What will happen to the human soul after death?

Question

In general i wanna know something about the life after death

Answer 1

When God created the man, God blessed him spirit and made his well-designed body with clay and water. Even today every one possesses three different things, body, spirit and self.

1. Body:-

God made the body a performing machine to act according to the demands of self. It eats, wears, drinks, smells, tastes, sees, hears, touches and uses the universe. This thing works as a base of needs and demands. Though it seems different from other animals but it is not different at all. Its design is different but its nature is actually the same.

2. Spirit:-

God created it as an acting power. It is a Commandment and Will of our Lord and we use it for a little time (the life span) in space. Since it totally belongs to God, so we are answerable of its use. It is a guiding-light and our conscious-energy. All the things around us including angels and demons may effect it through suggestions and as a result we may move in right or wrong direction. It is not God because nothing can effect God and determine God’s mood. God is Holy and the Creator of all the things, which we can name. Spirits are sometimes, God guided and sometimes, demon guided and only God guided spirits are pious-ones and demon guided spirits are all-in-all evil.

3. Self:-

Self is the real being, fully equipped with the power of decisions. Self is the real man or woman, a sort of guest in the house of spirit and body. Self is a third dimension of our existence. Spirit makes the body move and all acts happen according to the decisions made by the self.

Our life is a gesture of these three things in our existence and we are passing through time.

Our universe/cosmos is a living story book and our’s selves are it’s characters. Particles of the body of universe, are alphabets and things in it are words, in physical and metaphysical form the words of God. Cosmos is a spirit of the body of universe, which runs it and makes it meaningful.

The universe/cosmos is a book of God for our reading.

Above that Moral State is a law of God (Not God) over universe/cosmos___ to award the right and wrong___ done by the creatures.

Our’s selves are free beings to act freely. We may act according to the Commandments of God or we may follow our own way. Results of the both are predominantly different. Servants of God are blessed but followers of Demon are cursed. And both of the type of acts are being precisely recorded, on the most sensitive tape of cosmos and in the book of universe, for the ultimate judgement.

We own nothing but our free Selves, which are conscious-beings, belonging to the moral state. Spirits are immaterial things, belonging to the cosmos. And, Bodies are material things, belonging to the universe.

All attentions appear in our Selves and our acts are the expressions of our Selves. And our Selves are answerable to God for each and every act. If the acts are done according to the God’s Commandments, they are known as right and good deeds. And, if the acts are done according to the suggestions of Satan, then, they are known as wrong and evil deeds or sins. Good deeds lead us to prosperity and Heaven and evil deeds lead us to the doom and Hell.

Such a situation is under operation in the moral state.

Spirit and Body, the both are great gifts of our Lord blessed to our Self.

Now think yourself!

If I ask you, “From where have you got this body? Does it belong to you?

What will be your answer? If you say, “It belongs to me and I got it from this world”___ Then I shall ask you, “To whom you paid its price and for how much you purchased it?

You will start thinking and will positively understand what I wanted to let you know. You will realize that it is a gifted thing and your Creator has blessed it to you. It is nothing but a great, beautiful and precious gift of your Almighty Lord.

NOW

Ponder over this assumption. Suppose; you like someone and want to show your love to him or her. In such a situation, you will buy a thing and will give it to him or her as a gift as you know that through this way you can express your love. If he or she accepts it and gives honour to your gift and pays thanks; what will be your feelings? You will definitely feel a great joy and will become his or her friend. And, if he or she not only rejects your gift but also throws it down in the dust and smashes it or kicks it with his or her foot; what will be your feelings?

Now I hope, you can understand in a better way that when someone commits or attempts suicide, he or she smashes and ruins the gifts of his or her loving Lord, Therefore, the Lord does not like such an act and curses the suiciders. Anger of the Lord is expressed in the Law of banning suicide in all of the religions.

In fact, killing of one’s ownself is equal to the killing of someone else while every soul is a precious creation of the Lord. Such people, who commit suicide or kill others, are evildoers. Both are criminals, in the sight of our Lord and deserve punishment.

Purpose of life is the worship of the Lord alone. This life is nothing but a test of obedience to the Alone Lord.

Each and every thing is perishable of our present life. As compared to the eternal life, this life is a dream like reality and life in Heaven is not perishable but that is the real life.

In this worldly life, our death is with us on each and every step while the eternal life is without an end. Everyone will either rejoice due to good deeds or will face torture due to evil deeds forever.

Ram Chander Jee said, “Whosoever has taken birth, will face death”. He was right to say so because each and every Book of our Lord tells this truth in open words. It is repeatedly announced in all the Books that each and everyone will taste death and this universe will come to an end for another beginning.

