Qiyaamat: The Day of Judgement

 Qiyaamat means the Day of Judgement or Resurrection.

The day when everyone will be brought back to life to account for their deeds.

Then, according to their deeds, they will be either be rewarded by being sent to Heaven or punished by being sent to Hell.

There was a Muslim boy who used to steal sweets from the Corner Shop. He used to do it secretly and hide everything in his room. One day his friend came visiting and saw all the sweets in his room. Now the boy was terrified. Would the boy tell someone what he had seen? How would the boy face his family and friends in the mosque? He could not sleep at nights as he worried about everybody finding out about his stealing.

What a strange boy! He was more scared of his friend than of Allah. Allah sees all we do and there will be a day when we will have to account for all we have done. That will be the Day of Judgement.
