In the Holy Qur’an differing names are used to refer to the resurrection with “Resurrection” being the most frequently used one. In dictionaries all these names are usually defined to mean resurrection and this implies their being synonymous. Moreover, sometimes due to people's deeply-seated mental beliefs, the exact meanings of these names are not well understood. The present paper, relying on Arabic language and culture and the style of Quranic verses as well as the subject analysis of these words, enumerates twelve other names for this day and analyzes them content-wise. The researcher found out that each of these names amazingly refers to one of the characteristics of resurrection and each has been used for a particular purpose including warning, preventing the readers from polytheism, disbelief and sin as well as creation of certainty in people who raise doubts about whether resurrection takes place or not.
