Friends,
Life is so precious to everyone and we all love with our lives.
Let's read what will be happened after death.
The question of whether there is a life after death does not fall
under the jurisdiction of science, as science is concerned
only with classification and analysis of data. Moreover, man
has been busy with scientific inquiries and research, in the modern
sense of the term, only for the last few centuries, while he has been
familiar with the concept of life after death since times immemorial.
All the prophets of God called their people to worship God and
to believe in life after death. They laid so much emphasis on the
belief in life after death that even a slight doubt in it meant denying
God and made all other beliefs meaningless. The very fact that all
the prophets of God have dealt with this metaphysical question of
life after death so confidently and so uniformly the gap between
their ages being thousands of years goes to prove that the source of
their knowledge of life after death as proclaimed by them all, was
the same, i.e., Divine revelation. We also know that these prophets
of God were greatly opposed by their people, mainly on the issue
of life after death, as their people thought it impossible.
But in spite of opposition, the prophets won many sincere followers.
The question arises: what made those followers forsake the established
beliefs, traditions and customs of their forefathers, notwithstanding
the risk of being totally alienated from their own community?
The simple answer is: they made use of their faculties of mind
and heart and realized the truth. Did they realize the truth
through perceptual consciousness? Not so, as perceptual
experience of life after death is impossible.
Actually, God has given a man, besides perceptual consciousness,
rational, aesthetic and moral consciousness too. It is this
consciousness that guides man regarding realities that cannot
be verified through sensory data. That is why all the prophets
of God while calling people to believe in God and life after death,
appeal to the aesthetic, moral and rational consciousness of man.
For example, when the idolaters of Makkah denied even the
possibility of life after death, the Quran exposed the weakness
of their stand by advancing very logical and rational arguments
in support of it:
