Day of Judgment  A day will come when the whole universe will be

destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God.

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. All others will go to Hellfire.

Sunni vs. Shiite Sunni Muslims include 84%–90% of all

Muslims. Sunni means “tradition,” and Sunnis regard themselves as those who emphasize following the traditions of Muhammad and of the first two generations of the community of Muslims that followed Muhammad.

Shi`ite Muslims comprise 10%–16% of all Muslims. Shi`ites are the “party of `Ali,” who believe that Muhammad’s son-in-law `Ali was his designated successor (imam) and that the Muslim community should be headed by a designated descendent of Muhammad.
