Both are grammatical, with slightly different meanings: will is making a prediction: this is what will happen when the day comes. Would is contingent: this is what would happen if the day came.

(I presume the change from God to Allah was not what you were talking about).

    I know that "this is would would happen if they day came" is just a series of typos and you intended to write, "this is what would happen if the day came," but more seriously, what is your opinion of the use of "shall" instead of "will"? I'm curious what you think. Thank you. – Mark Hubbard Dec 19 '15 at 16:16
