    In Islam, the Day of Judgment is a big day. It is the day when everything ends, and Allah makes final decisions about everyone sins. Imagine a huge court room where every person who ever lived is being judged.

    So, when is it? Well, only Allah knows for sure. It is a big mystery. But there are signs in Islam that tell us when it is getting closer.

    On that day, everyone will be brought back to life, even if they died a long time ago. Then, they will have to answer for every deed they did in their life. It is like a big review of how we live. Good deeds will make people happy, but bad deeds will make them sad.

    Allah will be fair with everyone. He will decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. It is a serious day because it is when every sin counts, and there is no way to go back to life to change things.

    So, Muslims believe it is very important to live a good life. Follow Allah all rules and be kind to others. That way, when the Day of Judgment comes, they will be ready.
