But as the Qur'an itself has in some verses expressly mentioned these methods and in some other verses hinted at them, we will refer to them in a subsequent section under the heading, the Arguments of the Qur’an in Respect of the Next world. We intend to confine our attention to considering the method of Prophethood and revelation only. Through knowing the spirit and mentality of man.įor the present we do not propose to enter into the discussion of these methods which requires lengthy philosophical and scientific arguments. Man through his intellectual and scientific efforts can get to, at least, some strong indications which support what the Prophets say about the next world. In addition to the Divine revelation conveyed by the Prophets, there are some other methods of acquiring belief in the Hereafter.

This doctrine has been described by the Prophets as the most important doctrine next to Monotheism.Īs such, the degree of the faith a person has in the life of the next world depends, on the one hand, on the degree of his faith in Prophethood and the veracity of the Prophets, and on the other, on the degree of the correctness and rationality of his conception of the Hereafter, and its being free from vulgar and absurd ideas. The chief source of belief in the eternal life of the next world is the Divine revelation conveyed to mankind through the Prophets.įollowing his recognition of Allah, belief in the veracity of the Prophets and knowing for certain that what the Prophets convey as revelation has really come from Allah and is therefore true, man comes to believe in the Day of Resurrection and the eternal life of the next world. Source Of Belief In The Life Of The Next World That is why the Qur'an regards the belief in the next world or the Last Day absolutely necessary for man's prosperity. It is man's conduct in this world that makes his life happy or miserable in the next. Thus we should always step forward on the way of righteousness and good behaviour, for on our faith depends our bliss on that day. Therefore we must do our best to put right ourselves, our actions and our intentions, and abstain from bad thoughts and evil deeds.
They continue to exist and will have to be accounted for on the Day of Judgement. It is not that our words and deeds vanish and are obliterated during the first day. We must understand that like us our thoughts, words, deeds and habits also, from the slightest to the biggest, have the first day and the last day.
That even now when we are passing through the first period and have not reached the second period and the second day, our success during this day as well as that day depends on our faith, which draws our attention to good deeds and their reaction. The Qur'an has called this world life the first and the next world life the last. The First Day (the period of the duration of this world) will come to an end, but the Last Day (the period of the duration of the next world) is endless.
That human life, and for that matter the entire length of time of the existence of the world, is divided into two periods, each of which may be called a day. By using this expression the Holy Qur’an wants to draw our attention to two points:

Each one of these expressions is full of gnostic significance. The Holy Qur'an has used different expressions to denote the Day of Resurrection. In 12 verses a belief in the Last Day has been formally mentioned next to the belief in Allah. In the Holy Qur’an we come across hundreds of verses, which in some way or other deal with the Day of Judgement, the life after death, the resurrection of the dead, the great account, the deed-sheets, the heaven, the hell, the eternality of the next world and other questions relating to the world after death. The scholastic theologians of Islam call it the doctrine of the Resurrection. Next to the confession of monotheism, this is the most important doctrine preached by all the Prophets without any exception. A belief in the next world is an essential condition of being a Muslim and anyone who denies that is not a Muslim.
