Dīn or Deen is an Islamic term of Arabic origin which means "religion" or "way of life." In Islam, it is believed that only one God has ever existed and that God is Allah. It is said that Allah has revealed many religions in the past such as Christianity and Judaism, but the current religion of Islam is the last and final religion to be accepted by Allah on the Day of Judgment.
In Islamic terminology, the word refers to the way of life Muslims must adopt to comply with divine law, encompassing beliefs, character and deeds. The term appears in the Quran 98 times with different connotations, including in the phrase yawm al-din (Arabic: يوم الدين), generally translated to "Day of Judgment" or the famous verse "La ikraha fid din" which translates to "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation).
