Let us begin by asking question. Why did Allah make man?
Allah says in Qur'an that He made man so that man would worship Him.
Allah says that He gave men and women life and intelligence to test which of them would obey Him and do good
Allah gave man a soul which does not die. When someone dies his body decays but his soul does not die.
On the day of judgement world will come to end, and human being will then be asked about whether he worshipped Allah and behaved well on earth. He'll also see clearly the things he had done on earth. All his actions, both good and bad, will be weighed.
Those people who tried their best to do good and to know and worship Allah and to behave well, will be rewarded with paradise.
Read this also: who is your lord?
Those people who did wrong, and did not repent, and those who refused to know or worship or obey Allah, will be punished with Hell fire.
It's therefore important to remember the Day of judgement. lt reminds us to behave well. Every day we're reminded of it when we read Surah Al-Fatihah where Allah calls Himself (Maliki yawmid-din) meaning: 'Master of the Day of Judgement'
Allah described the Day of judgement in many surahs of the Qur'an. Here is one of them:
'When the sky is cut apart,
And when the stars are scattered,
And when seas burst beyond their bounds,
And when the graves are overturned Every human being will (at last) understand what he has sent ahead and what he has held back (in this world).
O man what's it that lures you away from your bountiful Sustainer Who has created you, and formed you in accordance with what you're meant to be, and shape you in just proportions, having put you together in whatever form He willed (you to have)? Nay, (O men) but you(are lured away from Allah whenever you're tempted to) give the lie to (Allah's) judgement!
And yet,truly, there're ever watchful forces over you! 'Qur'an (81:1-12)

Therefore, brothers and sisters we suppose to know our religion than any other thing because we are created to worship Allah, and we can't worship him with ignorance
