Last Judgment in The Qur'an
The Qur'an contains the majority of description of the Last Judgment, and has had a variety of interpretations of its verses. There are a number of specific aspects:
- The time is known only to Allah.
- Muhammad cannot help it come earlier.
- People will believe that a short time has passed between birth and death. Nothing will remain except God.
- God will resurrect all, even if they have turned to stone or iron.
- Belief in God, Muhammad, the prophets of Islam, the Day of Judgment, doing good and not Shirk, and the five pillars of Islam are needed for salvation: tawheed, salat, fasting, Zakat and Hajj
- Those that have accepted false deities will suffer in the afterlife.
A trumpet will be blown twice: the first time, all creatures will swoon, the second time the resurrection will come. As written in the Qur'an:
The Trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on! —Sura 39 (Az-Zumar), ayah 68Finally, there will be no more injustic:
Surely God does not do injustice to the weight of an ant, and if it is a good deed He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. —Sura 4 An-Nisa, ayah 40Read more about this topic: Islamic View Of The Last Judgment

“Blest are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
That they are not a pipe for Fortunes finger
To sound what stop she please.”
