RE: Islamic Beliefs About Life After Death

1. Muslim beliefs about Akirah

   • After Death, The angel of Death will take a person's soul to Barzakh (The stage after death and before Judgement)
     • Allah will judge each individual on the way they lived their life
       • On the Day of Judgement the body will be resurrected
         • Two Angels will open the book containing the record of a person's life
           • If the name is recorded on the Right hand side of the book, the person will go to al'Jannah
           • If their name is recorded on the left hand side of the book, the person will go to Jahannam

2. Why Muslims Believe in the Afterlife

   • The Qur'an states that we came from Allah and we must return to Allah
   • Surahs 11 and 56 teach that those leading a good life will go to Heaven and that God is Powerful but also Merciful
   • The teachings and practice of the Prophet

3. Judgement:

   • The Qur'an and Sharia law teach that Muslims will be judged by Allah and their actions will determine their afterlife
   • Islam teaches that good will be rewarded, and evil will be punished
   • The Qur'an teaches that God's judgement is Final
   • Only the judgement of Allah can put the wrongs of life right

4. The effect on the life of a Muslim

   • All Muslims try to follow the Teachings of the Qur'an
   • They will also follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad
   • They will try to act the way Allah wishes and care for others, not cause harm
   • Muslims Believe Allah is Omniscient so they try to please him as he will judge them in the afterlife
