1. BELIEF IN THE AFTER LIFE MEANING &
CONCEPT
Mundane life is the preface of last life
This life is temporary and last life is eternal
This life is faulty and last life is perfect
All the results of worldly affairs don’t yield result but in the last life.
Man is created with a definite purpose.
His life does not come to an end with his death. It continues after his demise
also. During the course of his life what ever he does is finished so far its material
results are concerned, but its moral results still continue.
Everybody’s record is being maintained during his life period. It is very accurate
record.
The day of judgement is the day of justice. No body will be wronged. His limbs
will be his witness.

8. QURANIC CONCEPT OF AAKIRAT
ُةَع ِارَقْلَا
ُةَع ِارَقْال اَم
ُةَع ِارَقْال اَم َىك ٰرْدَا ٓاَم َو
The Great Calamity; What a Great Calamity!
And what should make thee know what the Great Calamity is?
The day when men will be like scattered moths;
And mountains will be like carded wool;
Then as for him whose scales are heavy,
He will have a pleasant life.
But as for him whose scales are light,
He will have hell as his resort.
