Muslims,serious question,what is the belief in ur religion regarding afterlife,where do v go & for how long?

Answer 1

They go to paradise for all eternity when they die. (As they believe)

Answer 2

Jannah جنّة is the Islamic name for paradise. It is derived from the Hebrew term Gan Eden or Garden of Eden. The Arabic form Jannah, is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yaum al-Qiyamah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven.

The Qur'an contains many references to an afterlife in Eden for those who do good deeds. Heaven itself is commonly described in the Qur'an in verse 35 of Surah Al-Ra’d: "The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! Beneath it flow rivers. Perpetual is the fruits thereof and the shade therein. Such is the End of the Righteous; and the end of the unbelievers is the Fire, wherein a person dwells forever." Since Islam rejects the concept of original sin, Muslims believe that all human beings are born pure and will naturally turn to God, but it is their environment which influences them to choose ungodly ways of life. In Islam, therefore, a child who dies automatically goes to heaven, regardless of the religion of his or her parents. The highest level of heaven is Firdaws (فردوس), which is where the prophets, the martyrs and the most truthful and pious people will dwell.

Muslims believe that it is only God's will that determines who may enter Jannah and who may not.

In contrast to Jannah, the words Jahannam and Nar are used to refer to the concept of hell.

Answer 3

Nobody ever cameback to tell their experience after death. So creator GOD should himself reveal what happens after death.

I will explain below my logic in belief.

GOD who have created universe is also responsible for guiding Mankind. So he appoints Prophets from themselves to reveal information about life after death, what should be our belief and deeds in order we get salvation in hereafter etc. So how will man know a prophet is an acutal prophet from God and not a lier. In previous times God used to give some Miraculous acts to demostrate that he is indeed the prophet of God. For example Moses was given a Wand, which when droped down would become a snake and for Jesus, power to give eyesight to blind etc. So people get convinced that he is the prophet and believes in the divine books revealed through him. But God decided to combine the miracle and the divine book into one, so that not only those actually present in prophet's time can witness the miracle but also the generations coming after that. Muslims beleive that Holy Quran is that miraculous book. Its structure is unparalleled in Arabic liturature. A fact that is admitted by muslims and non-muslims scholors. Any person can learn arabic and witness the miracle and be convinced that it is the truth.

I explained all this just to explain the source of my belief.

To your question what happpens after death, according to Quran there will be a barzakhi life(a form of life) till the whole world comes to an end. After that all the human beings ever lived will be resurrected and each person will be judged according to his belief and deeds and will be assigned to everlasting life. One of the important thing Quran says is that there will be no injustice whatsoever there because judgement is given by GOD who knows your innermost thoughts.

Answer 4

Dear Seeker I will reply you with the very correct answer according to Qur'an which will be difficult for you to understand and as well for the Sunnis and Shias.

Death is just like sleep. When we die time stop. Soul is taken to unknown place where it will reside till the day of judgement. God has created a barier between dead and living and the dead can't cross that barrier.

We will face the God on the judgement day and will go to heaven or hell based on our deeds.

There is no grave punishments and it is again not true that the dead will face the torment as soon as they die.

Answer 5

Umm, I'm not a muslim, but İ can answer your question since İ'm living in a muslim country:

Muslims believe in ahiret. That means you do rewake after dying, but u first wait at someplace before the world ends. After the world ends, ppl are sent to either heaven or hell. İt's really complicated lol

Answer 6

after life 3 stages :

1. Grave torment/punishment (in case you are a sinner, or non-believer)

2. Day of Judgment

3. Heaven and Hell.

Heaven and Hell are for eternity.

Answer 7

we will be judged and according to what we did we will have to get rewarded or punished.

but even those who sinned after paying their dues in hell will get to go to heaven.
Allah is the most Merciful.
a good Muslim is the righteous Muslim, who does good deeds and avoids/stops bad deeds.
must pray, give charity and fast and remember Allah all the time and fear Allah and believe in Angels, ALL prophets and the divine revelations.

Answer 8

good muslims will go to heaven,bad muslims may go to hell for a while,and also there is wrong muslims who will go to hell,but u have to know that the people who will go to heaven they will go there becuz of god's merciness not becuz of their good work or morals
