إِنَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ (أَيِ الْحَيَاةُ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ) لَصَادِقٌ، وَإِنَّ الدِّينَ (أَيِ الْحِسَابَ وَالْجَزَاءَ وَالْمُكَافَأَةَ) لَوَاقِعٌ حَقًّا.

Verily, that which you are promised (that is, life after death) is true, and deep (the reckoning and the judgement and retribution) must indeed come to pass.

(الذاريات 51:5-6)

(adh-Dhaariyaat 51:5-6)

هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ * فَذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ * وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Have you noticed the person who denies Deen (the life after death)? He is one who spurns the orphan, and does not urge people to feed the needy and the indigent.

(سورۃ الماعون ١٠٧:١-٣)

(al-Maa’oon 107:1-3)

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ؟ ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ؟ يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا، وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ. (الانفطار ٨٢: ١٧-١٩)

And what do you know of the Day of Deen? Yea, what (little) do you know of the Day of deen. That is the Day when no human being shall be able to be of any service to another, the Day on which all authority and dispensation will tangibly be in the hands of Allah. (al-Infitaar 82:17-19)

من الواضح أنّ الكلمة في هذه الآيات قد استُعملت للدلالة على الحساب النهائي حين يُبعث الناس من قبورهم، وعلى الجزاء أو العقاب الذي يلي ذلك.

Obviously, in these verses, the word has been used to imply both the final reckoning when men shall have been raised from the dead as well as the reward or punishment which will follow.
