The World Hereafter
Human beings have been created as eternal creatures. However, God has divided a person’s lifespan into two parts. A tiny part of his lifespan has been destined to be lived out in the present world, while the rest has been destined for the world after death. The present world is a place for action, while the world Hereafter is where the rewards for that action will be reaped.
Where the present world is imperfect, the world Hereafter is perfect. The Hereafter is a limitless world. There all things have been provided in an ideal state.
God has placed Paradise in the world of the Hereafter. Therefore, Paradise is full of all kinds of blessings. Those who prove to be true worshippers of God and who lead virtuous lives will enter this world of Hereafter. When they enter this world of the Hereafter, the door of Paradise will be opened to them for all eternity.
But those who lead a life of unmindfulness of God in the present world or who lead lives marked by arrogance and insolence are sinners in the eyes of God. Therefore, all such people will be denied the blessings of the Hereafter.
Death is not the end of life for a person; instead, it is the beginning of the next stage of life. Death is the middle stage when a person leaves today’s temporary world and reaches tomorrow’s permanent world. He leaves the ephemerality of this world and enters the eternal world. This stage of the Hereafter will be faced inevitably by everyone. No one can save himself from being called to account in the Hereafter.
