Life & Beyond in the Qur’an
What does the Qur’an say about life and the hereafter? Is there a contradiction between both? How important is the belief in the afterlife for Muslims, what does it have to do with belief in God?
Why do we eat? Why do we sleep? Why do we work? The answers we would get to these questions would be similar. I eat to live. I sleep to rest. I work to support myself and my family. But when it comes to what the purpose of life is, people are confused. We see their confusion by the type of answers we receive. Youths may say…
Islamic doctrine holds that human existence continues after the death of the human body in the form of spiritual and physical resurrection. There is a direct relation between conduct on earth and the life beyond. The afterlife will be one of rewards and punishments which is commensurate with earthily conduct.
Have you ever wondered what would happen when the soul departs the body? Will life come to a full stop, and that’s it? Or is it just an initial step leading to another? What does ‘belief in the afterlife’ really mean?
What exactly would happen on that day? Where will I be? Have you ever wondered about it? Have you imagined yourself bare-footed, naked on a day that will be 50,000 years long?
