THe Bible speaks of different judgments.
It speaks of something called "The Great White Throne Judgment."
"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Revelation 20:11-15
This judgment is reserved for those who have not followed God's plan of salvation.
The Bible speaks of another judgment in which God judged the sins of the world by causing them to be visited upon His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ as He hung upon the cross. This was prophesied 700 years before it occurred in these words:
" We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6
That is why John the Baptist, upon seeing Jesus said this:
"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29
When a person repents, turning away from their sins and calls upon the Lord Jesus for salvation, this is the promise of God to them:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." John 3:16-18
Jesus further said this:
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
John 5:24
That is why the Apostle Paul, writing to believers, was able to say this:
"For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, " Colossians 1:13
This is what happens when a person is born again. They come out from under the authority of Satan and are place under the authority of the Son of God. They are no longer subject to a judgment that will result in damnation, so long as they continue in faith.
There does remain yet a judgment for believers for whatever good or evil they have done in their lives, but this does not lead to damnation:
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."
II Corinthians 5:10
I believe the criterion for judgment will be how closely we obeyed the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles; whether we walked in faith, love and humility and did the will of God.
If you are not yet a believer call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save you today, and He will give you His Holy Spirit, who will bring an assurance into your heart that you are a child of God, forgiven your sins, and destined for heaven.
I know these things to be true - it happened to me.

2 Timothy 4
1 I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: 2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.

There is no preparation. If you live your life in accordance to your faith. Live life and be happy do not waste time worrying about judgment day. Be more concerned about your loved ones.

You don't prepare for it. You go on as if it's an ordinary day and you offer your salaat. Trying to prepare for it will show how desperate and fake you are in order to reach Jannah.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 6:10-18.

" and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." "
Acts 16:30-31
"The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. "
I John 5:10-13
