The worldview of Islam encompasses both al-dunia and al-akhirah in which the dunia aspect must be inextricably associate to the akhirah aspect, and in which the akhirah aspect has ultimate and final significance. Hence, Islamic worldviews concern with this universe (world) and the after manners or the Day of Judgment as far as Islamic character of veracity is concerned.