Only the Creator of life and death, is forever.

Life with death, can never be considered as a real life. It is, of course, similar to real life. People of wisdom do understand its temporal nature. It looks like a child’s play but its not a child’s play. It is a mean of test, so one should remain sincere to the Lord and live and fight with patience for the eternal life constantly. One should serve his or her Lord whole-heartedly and establish his or her love for the Lord alone.

Death can come at anytime in this temporal life and when the moment of death reaches it, makes it finished. We leave each and everything and move to the destined destination, empty-handed and empty-minded. Nothing remains important and the death itself reveals the answers of all the questions, which we can not, perhaps, understand during the lifetime. It opens up the eyes of each and everyone. It is the moment of death, alone which lets us know the importance of belief. Death releases our self and takes away the spirit and body in the same way as it normally happens in our dreams.

In a dream, Spirit and Body remain apart and only our Self sees and feels everything. We hear without ears and see without eyes and when we die in a dream, our eyes open here, in this world.

The same thing happens when someone dies here; in this world, his or her eyes open in the eternal life and one can not come back to this life to let the others know about the process of death as a dream-awaken can not go back to the dream.

After death or suicide body becomes like a closed door which spiritless-self can not open to feel and see this world and self becomes world-less or body-less to be called dead.

Suicide is not an end of everything. It is simply the beginning of next life without a further chance to do a good or a bad deed. Death, in fact, is an end of this life and beginning of the next life, which will be the result of the deeds, done here. One must know this very fact comprehensively.

Nothing will go along, with the dead but his good or bad deeds for Judgement. This life is a way to the next life. It is not our destination. Since, the believers know this thing through faith, so they are not scared of death. Instead they are scared of the anger of their Lord and do good deeds. The believers are brave due to their belief and the non-believers are coward due to the lack of knowledge and belief.

Only such people, who do not know the reality of this life, try to commit suicide and think that this will be an end of their sickness. Whereas, suicide is not an end of any sickness but it is the beginning of doom. Whosoever kills himself, he walks out of the test and such a person is declared failed and doomed to Hell.

Reality of the law, on which nature survives, is revealed in our nature. Even the most beautiful thing which we achieve, start boring us by the passage of time and what is to say about the boring things. Our life is not meant to waste in the pursuits of worldly things but it is an open test and is a preparation plan of the eternal life. One will sow here and will cut there in the next life.

At last, God shows mercy to mankind and says in revelation that if someone will not believe in the gods, besides the Alone Lord, the Lord will show mercy to such one and will forgive his or her sins.

“Lo! Allah (The Alone Lord) forgives not that a partner should be ascribed unto Allah. Allah forgives (all) save that to whom Allah will. Whose ascribes partners to Allah (The Alone Lord), has wandered far astray”.
(Quran 4:116)

This promise takes our attention to these words of Torah.
“I ___and I alone___ am God
No other god is real”.
(Bible, Duet 32:39)

Therefore, one should not believe in three or many gods, instead, one should believe in only One and Alone Unseen God. One should not consider this world or universe as a god as pantheists consider “Everything is god and god is every thing”.
Whereas, God has already clearly mentioned in Torah that nothing resembles to God. Please read this text carefully:

“Worship no god but Me. Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol (image) or worship it, because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation”.
(Bible, Exodus 20:3, 4, 5)

Therefore, one should simply believe in One Alone Lord and understand that nothing resembles to the Lord and Lord is the UNSEEN.

This faith will serve as a key to the heaven.

Our world of dreams is hundred percent (100%) corresponding to the next world or the Hereafter. We enter into a dream through sleep and into the next life or beyond through death.

In the state of dreams, we take a new birth ___ after dying in our real world. Our worldly eyes are not with us in the state of dreams. We see the state of dreams with some other eyes as our worldly eyes remain closed on the bed. Likewise our worldly bodies do remain in this world and we enter into the state of dreams with new bodies___ which seem just like that of the worldly bodies.

The completely sleeping-ones or the dead-ones of this world___ are the awakening-ones or the alive-ones of the state of dreams. Who act and react, exactly, in terms of this very world.

The dreams do occupy ourselves in the state of dreams and we do not realize our dreams as dreams___ during the dreams. In stead we fear and tremble during the dreams, just like this very world.

Then___ during the dreams___ all of a sudden, a particular death occupies us and we return from the state of dreams to this very world. And__ thereafter we begin to realize and reckon the dreams as dreams.

