{ Whoever believes in God and the Last Day (the Day of Judgment) should do good to his neighbor. }1 { God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds. }2 { Pay the worker his wage before his sweat dries. }3 { A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well, he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man said: “This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.” So he went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink. So, God thanked him and forgave his sins. } The Prophet was asked: “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: { There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human. }4 What Does Islam Say about the Day of Judgment? Like Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each individual for the life after death. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God. This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end. This day is the Day of Judgment. On that day, all people will be rewarded by God according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who die while believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise forever, as God has said: What Does Islam Say about the Day of Judgment?
