Belief in the [[Day of Resurrection]] (''yawm al-qiyāmah'') is also crucial for Muslims. They believe the time of ''Qiyāmah'' is preordained by God but unknown to man. The trials and [[tribulation]]s preceding and during the ''Qiyāmah'' are described in the Quran and the [[hadith]], and also in the commentaries of [[Ulema|scholars]]. The Quran emphasizes [[Resurrection of the Dead|bodily resurrection]], a break from the [[pre-Islamic Arabia]]n understanding of death.<ref>See:

According to [[Nasir Khusraw]] (d. after 1070), an [[Isma'ilism|Ismaili]] thinker of the [[Fatimid Caliphate|Fatimid]] era, the Resurrection (''Qiyāma'') will be ushered by the [[Al-Qa'im Al Muhammad|Lord of the Resurrection]] (''Qāʾim al-Qiyāma''), an individual symbolizing the purpose and pinnacle of creation from among the progeny of Muhammad and his Imams. Through this individual, the world will come out of darkness and ignorance and "into the light of her Lord" (Quran 39:69). His era, unlike that of the enunciators of the divine revelation (''nāṭiqs'') before him, is not one where God prescribes the people to work but instead one where God rewards them. Preceding the Lord of the Resurrection (''Qāʾim'') is his proof (''ḥujjat''). The Qur'anic verse stating that "the night of power (''laylat al-qadr'') is better than a thousand months" (Quran 97:3) is said to refer to this proof, whose knowledge is superior to that of a thousand Imams, though their rank, collectively, is one. Hakim Nasir also recognizes the successors of the Lord of the Resurrection to be his deputies (''khulafāʾ'').<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Virani|first=Shafique|title=The Days of Creation in the Thought of Nasir Khusraw|url=https://www.academia.edu/37219457|journal=Nasir Khusraw: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow|date=January 2005|language=en}}</ref>
