Do You Believe In Life After Death And How Can You confirm The Existence Of Life After Death?


Islam teaches that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of our existence. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and recreated, and the dead will be resurrected to stand in judgment before Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

The day of Resurrection will be the beginning of another life, one that will be eternal. It is then that every person will be fully evil deeds.

The explanation that the Majestic Quran gives about the necessity of life after death is exactly what the moral consciousness of man demands. If there was no life after death, the very belief in Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ would become meaningless, or even if one believed in Him, it would be an unjust and indifferent deity, having once created man and no longer being concerned with his destiny. Surely, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the Most Just. He will punish the tyrants, whose crimes are beyond count – having killed hundreds of innocent people, created great corruption in the society, enslaved numerous people to serve their own whims and fancies, and so on. Because one has a short life span in this world and since numerous individuals are affected by ones actions, adequate punishments and rewards are impracticable in this life. The Majestic Quran categorically states that the Day of Judgment will come and that Allah Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ will decide the fate of each soul.

Each and every human being longs for justice. Even if one does not uphold it for others they want justice for themselves. For example, tyrants and oppressors who are intoxicated by power and influence and inflict pain and suffering on others will object strongly if any injustice is done to them.
Any person who has suffered injustice, irrespective of financial or social status, almost certainly wants its perpetrator to be punished. Though a large number of criminals are punished, many of them get off lightly or are even set free. They may continue to lead pleasant, even luxurious lives and enjoy a peaceful existence. Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ may not punish a criminal in this world but He will certainly hold him accountable on the Day of Judgment and punish him.

It is true that a wrongdoer may receive part of the justice that is due to him in this world, but it will remain incomplete. The same is true of someone who deserves great reward and repayments – who had done much good, helped or thought many people, saved lives, suffered to uphold the truth or patiently endured much hardship or injustice. No earthly compensation is adequate for such relentless courage and effort. These types of deeds can only be repaired in full in an eternal life where every individual affected by ones action will testify for or against that person, and where ones innermost thoughts and intentions, known only to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ the All-Knowing, will be exposed and judged precisely and perfectly.

Belief in the Hereafter is completely logical. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ the Most Exalted has made certain things pleasing and desirable to us in this worldly life, such as justice, although it is usually unattainable. Though a person may obtain a good portion of earthly pleasures and many of his objectives, one remains convinced that the world is unjust. Now, why would the Creator implant in us the love for something we may not experience? The answer is that this life is only one portion of our existence and the hereafter is the necessary conclusion which balances everything out. Whatever is missing here will be found there; and similarly, whatever is gained unlawfully here will result in deprivation there. That is the perfect and absolute justice that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the Most Just, has promised.
