WHAT DO WE NEED ISLAM FOR?

Some people ask: “What do I get from believing in the Prophet, the Afterlife and the Last Testament of God? I enjoy my life without the limitations of a religion, in the end I will die and my body will decompose in the grave.”

 

On the one hand: the true answer about death and the Afterlife could only be given by the Revelation of God. The missing notion of a life after death does not have an influence on the fact that there is an eternal life that begins with death, even though the body decomposes.

 

In this life, man is surrounded by people and things that are bound to his heart through strong love bonds, even though they are not lasting for him, nor is he lasting for them. Man is distressed when he loses one of them, and finally he has to enter his grave alone.

 

A slipping mountain climber who can still hold on for a few moments will accept the rope that his friend throws to save him. Since, otherwise, his fall would be inevitable, he will take the rope even if it is not strong enough to hold his entire body weight. The only rope available to man for his salvation, which guarantees him eternal life, is unfortunately rejected by many. It is the secure rope of God. Our life is, compared to the Afterlife, only a few moments long.

 

“Nor sell the Covenant of Allah for a miserable price: for verily, what is with God is far better for you if you only knew: Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever with God will remain. And we will certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward to the best of what they used to do.”
The Quran, 16: 95-96
