The Beginning and the End is from God and unto God. This is one of the most important teachings of Islam. Believing in Qiyamah (Resurrection) is the logical and rational implication of believing in God. The Holy Qur’an and the Ma`sûmîn (a) have repeatedly taught about the significance of life after death. Therefore it is imperative that we familiarize ourselves with the concept of Resurrection in Islam. To introduce some of the basic aspects of Afterlife, the course is designed to cover the following questions and problems:
- What constitute a human being identity according to the Holy Qur’an?
- What is soul and does it come to existence?
- Does human soul change and if so, how is human identity preserved?
- Is resurrection physical or spiritual?
- What are the conditions and signs of the Resurrection Day?
- What kind are the pleasure and pains in heaven and hell?
- Are the pleasures and pains after death eternal?
- What are the stages through which one passes after death?
- Can one’s spiritual status change after death?
Insha Allah, these and many other questions will be explored in the course of our class depending on how much time we will have. These will be done in light of verses from the Holy Qur’an and Hadiths from the Holy Prophet (s) and his Household (a).
