of the Day of Judgment "When the water (of Noah's flood) overflowed beyond its limits, We carried you (mankind) in the floating (Ark). That We might make it a message unto you and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance. Then when one blast is sounded on the trumpet. And the earth is moved and its mountains and they are crushed to powder at one stroke, on that day shall the (Great) event come to pass. And the sky will be rent asunder, for that day it will be flimsy. And the angels will be on its sides and that day eight will bear the Throne of thy Lord above them. That day shall ye be brought to judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden. Then He that will be given his record in his right hand will say: 'Ah here! Read ye my Record I did really understand that my account would (one day) reach me!' And he will be in a life of bliss in a high garden The fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near. 'Eat ye and drink ye with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you in the days that are gone!' And he that will be given his record in his left hand will say: 'Ah! that would my record had not been given to me! 'And that I had never realized how my account (stood) 'Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me! 'Of no profit to me has been my wealth! 'My power has perished from me!' (It will be said): 'Take him and fetter him; 'Then throw him in the blazing Fire.' 'Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!' Verily, he used not to believe in Allah, the Most Great, And urged not on the feeding of the poor. So no friend has he here this Day, Nor any food except filth (from the washing of wounds). Which none but sinners eat. (Qur-an, 69:11-37)  |

| Thus,
there are very convincing reasons to believe in life after death. Firstly, all the prophets of God have called their people to believe in it. Secondly, whenever a human society is built on the basis of this belief, it has been the most ideal and peaceful society, free of social and moral evils. Thirdly, history bears witness that whenever this belief is rejected collectively by a group of people in spite of the repeated warnings of the Prophet, the group as a whole has been punished by God even in this world. |

Fourthly, moral, aesthetic and rational
faculties of man endorse the possibility of life after death. Allah is the name of God in the Arabic language. Neither plural nor gender can be formed from it. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universes. He is the God of all people including the prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them All). |
