The Islamic religion is a very interesting religion because it is both similar and different from other religions we know. Islam is similar to Judaism and Christianity in the sense that they have similar stories and beliefs about Jesus. One of the things that distinguishes Islam from other religions is that Muslims believe in only one God, unlike Hinduism which has many. When it comes to death, Islam has similarities with some religions, but it also has many differences. Before conducting any research, I knew nothing about the Islamic religion and their views on death. I just thought it would be the same as Christianity or Judaism, but I later realized I was wrong. Why is the Islamic religion's point of view on death different from that of other religions? Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"? Get Original Essay When a person is born, the day of his death and where he will go in the afterlife have been predetermined by Allah. In the Islamic religion this is referred to as qadar. When a Muslim is born, is he already born with evil or good intentions and is his fate already decided for him? According to what I learned in class, there is a debate about whether Muslims have free will because of Qadar. I don't know what to think because I feel like they have free will but then that's not the case. The question that always comes to mind when I think about this is: “how can anyone have free will if everything is already decided for them?” But then I think about how people have the right to do what they want, in the sense that they can decide for themselves what they want and what they don't want to do. However, no matter what decisions they make, their fate cannot be changed. Therefore, from all this thinking, I believe that Muslims have free will, but an immutable destiny. Ajal is the time between birth and death. Ajal ends on the day of the person's death. In Islam, as in many other religions, how you live your life affects your afterlife. According to Dr. Jameson's lecture in our religion class, if you live a life full of good deeds and submitting to the one and only Allah, then you will have a great life in the afterlife. However, if you did not believe in Allah during your lifetime, you will not have a good life in the afterlife. When you die before the final judgment, you remain in the grave until the day comes. When you first die, you are visited by angels who ask you a series of questions. If you answer the questions correctly, staying in your tomb will be pleasant because it will expand and become spacious. If you answer the questions wrong, your time in the tomb will be horrible. The grave will get smaller and smaller until it squeezes you. It is also said that there is a window that you can look out of and the view from that window is where you are headed, your final destination. Ghayb is the hidden kingdom. It is what we cannot perceive with our eyes. This is not only a place that we humans cannot see, but also includes all the phenomena that we cannot see or explain due to its nature. In other words, Allah, angels, heaven, hell, etc. they are all in Ghayb. The mu'aqqibat are angels. They can be followers or successors. Angels are beings formed from light by Allah. They can change shape and do not need food to survive. Mu'aqqibat do not have free will like we humans. Their sole purpose is to serve Allah and nothing more. There are many angels that it would be impossible to name them all, however there are some that have been identified in the Quran. These include Gabriel, Azrael and Raphael. These angles play a key role in.
