhir)
The fifth essential condition of faith (al-iman) is to believe in the Day of Judgement.In other wordsi it şs to believe in the blowing of the trumpet, in the raising of the dead from their graves, in the handing to everyone of his/her Book of Deeds ,in the assembling on the plain of the Final Judgement, in the questioning and in the weighing on the scale(balance) of the deeds done in the previous life in the world , in the intercession(al-Shafa'ah) , in the bridge (al-Sirat), in the fountain (al-Kawthar), in paradis(al-Cannah), in hell (al-Cahannam), and in other issues regarding life in the hereafter.
The Hereafter (al-Akhirah) is the endless  life after this temporary worldly life, Allah the Most Great has created this world and the whole creation for a limited period of time.With the first blowing of the trumpet by Raphael(Israfil, a.s.), Doomsday will suddenly begin, the whole of living creation will die, and our world along with the whole universe will be shattered. With the second blowing of the trumpet, the whole of creation will be brought back to life by Allah , the Almighty, and wil be assembled on the vast plain of the Final Judgement. There , the whole of the creation  will be questioned individually about his/her worldly deeds. At the end of the Final Judgement the good shall be stationed in Paradise and the evil in Hell.One who desbelieves in the Hereafter is considered to disbelieve in Allah the Unique One and in His Prophet (s.a.s.).

The Faith (Al-Iman)

Faith means to accept sincerely all the beliefs and orders thatMohammad(s.a.s.) commununicated to us as had been revealed to him by Allah the Mostt Great. Al-Iman is born of the confirmation of this process in life.However, it is necessary to recite the profession of faith(al-kalimah al-shahadah) with the tongue and to believe it in the heart,both during this earthly life and at the time of death in order to be regarded as a Muslim.
Ash-hadu an-la ilaha ill-Allahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Abdu-hu wa Rasuluhu. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is his Servant and Messenger.
The principles of faith(Al-iman) are six.The Arabic text stating the principles


آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَ مَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَ كُتُبِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَبِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَ شَرِّهِ مِنَ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَالْبَعْثُ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ حَقّ ٌ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لآ اِلَهَ اِلاَ للهُ وَ اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ


Its transcription in Latin letters(roughly approximating its sound)
"Amantu Billahi wa Malaa'ikatihi wa Kutubihi wa Rusulihi wa'l yawmil Akhiri wa bil'Qadari wa shar!rihi min'Allahi Ta'alawa'l ba'thu ba'dal mawti, Hak'kun ash'hadu an-la-ilaha İllalah wa ash'adu anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuluhu."

Translation:
I believe in Allah,the most high, in his ANGELS ,in his BOOKS, in his PROPHETS, in the day of JUDGEMENT, in divine predestination and in fact that both good and evil occur through the will of ALLAH, the Supreme Being and that there will be life after death. I testify that Muhammad(s.a.s) is His servant and messenger.
