Al-Ākhirah (, derived from Akhir which means last, ultimate, end or close) is an Arabic term for "the Hereafter".
In Islamic eschatology, on Judgment Day, the natural or temporal world (dunya) will come to an end, the dead will be resurrected from their graves, and God will pronounce judgment on their deeds, consigning them for eternity to either the bliss of Jannah (heaven) or the torment of Jahannam (hell).
