MATERIALISTIC POINT OF VIEW ABOUT QIAMAH

According to the views of a group, life is limited to this human world, that there
Is no life beyond death, intelligence and the senses all expire with the body.
The Quran has described their views in the following verse.

Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying:
"There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be
resurrected.

Jan-15

SURAH AL-JATHIA:24
"
"

And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die
and we live, and naught destroyeth us save time; when
they have no knowledge whatsoever of (all) that; they do but
guess.

PHILOSOPHY OF RESTORATION
(TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS)
Some people believe that death does not mean complete destruction, but a
Change of bodies. a soul keeps traveling from one body to another. each
Succeeding body is allotted on the basis of the souls behavior in the previous Body.

Good deeds-------------------------------will be given to a more beautiful body

Bad deeds--------------------------------will be gave to the body of a lowly creature

Jan-15

CRITICISM ON THIS PHILOSOPHY

First of all in the theory of transmigration of souls, a beginning and

an end cannot be
separated .to be born a man it is necessary to be born an animal in a
previous existence
and for animals or plants to exist it is necessary for them to be first
created as human
Beings.

Jan-15

 Evil and Virtue are the characteristics of those deeds

that are passed intentionally. a human being may have

powers of decision and can be rewarded accordingly,
but the acts of plants and animals cannot be described
as either good or bad in committed, how then does it
follow that they are being rewarded or punished for
following the commands of the nature filled in them.

Jan-15

ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF AAKHIRAH

One day Almighty Allah will destroy the whole world along with
its inhabitants.
He will grant another life to mankind who will then be
presented to Allah.
Almighty Allah will weigh the good & evil deeds of every man. if
a persons good deeds outweigh his evil deeds he will be rewarded
and where evil deeds outweigh the good
he will face punishment.

38. And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all
that is between them, for simple play,

(i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are
disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the
disobedient ones), but most of them know not.

creatures) is the time appointed for all of them,

Or shall We treat the Muttaqn (pious - see V.2:2), as the Fujjr (criminals,

THE QURANIC ARGUMENT

Do they not look in the dominion of the

heavens and the earth and all things that
Allh has created,

Jan-15

16

Are you more difficult to create, or is the

heaven that He constructed?

Jan-15

17

And among His signs is that you see the land inactive; then, once We send
down water thereto, it gets excited and waves. Surely, the One who has
given life to it is the One who gives life to the dead. No doubt, He is powerful
to do everything.
Jan-15

O mankind!
If you are in doubt about the Resurrection,
then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust,

Jan-15

And He it is Who originates the creation, then will

repeat it (after it has been perished),
and this is easier for Him.

This faith enables us to bear trials and troubles with patience & tolerance so that
Man appears from such trials polished like gold emerging from the boiler.

and it is they who are the guided-ones.

Belief in the hereafter inculcates courage and fearlessness in men, so that they
Fear none but Allah.

But those who knew with certainty that they were to meet their Lord, said:
"How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allh's Leave?"

Jan-15

This faith has been a comfort in the painful depressions suffered by men, has taught
them to
Be upright and thus opened the paths of human progress .

Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind the
messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with
their wealth and their lives in Allah's way. And they said: Go
not forth in the heat! Say: The heat of hell is more intense
of heat, if they but understood.

Belief in the hereafter has saved people from being careless of chastisement

The strutting of the disbelievers about the land should not deceive you.
It is just a little enjoyment. After that, their resort is Hell; and it is an evil abode.
But those who fear their Lord, for them there are Gardens under which rivers flow,
where they will live forever as welcome from Allah. What is with Allah is best for the
righteous.
