The phrase yaum-id-din is repeated more than
ten times in the Qur'an, exclusively with the
meaning of 'the Hereafter'. It is used in the sense of
'the Day of Judgment'.
The word din in Arabic philology means an
account, reckoning or obeying and even tradition,
which the former refers to the procedure of paying
rewards or inflicting punishments in Hereafter. But
on the other hand, we have this expression yawm-al
hisâb in Qur'an which exactly means 'the Day of
counting or reckoning'. Consequently, 'The Day of
Judgment' could be preferred to 'the Day of
Reckoning', as well as, other choices are much
farther than meaning of the expression yawmi-d
din. Finally the combination of yawm and din is a
genitive construction, not an adjective
construction; therefore, 'the Day of Judgment'
could be considered as a much better equivalent in
comparison with 'the Judgment Day.'

5. Thee [only] we Worship and Thee [only]
we Ask for Help
The verse consist of four basic parts:
Iyyāka (Objective pronoun, means 'you/thee'),
Na’budu (Verb + pronoun, means 'we worship,
serve'), Wa iyyāka (Conjunction + Objective
pronoun; Wa– meaning and; Iyyāka means 'you,
thee') and Nasta’een (Verb + pronoun, means 'we
seek help').
