[continued]

‘Eschatology. In Islamic doctrine, on the Last Day, when the world will come to an end, the dead will be resurrected and judgement will be pronounced on every person in accordance with his deeds. Although the Qur’ān in the main speaks of a personal judgement, there are several verses that speak of the resurrection of distinct communities that will be judged according to “their own book”. In conformity with this, the Qur’ān also speaks in several passages of the “death of communities”, each one of which has a definite term of life. The actual evaluation, however, will be for every individual, whatever the terms of reference of his performance.’
