FIVE PILLARS

The first thing that a Muslim needs to do in order to prepare for the judgment day is to fulfill the obligations that are instructed by Allah Almighty. In this regard, a Muslim must observe five pillars of Islam and believe in them. Firstly, a Muslim must believe in the Oneness of Allah Almighty throughout life and ascribe no partners with Him. Secondly, a Muslim must make sure that the daily Salahs are offered on regular bases. Thirdly, the fasting in the month of Ramadan also needs to be observed and every Muslim must keep fast for the whole month of Ramadan. The fourth thing that needs to be observed, is giving of Zakat. The giving of Zakat ensures that a Muslim helps other Muslims out and make their lives better. Lastly, it is the pilgrimage to the home of Allah Almighty that every able Muslim must do and send good deeds to the world hereafter.

FULFILL SUNNAHS

In addition to the obligations, if a Muslim wishes to have a good day on the Judgment day, then he or she also needs to fulfill the Sunnahs of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The fulfilling of Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) also carries great reward, hence a Muslim must try fulfilling any Sunnah he or she has available to perform.

READ QURAN

There is reward against each and every word of Quran. Therefore, a Muslim must recite Quran for reward. However, one must also opt for understanding of Quran, as the real message of it is in the understanding and once a Muslim develops an understanding of it, he or she can easily apply it to the daily life and ensure staying on the path of righteousness. 

SEEK ALLAH’S FORGIVENESS

Above all, the one thing that every Muslim must do in the worldly life to have a better Day of Judgment is to seek forgiveness of Allah Almighty. If one keeps on asking forgiveness for the sins, then the sins keep on washing away, which ultimately leads to fewer sins on the judgment day, hence a better life hereafter. Moreover, besides forgiveness, a Muslim must also ask of protection of Allah Almighty against the fire of Hell as well.
