YOGYAKARTA - Faith in the Day of Resurrection is one of six pillars of faith in Islam that must be believed by every Muslim. This belief is not just a belief in the coming destruction of the universe, but also contains spiritual, moral, and social values that are very important in shaping the character of a servant.

The day of the apocalypse is a time when all of Allah's SWT creatures will end their lives, then be revived to account for all their deeds while in the world.

The death toll means being confident that there will be life after death, the day of retaliation for all good and bad deeds, and the absolute justice of Allah SWT will be realized on that day.

Faith in the final day provides many lessons for the life of a Muslim, both in terms of worship, social ethics, to fortitude in facing the test of life.

One of the main lessons of believing in the Day of Resurrection is the growth of a strong urge to continue to do pious deeds. A Muslim who believes in the coming of the day of retaliation will be more diligent in carrying out worship, such as five-time prayers, reading the Qur'an, giving al-Qur'an, fasting, and staying away from in vain deeds.

The belief that every charity will be taken into account and rewarded by Allah SWT in the hereafter will make a servant compete in doing good. He will try to fill his life with useful things, both for himself and for others.

Good deeds are not only seen in terms of gahdhah worship (direct worship to Allah), but also social worship such as helping others, telling the truth, and working seriously.

Another lesson from believing in the Day of Resurrection is the fear of committing sin or immorality. A Muslim who is aware that all his actions will be held accountable in the end will be more careful in acting.

He will avoid things that are forbidden, such as stealing, lying, adultery, or eating illicit property, for fear of the punishment of Allah SWT. Awareness of the presence of hereafter hell and retaliation for every crime is able to become an effective self-control in life.

Even when no one else sees, a servant stays away from sin because he realizes that Allah knows everything, and all deeds will be rewarded in the hereafter.

In addition to improving vertical relations with Allah SWT, trust in the Day of Resurrection also strengthens horizontal relations between humans. A Muslim who believes in the last day will try to maintain an attitude, pay attention to the rights of others, and be fair and honest in society.

He realized that committing wrongdoing to other people, deceiving, or hurting others will not only have an impact on the world, but will also be held accountable in the hereafter. Therefore, faith in the Day of Resurrection encourages a person to become a polite, loving person, and caring for his social environment.

Every human being must face the test of life, whether in the form of economic difficulties, loss of a loved one, disease, or failure in achieving their dreams. However, for a Muslim who believes in the existence of eternal life in the hereafter, all these tests will not cause him to lose hope. He believes that every disaster that is lived with patience and sincerity will bear a great reward in the sight of God.

Faith in the Day of Resurrection instills an optimistic and positive attitude in dealing with the realities of life. A Muslim will be calmer, not easily stressed or frustrated, because he has the confidence that all difficulties are temporary.

With a spacious and full of faith in his heart, he believes that Allah is Just and will replace every suffering with a much greater good in the hereafter.
