What is Akhira?
is an Islamic term referring to the afterlife. It is repeatedly referenced in chapters of the Quran concerning the Last Judgment, an important part of Islamic eschatology. Traditionally, it is considered to be one of the six main beliefs of Muslims, the others including: Tawhid (unitarianism), belief in the angels, belief in the Revealed Books (Scrolls of Abraham, Tawrat, Zabur, Injil and Quran), belief in the prophets and messengers, and belief in predestination.
According to the Islamic beliefs, God will play the role of the qadi, weighing the deeds of each individual. He will decide whether that person’s ʾākhirah lies in Jahannam (Hell) or Jannah (Heaven) on the basis of the weight of either good or bad deeds in comparison with one another. The judgment doesn’t depend upon the amount of deeds, deeds are judged on the basis of the will behind it.
According to Islam, death is not the end of the life, but it is a transferral from this world to everlasting world.[2] With the withdrawal of the spirit from the body, the soul’s life in the Barzakh begins until the Day of Resurrection. According to the deeds of the believer and disbeliever, their Barzakh differs.[3]
