Diin. - dal, yaw, num

today it struck me..
 and i was captivated with the verse 1:4
maliki yamu diin.
 which i have often accepted as being translated as - master of the day of judgement. as per rK translation

 but  i asked myself diin - does that translate as judgement - because diin - is creed - religion - for want of words.

 dal, yaw, nun

according to this link   - http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=dyn
 by and large diin is translated as religion but there are some pockets when it is translated as judgement..

 which is it - day of judgement or day of religion -
