Resurrection, judgment, and return to God

What it is: Shi'ism affirms bodily resurrection, divine judgment, and final accountability.

How the religion understands it: The life to come involves reward and punishment, but also the full manifestation of God's justice. Eschatological hope nourishes perseverance, ethics, and the memory of the suffering of the righteous.

Textual basis and context: The Qur'an broadly describes resurrection, the weighing of deeds, paradise, and hell. In Shi'i contexts, eschatology is sometimes more intensely interwoven with expectation of the Mahdi and the vindication of historical truth.

Debates and variations: The belief is common in Islam, but its devotional, narrative, and eschatological emphases vary among schools and branches.
