Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Basic Beliefs of Islam Chapter 14 : Qiyamat - Doomsday Qiyamat, resurrection or the day of judgment is the fifth fundamental belief in Islam. The doctrine of Tawhid and resurrection are the most basic concepts of Islam which were emphasized by all the prophets. This is the reason that we find these two concepts in almost all the religions of the world.

However, in other religions, the concept of resurrection has been distorted like other teachings of the prophets and only Islam gives correct and accurate information about the occurrence of this great event. The Doomsday: Why! How! and When! Why the Doomsday must occur ? How the Doomsday would occur? When the Doomsday shall occur? These are indeed very pertinent questions. Almost every nation has asked these questions from their prophets.

But mostly the questions were asked in sarcastic manner to ridicule the actuality of the concept. Basically, those who are not capable to understand, why the universe was created, are not qualified to comprehend, why the universe should have an end. But, even those scientists who reject the core concept of the creation, believe in an inevitable occur rence of the Doomsday. The Holy Quran has answered these and many other related questions about the Doomsday in hundreds of verses.

Allama Faiz-i-Kashani, one of the renowned scholar of Islam, has discovered more than 100 names of this great event and said that the significance of each name is that it reveals a peculiar secret about the incident . The most common name of this event is Qiyamah which has appeared 70 times in the Holy Quran.
