' The Last Day, according to the Holy Quran, is when the dead will be raised, then one group will be admitted to Heaven which is the abode of physical and spiritual blessing and one group will be cast into Hell which is the abode of spiritual and physical torment. God Almighty says in the Holy Quran that only those who believe in this Book believe in this Last Day. be Thus, since God Almighty Himself has clearly defined the word 'Allah' and the 'Last Day' in a way which is exclusive to Islam, therefore, whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day will have to believe in the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah upon him.

Since it is included in the concept of Allah, according to Quranic ter- minology, that Allah is the One who has sent Ḥaḍrat Muḥammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, therefore, it is necessary that whosoever chooses to believe in Allah, must also have belief in the Holy 1. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Gracious, the Merciful (Surah al-Fatihah, 1:2-3). [Publisher]
