In the article Islamic's Belief in the Afterlife, Muslim's belief of the afterlife have some of the same concepts as Christians.They believe in a day of resurrection or judgement day. On this day the Allah will raise people from the dead to be judged. Before this day occurs, the dead await in their grave. If one person is going to hell, they will feel suffering in their graves. Then those going to heaven will wait peacefully. The ressurection day forMuslims is physical. God is supposed to re-create the dead body. God also judges what one has done in life, as states in the article, "One's eternal destination depends on balance of good to bad deeds in life" (1). After this, they are sentenced to either Paradaise or Hell, somewhat like Heaven and Hell for Christians, depending on their deeds and accomplishments.
I learned alot from this article. I did not know that Muslim's had any of the sam views we did on the afterlife in general. I think its good how they both have an idea of heaven and hell. This is better than athiest who doesn't believe anything will happen when you no longer live on earth. I do not understand that. This article taught me more about Muslim traditions of judgment day that did not know before reading this.
