This is how the Qur’an describes the Final Day

The Qur’an describes many names and qualities of the day that all Abrahamic faiths hold to be a reality, the Day of Judgement.
This is the day on which all of humanity will be resurrected, and each person will be taken to
account for their deeds, before ultimately entering their final abode of either heaven or hell.
Here are 7 names of the Day of Judgment mentioned in the Qur’an:
Yawm Al-Qiyaamah (the Day of Rising) – it is given that name because of the rise of great terrors on that day and because the people will rise (from their graves) to Allah The Almighty.
Yawm Al-Hasrah (the Day of Regret) – on which the negligent will regret what they neglected of their religion.
Al-Qaari’ah (the Striking Calamity) – this day will strike the people with its great terrors.
Yawm Al-Fasl (the Day of Judgment) – on it Allah will judge between His servants.
Yawm Ad-Deen (the Day of Recompense) – on it Allah will recompense each one according to his/her deeds.
Al-Haaqqah (The Inevitable Reality) – it will make Paradise inevitable to some and Hellfire inevitable to others, and it will have the reward and requital, and all things will be real.
Yawm At-Talaaqi (the Day of Meeting) – on which the foremost and the last will meet with Allah.
There are also a few other names mentioned such as:
Al-Yawm Al-Aakhir (the Last Day) – there will be no day after it.
As-Saa’ah (the Hour) – named due to its nearness, or because it will come unexpectedly in an hour.
Yawm Al-Ba’th (the Day of Resurrection) – on this day Allah will resurrect the dead from their graves.
Yawm Al-Khurooj (the Day of the Exodus) – the people will come out of their graves on this day.
Yawm Al-Khulood (the Day of Eternity), the meaning of which is clear.
Yawm At-Taghaabun (the Day of Deprivation) – the inhabitants of Paradise will deprive the denizens of Hellfire of what is prepared in it for them by Allah, and they will inherit the share of the disbelievers in Paradise.
