Akhirat

.
And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was
revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].(Al-Quran02:04)
IV. Validity of Akhirat

(a) Hinduism
(b) When a Hindu devotee dies their soul leaves the body and goes to another world and returns again
after spending some time there. Where a person is reborn is determined by their karma, the effects
of a person's actions that determine their destiny in the next incarnation. Hindus try to do virtuous
acts of conduct so that they will increase their good karma and be reborn higher up in the caste
system. This is done in numerous ways. Their initial aim is to worship Brahman (supreme Lord) by
thinking about him and reading his Holy books. The Vedas, Smritis, Ramayan and Bhagavad Gita;
(c) Their life should involve praying and making offerings to the various Gods that take form from
Brahman originally. There is no specific God that you can worship, whichever you choose is
acceptable as it leads to essentially to Brahman.
(d) Hinduism believes in the existence of not one hell and heaven but in the existence of many sun filled
heavens and many demonic worlds. 5
(e) In the ultimate sense the purpose of these worlds is to neither punish nor reward the souls, but to
remind them of the true purpose of their existence to lead an adequate life according to the Hindu
Holy scripture The Vedas.
(f) The process of being born, to grow, die and be reborn again is known as samsara. It is the aim of
every Hindu to be freed from this cycle in order to be in the presence of God, or become one with
God. Karma is in itself a system of reward and punishment.
(g) The idea of reincarnation is not strictly limited to Hinduism. The idea of reincarnation is also
becoming more popular in the West. This concept of reincarnation is summarily described in
following verse of the Bhagavad-Gita.
(h) Christianity
Whilst there are different orthodox Christian beliefs Catholics, Protestants, the Baptists
and other Christians, the core of Christian belief about the afterlife is that there is an
afterlife, that conduct on earth how we behave - will determine where in the afterlife you
will eventually end up. That there is a hell for the wicked ones especially the Catholic
Church still teaches that hellfire is for eternity and there is heaven for those who behaved
well. Also, the Catholic Church claims there is an afterlife state which is between heaven
and hell the Catholic Church calls purgatory. The theological teaching is that after a time
of purgation, the spirit will eventually be progress and will go to heaven. There are other
Christians, the Protestants, who do not accept purgatory. Catholic theology also states that
sinners can confess their sins to Catholic priests and those sins are forgiven for ever it
does not matter how grave the sins might be including genocide if the sinner truly
Judaism
Traditional Judaism firmly believes that death is not the end of human existence. However,
because Judaism is primarily focused on life here and now rather than on the afterlife, Judaism
does not have much dogma about the afterlife, and leaves a great deal of room for personal
opinion. It is possible for an Orthodox Jew to believe that the souls of the righteous dead go to
a place similar to the Christian heaven, or that they are reincarnated through many lifetimes, or
that they simply wait until the coming of the messiah, when they will be resurrected. Likewise,
Orthodox Jews can believe that the souls of the wicked are tormented by demons of their own
creation, or that wicked souls are simply destroyed at death, ceasing to exist.
