Muslims believe that this
worldly life is the preparation period of the eternal life of the Hereafter.
When a Muslim dies, he is dressed in white clothes and buried in a proper
process. Muslims think it is an opportunity to remember the last duties towards
the dead and to reconsider the immanence of this worldly life.

Whether it has a new life
after death or not, it does not cover science, because science works with
sensible information. One significant fact is that scientific research and
research have been started in the current institutional form only a few centuries
ago. But with the concept of the post-death life, people are known from the
time of the dead.
All the messengers sent by
the Creator have called upon mankind to serve God and to believe in later life
after death. They emphasized the importance of belief in later life after
death, that the slightest suspicion was considered to be equivalent to denying
the Creator, and this suspicion failed their 'faith' affair. Despite the great
difference between the time and place of the arrival of the Prophets in the world,
their firmness and similarity in their subsequent life after death proves that
they came to know about this from the same source - which is the revelation. We
also know that the prophets of Allah faced the most obstacles and problems from
the people in the matter of the Hereafter, because this thing seemed impossible
to them. But despite many obstacles, the Prophets have followed many sincere
people.
Now the question is: why the
followers of the prophets took the risk of being expelled from society by
opposing the beliefs and practices of their ancestors established and
prevailing in their society?
The answers are simple: they
used to understand their 'mind' and 'true'. Did they know the truth through the
feeling of their senses? No, because the later life of death can not be
realized by senses. In fact, the creator has given more sense to the people as
well as the ability to think logical thinking, beauty and moral awareness. And
this sense of human being makes people aware of such realities, whose knowledge
can not be gained by the senses. For this, all the prophets used to stir up
their rational thinking, beauty and moral awareness while calling upon people
to believe in Allah and the Hereafter. For example, when the idol worshipers of
Makkah deny the possibility of posthumous life after death, by the logical
statement that the absurdity of their position in the Quran is:
Elsewhere in the Qur'an it
has been clearly mentioned that there is no logical basis for denying the
non-believers of the Hereafter. They are only conjecture on assumptions:
"They say," Our
worldly life is only finished; We die and live, we destroy ourselves at the
same time. They have no knowledge about this. They only guess and speak. When
our clear revelations are recited to them, they have no logic except to say
that if you are truthful then bring our forefathers. "(Surah Jassiyah, 45:
24-25).
Surely Allah will resurrect
the dead. But each of his actions has its own plans. A day will come when the
entire universe will be destroyed and then the dead will be resurrected to
stand before their Lord. That day will be the beginning of a life which has no
end, and on that day everyone will be rewarded according to the good and evil
deeds done by him. The Qur'an gives the explanation of the later life of death,
which demands the moral sense of humanity. In reality, if there is no life
after death, there is no relevance to the belief in the Creator, or in that
case the creator will be one who is indifferent about man and who is not a good
judge, who has created man and left him unaware of the creation. But the
Creator, who is the justifier, will punish the tyrants who are wicked, who
killed hundreds of people and created turmoil in society, who forced many
people to follow his wish. But the life of man on earth is temporary, so it is
not possible to reward them for their sins or punishments of virtue. The Qur'an
is very firmly proclaiming that the Day of Judgment will certainly come and the
Creator will determine the destination of each soul according to his actions:
"The unbelievers
say," The Hour will not come upon us. " Say, why not come? By my Lord
- surely it will come. He knows about the invisible. In the heavens and on the
earth, there is no amount of molecules hidden behind him. Nor is there any
lesser or greater than that - all are recorded in a clear book. He will reward
those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them there is forgiveness and
honorable provision. And those who strive against Our revelations to frustrate
them, for them there is a painful punishment. (Surah Saba, 34: 3-5).
The day of judgment is the
day when the integrity and mercy of the Lord will be revealed in full form. The
Lord will show mercy to those who suffer tribulations in His life in the hope
of achieving ultimate marvelous success. But those who are ungrateful to the
blessings of their Lord and ignore the ultimate success, they will be subjected
to extreme untimely plight. According to the differences between them, the
Qur'an says:
"Whom I have promised a
good promise, which he will get, is equal to the one whom I have given the
enjoyment of the life of this world, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be
presented as a criminal." (28:61).
The Qur'an further asserts
that the life of the world is basically the crop of life after death.
Nevertheless, those who deny this unshakable truth become slaves of their own
desires, and become proud of the righteous, the pious. Such people return only
when they face death, but they will not be given any chance even if they expect
to return to the world at the time. The plight of the days of death, the
horrors of the Day of Judgment, and the assurance of the ultimate success of
devoted believers is very well described in the verse:
"When death comes to
one of them, he says:" O my Lord! Send me back (to the world), that I may
do righteousness, which I have not done. 'Nay, this is nothing but a word of
her. There is a curtain in front of them until the Day of Resurrection. Then,
when the trumpet is blown, there will be no ties between them on that day, nor
will they question each other. Those whose scales are heavy, they will be
successful, and those whose scales are light will lose their lives, they will
live forever in Hell. The fire will burn their faces and they will be in it a terrible
shape. "(Surah Al-Mu'minoon, 23: 99-104).
Yakin's conviction on the
post-death life does not guarantee success in the Hereafter only, but it also
makes people dutiful and responsible and contributes to their worldly life in
peace and happiness. Think of the Arabs who were once unaware of the Hereafter.
Then gambling, wine, clan, riot, killing was a routine matter. But they have
only become one of the best organized nations in the world to bring faith to
one voice and the next. They abandoned all forms of crime, helped each other in
need, and addressed all internal disputes with fairness and equality.
Otherwise, the consequences of disbelief in life after death are not only in
the Hereafter but also in the world. When the whole nation is oblivious about this,
then anarchy, chaos, fascism greatly affected the society and finally destroyed
it. The Qur'an highlights the horrific consequences of Aad, Thamud and Pharaoh
in this way:
"Aad and the tribe of
Thamud belied the maelstrom. Then the tribe of Thamud was destroyed by a
dreadful catastrophe, and the tribe of Ad was destroyed by a fierce windstorm
that he had flown on for seven nights and eight days. You used to see them that
they were overwhelmed like the trunk of the unseen date. Do you see any trace
of them? Pharaoh, his predecessors, and the slum dwellers of the slums
committed serious sin. They disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord. So He seized
them with a hard hand. When there was a flood, I carried you in the moving
vessel so that it was a memorial for you, and the ear accepted it as a useful
way to get it. When the trumpet will be blown - a single blast, and the earth
and the mountains will be lifted up and crushed to pieces, and on that day the
hour of resurrection will occur. On the day when the heaven will be split and
scattered, and the angels will be on the edge of the sky, and eight angels will
carry the Throne of your Lord above them. On that day you will be present. None
of your things will be hidden. Then whoever will be given his book in his right
hand, he will say; 'Now you also read my book. I knew that I should face my
account. "Then he will live a happy life, in a high garden. Its fruit will
be lowered. Eat you and drink in satisfaction with what you sent in the past
days. Whose account will be given in his left hand, he will say, 'Oh, if my
book was not given!' I would not have known my account! Oh, if my death was
over. My wealth has not benefited me. My power was wasted. It will be said to
the angels: Take hold of it, embrace it, then throw it into the hell, then
churn it to a chain of seventy yards long. Certainly he did not believe in
Allah Almighty and did not encourage the poor to feed him. Therefore, on this
day, he has no merit and no food, except wounds, he will not eat except sinners.
"(69: 4-39).
