Hesap Günü ya da Kıyamet Günü’ne inanç bütün Müslümanlarda bağlayıcıdır, bu kavram doğru kabul edilen altı inancın parçasıdır. Allah’ın, eylemlerine bakarak yargılamak ve Cennet ya da Cehennem’e gönderme kararını vermek için, Yer üzerinde yaşamış bütün insanları dirilteceği Gün’dür bu.
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).
Bu sure, En Bağışlayıcı, En Merhametli olan Tanrı’nın, Karar Günü’nün Efendisi olduğunu söyler. Bu Tanrı öyle büyüktür ki, Karar Günü de şefkatli olacaktır. Bu olumlu Yargılama aşamasından İslam’da hiç bahsedilmez.
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”.
Hem avukata hem de yargıca güvendiğinizde yargılama olumlu bir şeydir. Allah’a şükürler olsun, Kur’an’a ve Kutsal Kitap’a göre Avukatımız ve hatta Kıyamet Günü’nde Yargıcımız İsa Mesih’te bu güvenceye sahibiz.
