JUDGMENT

And the Hour is coming without any doubt, and God will raise up all those in the graves. (Qur'an, 22:7)

When Earth is flattened out and disgorges what is inside it and empties out, hearkening to its Lord as it is bound to do! O Man! You are toiling laboriously toward your Lord, but meet Him you will! As for him who is given his Book in his right hand, he will be given an easy reckoning and return to his family joyfully. But as for him who is given his Book behind his back, he will cry out for destruction but will be roasted in a Searing Blaze. (Qur'an, 84:3-12)

The Trumpet will be blown, and those in the heavens and those in the ground will all lose consciousness, except those whom God wills. Then it will be blown a second time, and at once they will be standing upright, looking on. And Earth will shine with the Pure Light of its Lord, the Book will be put in place. The Prophets and witnesses will be brought; it will be decided between them with the truth, and they will not be wronged. Every self will be repaid in full for what it did. He knows best what they are doing. (Qur'an, 39:68-70)

New Testament

And [they will] come out-those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:29)

Old Testament

The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. (Obadiah 1:15)

EVERYONE WILL BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT

You have come to Us all alone, just as We created you at first, leaving behind you everything We bestowed on you. We do not see your intercessors accompanying you, those you claimed were your partners with God. The link between you is cut. Those you made such claims for have forsaken you. (Qur'an, 6:94)

New Testament

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:12)

GOD WILL BE FAIR WITH EVERYONE

You will see every nation on its knees, every nation summoned to its Book: "Today you will be repaid for what you did." (Qur'an, 45:28)

Fear a Day when you will be returned to God. Then every self will be paid in full for what it earned. They will not be wronged. (Qur'an, 2:281)

New Testament

God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who, by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. (Romans 2:6-8)

Old Testament

The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. (Obadiah 1:15)

WORLDLY WEALTH WILL NOT BENEFIT PEOPLE IN THE HEREAFTER

As for those who do not believe, their wealth and children will not help them against God in any way. They are fuel for the Fire. (Qur'an, 3:10)

Old Testament

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. (Zephaniah 1:18)

THE APPOINTED TIME

If God were to punish people for their wrong actions, not a single creature would be left upon Earth, but He defers them till a predetermined time. When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward. (Qur'an, 16:61)

Your Lord is the Ever-Forgiving, the Possessor of Mercy. If He had taken them to task for what they have earned, He would have hastened their punishment. Instead, they have a promised appointment and they will not find any refuge from it. (Qur'an, 18:58)

New Testament

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
