Judgement Day


In Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, the day on which people who have died are resurrected by God, who will judge everyone according to how they have lived, and the world will end. In Islam and Christianity, evil people are sent to hell (Jahannam) and good people to heaven (Jannah).

Many religions hold that evil must be punished, as it is not just that good people should suffer and evil people receive no punishment. The doctrine of a Judgement Day is an expression of this belief. However, many believers do not feel comfortable with the idea of a loving God inflicting eternal punishment with no chance of forgiveness, and have put forward other interpretations of the meaning of hell.
