About this title

Synopsis

Death, which is universal, is a great event in our lives for which we as human beings seek an explanation. ‘The Life In The Hereafter’ is based on the Quranic concept of human life and its purpose in this world which is accountability for our deeds and is called the Law of Requital. The Quran points to the fact that human beings comprise of both a physical body which follows physical laws, and an inner self which develops further through the impact on it of our thoughts and deeds. Essentially there are two concepts of life: according to the first, human life ends with physical death, while according to the second, the human self will move on to the next higher stage of life after death. The impact on the self of our thoughts and deeds during this life will determine if the balance is heavier towards constructive effects i.e. if we have lived according to the Permanent Values given in the Quran, or if the balance is heavier towards destructive effects. This book throws light on this from the viewpoint of the Quran and the Quran invites us to reflect profoundly on this by using our intellect and reasoning as this is the only life we have to ‘send something forward for our tomorrow’.