If the dreams are full of luxury and pleasure then we become sorrowful on awakening. And___ if they are full of agony and torture then we become happy and cheerful on awakening.

Of course, the realization takes place after the awakening alone, that the dreams were simply dreams. So___ that is the state of DREAMS & REALITIES which is observed by everyone in this very world. What an unusual state is this usual state of DREAMS & REALITIES.

Through numerous Words of Wisdom or the Scriptures, all of the nations have been warned that they should not consider this world as the real world. And___ they have also been told that worldly life is no more than a dream. And___ they have also been positively informed about the big-news that real and the lasting state is the next world or the Hereafter.

It is an extra ordinarily serious matter for the mortals that in what terms, the reckoning or consequences of their worldly life___ will occupy them after their death___ in the next world or the Hereafter.

The Wise-ones of this world or the Prophets have already warned us again and again through their teachings and the Revealed Books. So by virtue of paying proper heed to their teachings and the Revealed Books, we may know and realize the matter in question, quiet conveniently.

This temporary worldly life___ which is continuously becoming stale from the fresh and dead from the alive___ is virtually bespeaking and calling for a permanent system of life. Which should be totally free from all sorts of stale-ness and death. And___ that is the life of the next state or the Hereafter.

To apprehend the available limited life, we can apply our limited intellect. But it can not be applied to apprehend the next state or the Hereafter. Because its approach is limited to this very world alone or at the most, to the state of dreams alone.

Dreams and this world___ the both are realized by our SELF and___ the next state or the Hereafter___ has also to be realized by our SELF.

SELF is a thing quiet different from that of the intellect. The SELF uses intellect and intellect makes us realize this universe within the body. So intellect is a thing connected to the body and it is corresponding to this world.

Presently, the intellect is limited to this very world and it can not travel to the next state or the Hereafter. After death, of course, it will become by the grace of God, corresponding to the next state or the Hereafter.

In this world, the intellect believes in the future whereas it does not know the future. It simply guesses about the future as the famous scholar J.Bronowski has said that:

“Every step of intellect which is placed in future is, placed in uncertainty and every next step of the knowledge is ignorance”.
(Ascent of Man by J.Bronowski)

No doubt, it looks like that___ but it is not totally like that. Uncertainty is changed into certainty and ignorance is changed into knowledge___ by every new step.

Next state is parallel to the intellect. So we can not see it unless we die and resort to the next state.

Dreams show us a life___ parallel to our present life. So, dreams have become a part of our present life. If the dreams had been parallel to our intellect, instead of our present life, then___ the dreamers would have never been able to see them and narrate them.

The next life is parallel to our intellect and that is completely hidden from the present life. So the intellect can not touch it at all. However, non-perception of the next life by our intellect does not mean that the next life is not existing at all.

Next life is existing in the same way as our future is existing which is not touched or perceived unless it become our present. Where-after___ it becomes the book of our past.

The next state of existence is parallel to our present limited senses. As soon as the death occupies us and processes us for the ultimate future___ our self begins to apprehend the next state. Body is left behind and the SELF goes on, out of the present time and space. Where-after, either it becomes senseless (dead)___ till the Day of Resurrection or it enters into the next life with processed senses, the senses, which enable us to feel the next life.

In God’s knowledge birth and death, the both are the means of giving life.

In present time, the next life or Hereafter is beyond approach of the intellect just like the future. The process of sleeping and awakening in a day has been surnamed as death and life by the Lord. And___ it is true that an awaking person is an alive person while a sleeping person is a dead person.

Usually everyone is travelling towards his future. Faith and hope are the positive provisions of this life while dejection and faithlessness are the negative provisions of this life. Hopeful and faithful people remain enduring and polite. But hopeless and faithless people become impolite and dangerous for others. They indulge in destructive exercises on account of their negative approach.

Education is given in religion to lead a positive and patient life. Everyone is advised to fear from God and to do every work according to the God’s Commandments. Religion also ensures the better and secured end of this life and an extremely good beginning of the next life.

Inspite of all that, people do not understand to believe in God and the next life and do good deeds. Such a non-understanding on the part of people, is perhaps, on account of their one-sided and insane approach towards life and its phenomena.

As we do not know, by ourselves, anything about the next life. So, in such a state, we shall be naturally in need of a wise teacher and guide. Who, him-self, should be well verses with the religion and the knowledge of next life or Hereafter. But alas! Whenever such a teacher & guide came to the people. They did not pay heed to his teachings and only a few stepped forward, to walk apace him.

