Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Basic Beliefs of Islam Chapter 21 : Fourth Phase of Our Existence Life after Resurrection Resurrection The last phase of our existence, and the second stage of the life after death is Resurrection. This will be the beginning of the life that has no end i.e., the eternal life. This is the end of which there is no end.

In the Holy Quran, Resurrection has been described by various characteristic names, each gives a definite explanation of the event related to the Resurrection. Though, a lot of Quranic verses and ahadith of the Holy Prophet (sws) and Imams(as) are there to enlighten us about the events that will take place one after the other, but still the complete picture of resurrection is beyond our comprehension. It is a very vast subject.

The words, terms, and expressions that we have in the vocabulary of all the spoken languages are not sufficient to encompass the variety of things related to this subjects.

Hence, on the Day of Judgment, Allah will establish a real Supreme Court where nothing but justice will prevail.

However, Allah is Just but His mercy always overshadows His justice. He will pay 10 times or even more against one good deed, but will give one punishment for one evil or will forgive. Court Procedure: This will be a unique Court of Justice, where no one can deny from what he had done. Quran confirms; " On the Day when their tongues and their hands, and their feet will testify against them about their actions.

On that Day Allah will pay them back their just dues, and they will realize that Allah is the truth." (24:24-25) Allah (swt) has prepared a written record of every individual. This written record will be given to him on the Day of Judgment. Quran clearly states on this matter. "The works of each man, We have bound about his neck.
