A Simple Introduction to Islam
English book, p. 38
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
It has no importance either in the eyes of people or in the eyes of God. An act is worthy of esteem only when it is pure in intention. Any act done without the right intention is impure in nature. CONCEPT OF HEREAFTER God created man as an eternal creature, dividing his life into two parts. A small part in this world is for action and the eternal life in the Hereafter is to reap its reward. H uman beings have been created as eternal creatures. However, God has divided a person’s lifespan into two parts. A very small 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 a place where the rewards for that action will be reaped. Where the present world is defective, the world Hereafter is perfect in every respect. The Hereafter is a limitless world. There all things have been provided in an ideal state.
