La croyance au Jour du Jugement, ou Al Qiyamah, est obligatoire pour tous les musulmans, le concept faisant partie des six articles de foi. C'est le jour où Allah ressuscitera tous les hommes qui ont vécu sur la Terre pour les juger par leurs actes et leur assigner le Paradis ou le feu de l'Enfer.
We believe that judgment is an integral part of God’s nature; it is His characteristic divine prerogative. To understand God means to know and comprehend His judgments, which are very comprehensive. Through the study of His judgments, we can know who He is and what is His character. God actually invites us to understand His judgments in order to be able to deliberately declare that He is love and justice (Injil Romans 3:4; Tawrat Psalms. 51:4; 34:8; Injil Philippians 2:10-11).
In the Bible there is a twofold definition of God’s judgment: positive and negative. Both aspects are usually presented and are complementary, but it is necessary to emphasize that the primary meaning is undeniably a judgment in favor of God’s faithful people (Tawrat Deuteronomy 32: 36; Tawrat 1 Chronicles 16: 33-35; Tawrat Daniel 7: 22; Injil Hebrews 9: 27-28). When God judges, it means first of all that He justifies, delivers, saves, vindicates, and protects. Judgment means justification, salvation, deliverance, and vindication. There are many examples of this positive aspect of the judgment of God, because biblical teaching about judgment is first of all redemptive in nature (Tawrat Psalms 76: 8-9).10 David can ask God: ‘Judge me, O Lord’11 (Ps. 7:8), because he knows that judgment is a vindication; it is God’s intervention on behalf of the saints; it is His vindication against our enemies. In the divine heavenly court, judgment is pronounced ‘in favor of the saints of the Most High’ (Tawrat Daniel 7:22). Nothing can be better than this forensic proclamation, because on this verdict depends the eternal life of the redeemed.
I can see a same picture in Islam also, we can see that in the first Sura (Al Fatiha), it says: “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straightway, The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray” (Al-Qur’an, Al-Fatiha 1. 1-7).
Ce verset dit que Dieu, qui est le Très Miséricordieux, le Très Gracieux, est le Maître du Jour du Jugement. Alors, combien ce Dieu est grand, et combien le Jour du Jugement sera miséricordieux. Cette phase positive du Jugement n'est même pas évoquée dans l'Islam.
Another verse that we can look at “And who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of Judgment” (Al-Shuara 26:82). He is looking for the Day of Judgment, because he is hoping that God will forgive him. I can see Prophet David’s picture here saying, “Judge me O God”.
Le jugement est une chose positive lorsque vous avez la sécurité d'un avocat et du juge en même temps. Grâce à Allah, nous avons cette assurance en Isa Al-Masih qui est notre avocat et même le juge au jour du jugement selon le Coran et la Sainte Bible.