The non-believing majority always demonstrated their narrow and shallow-minded-ness. They considered such a person as a liar____ Who was linked to God on the one side and linked to mankind on the other side. And____ he himself was in between the both__ to hear the converse of multi-dimensional creature___ the angels.

Majority of the masses, also, could not understand that the path leading to the next life or Hereafter is passing through this very life. The worldly life is therefore simply a path___ not a destination. But the majority mistook it for a destination and put their lives into a devastating loss.

Jesus says in Gospel that:

“Whosoever will believe in my teachings and act upon them. He, himself, will come to know that my teachings are not my teachings. Instead, they are the teachings of God, Who has sent me”.

It means that if the divine instructions are positively observed through pure and persistent practice. Then their promising results will make us realize that the divine instructions are really divine and____ they are based on the perfect knowledge and the perfect truth.

To understand the mysteriousness of the universe is a difficult task. And___ after understanding it, to make the others understand it, is even a more difficult task. God says about understanding of God’s Word:

“And__ in truth, God has made the revealed message, easy to understand. But is there anyone who wants to understand!”
(Al-Quran 54:17)

So, to understand every complexed thing we should always resort to the Lord. Who is All Able to make us understand even the most complexed things, in the most easy terms.

Answer 2

Is there a life after Death?

Athiests say NO... We say Yes...

Lets see, if there is...

Justice should prevail in any case in this world. If you see, some are born rich, some poor, some handicapped. Therefore is GOD unjust? Because the guy who was born handicapped, he did not do any wrong.

The Answer is: This life is a test. Check out the class examination. If the Question paper is strict, the correction is leniant. And if the Q Paper was easy, there will be strict evaluation.

Similarly, those born handicapped will have an easy evaluation after death. Whereas the rich, normal guys will have a strict evaluation.

Now coming back. Hitler commited a thousand crimes. Did he get justice? I mean the maximum the jury could do would have been to send him for execution. But that pays for ONLY 1 Life. What about the remaining thousands???

Thats the point, in the life after death he will be in Hell, and burn for the crimes he commited.

The belief in the life after death is necessary for human survival, else the humanity will be reduced to wolves, not respecting any human values.

This is the Islamic teaching regarding the Life after death.

Answer 3

There is no life after death--the soul is the person or the life that the person has (Jesus gave up his soul for us). There IS life after the resurrections--those who are resurrected during the first resurrection will awaken to life in heaven. Those who are resurrected during the second resurrection will awaken on earth, be taught, face the final test and choose either life or the second death by the choices they make. After that, death will be done away with for any who survive.

Answer 4

If you have confessed with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that he was raised from the dead, you will be saved.. meaning your soul goes to heaven , if not you will spend eternity in hell..this is a fact in the bible. How can anyone see a baby being born, or a beautiful sunset truly believe that we evolved from apes?

Answer 5

You and 6 billion other people. Some say your soul gets recycled, and you come back as a person or a bug or a cat. Others say you get 70-some virgins to attend to you. Others say you live in eternal euphoria. Atheists say nothing happens - you don't have a soul. Ultimately, it all comes down to what you decide happens. And even then, you won't know, maybe for a long time. If the atheists are right, you'll never know.

Answer 6

Your body die,but you are still alive in spirit.The spirit is a body different to the human body.Read the Bible,and you will find the answer.If not,you will know anyway when you will pass away.Good question.

Answer 8

There is no separate part of us that survives death . Ecclesiastes 9; 5,6
The word 'soul' is translated from the orignal Hebrew word..NEPHESH. Which means 'that which breathes'.
So our 'soul' is us, living breathing.

Answer 9

You know as much about that as anyone else on the planet. This is not a flip answer. The answer to your question is within you, It may take daily meditation for years, but you will get your answer!! The answer is different and personal for each of us, and definitely worth the journey to finding it. Have a happy journey.

Answer 10

The soul is your intellect. Both your soul and spirit live on after death, where depends on us

Answer 11

All souls sleep untill called up by God to judgment.... either the judgment of the saved(those going to heaven)... or the judgment of the lost

no one knows what Heaven will be like.... hell will be a not good place...there is debate concerning the descriptions of hell... it for sure will not be a good place.

For those who are saved... one day Chrit will call them up. In what is refered to as The Rapture of The Church... the saved who have died will rise first...then those who are still living will be taken up into the air to meet Christ and return for the judgment of the saved and will then enter Heaven... to await the return to earth with Christ when he returns to establish His thousand year reign on earth.

I was asked a similer quistion by a man who's mother was dying. here is a link to the answer I gave Him: http://mikevanauken.pages.web.com/outreach/id12.html
