Imān in the Day of Judgement is imān in the Resurrection. It is the time when the stay of the creation in this (worldy) life terminates. All those in it shall die, and then Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ will resurrect the dead. He will revive their bones whilst they had become decomposed, restore the bodies to their previous state and return to them their souls. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“Then, on the Day of Resurrection, shall you be raised up” [TMQ-Mu'minūn: 16]
And
“That! Because Allah is the Reality: He it is Who gives life to the dead, and it is He who has power over all things. And the Hour is coming: there is no doubt about it, and Allah shall raise up all who are in the graves” [TMQ-Hajj: 6-7]
And
“He says, ‘Who can revive (dry) bones and ones decomposed ?’ Say, ‘He shall revive them Who created them in the first instance’” [TMQ Yāsīn: 78-79]
And
“Say: those of old and those of later times! All shall be gathered for the meeting appointed for a Day known.” [TMQ Wāqi'ah: 49-50]
Part of imān in the Day of judgement is the imān in that people will be given their records. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: We shall bring out for him, on the Day of Resurrection, a scroll, which he will see spread open. (It will be said to him:) ‘Read your (own) record…’”. [TMQ Isrā’: 13-14]
So the believers will be given their records in their right hands; as for the kuffār they shall be given them in their left hands and behind their backs. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“Then he who is given his Record in his right hand, soon will he be reckoned with an by an easy reckoning; and he will turn to his people, rejoicing. But he who is given his Record behind his back, soon will he cry for perdition: he will enter a Blazing Fire” [TMQ Inshiqāq: 7-12]
And
“And he who is given his Record in his left hand, will say: ‘Ah! Would that my record have not been given to me! Had I never realised how my account (stood)! Ah! Would that (Death) have made an end of me! Of no profit to me has been my wealth! My power has perished from me!’ (The stern command will say): ‘Seize you him, and bind and burn him in the Blazing Fire. Make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!’” [TMQ Hāāqah: 25-32].
Also part of imān in the Day of Resurrection is imān that al-Jannah [Paradise, lit. the Garden] is true and that an-Nar [Hell, lit. The Fire] is true. Al-Jannah is the abode created for the Believers, in which no kāfir can ever enter. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“…a Garden whose width is that of the Heavens and the Earth, prepared for the righteous” [TMQ Imrān: 133]
And
“The Companions of the Fire will call to the Companions of the Garden: ‘Pour down to us (some) of the water or that which Allah provides for you of sustenance.’ They will say: ‘Allah has forbidden both for those who rejected Him.’” [TMQ A'rāf: 50]
And
“Such is the Garden which those of Our servants who guard (against evil) shall inherit” [TMQ Maryam: 63]
As for al-Nar it is a created abode wherein no believer shall abide eternally. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“None shall reach it but the most unfortunate ones, who belie (the Truth) and turn awat (from it). But those most devoted (to Allah) shall be far removed from it” [TMQ Layl: 15-17
Those who Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ wills of the Muslims whose major sins and misdeeds outweigh their minor sins and good deeds will enter al-Nar, and later will be taken out and and admitted to al-Jannah. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“If you (but) eschew the great things which you are forbidden, We shall do away with your evil deeds, and admit you to a Gate of great honour” [TMQ Nisā’: 31]
And
“But he whose balance (of good deeds) is light, his abode shall be a (bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to you what it is? (It is) a Fire blazing fiercely! [TMQ Qāri'ah: 8-11].
Part of the imān in al-Jannah is the imān in that its delights are sensorially perceivable and that its people eat, drink, copulate, dress, and relish those delights. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“Round them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness), with goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains: no after-ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication. And with fruits, any that they may choose, and the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire. And (there shall be) companions (for them) with beautiful, lustrous eyes, like unto pearls well-guarded. A recompense for what they used to do” [TMQ Wāqi'ah: 17-24],
And
“…and their garments there will be of silk” [TMQ Hajj: 23]
And
“Upon them will be green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine, pure.” [TMQ Insān: 21]
And
“The Righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur; a spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly” [TMQ Insān: 5-6]
And
“And the recompense for their patience and steadfastness is the Garden and (garments of) silk. Reclining in it on raised thrones, they will see there neither the (excessive heat) of the sun nor intense cold. And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them: the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility. And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal, clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes)” [TMQ-Insān: 12-16]
This is in addition to many other delights mentioned explicitly in the Qur’ān.
Part of the imān in an-Nar is imān in that its torment is real and sensorially perceivable and that its people suffer various types of torture in fire, zamhareer (severe frost or glowing fire), boiling puss and other forms of torture which were mentioned explicitly in the Qur’ān, such as torture with chains and handcuffs, liquid pitch, fire pits, the eating of zaqqum, and the drinking of water which is as hot as boiling metal. Allah الله سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ says,
“Their garments of liquid pitch” [TMQ Ibrāhim: 50]
And
“For the Rejecters We have prepared chains, yokes, and a Blazing Fire!” [TMQ Insān: 4]
And
“Verily the tree of Zaqqum will be the food of the Sinners!” [TMQ Dukhān: 43-44]
And
“(They will be) in the midst of a fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water” [TMQ al-Wāqi'ah: 42]
And
“…if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces: how dreadful the drink!” [TMQ Kahf: 29]
And
“Nor has he any food except the discharge from the washing of wounds” [TMQ Hāāqqah: 36
And
“…as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the Penalty!” [TMQ Nisā’: 56]
And
“…no term shall be determined for them, so they should die, nor shall its Penalty be lightened for them.” [TMQ Fatir: 36]
And
“Then will you, O you who go astray, and belie (the Truth)! You shall surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum. Then will you fill your insides therewith, and drink Boiling Water on top of it: indeed you shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!” [TMQ Wāqi'ah: 51-55]
And
“In front of the Fire shall they be brought, morning and evening” [TMQ Ghāfir: 46]
