Evidence of God and the Hereafter

can man find the satisfaction of all those fine longings and desires that cannot be fulfilled in this present world, provided he has lived appropriately while in this world. Study reveals that nothing has been made futilely, without a purpose. Be it the sun or the moon, insects, trees, minerals, or various gases, all of these things have been created in line with some purpose, fulfilling it. However, there is only one thing in this world that, on its face, seems to be without meaning—the beautiful desires and longings embedded inside every human being by birth itself. No person is devoid of these desires and longings. Therefore, when everything else has been made with a definite purpose, man’s finer desires and longings must have a real destination. Man’s finer desires and yearnings cannot be purposeless in a universe where everything is purposeful. Indeed, these finer desires and longings are a planned creation. There is a very definite and clear purpose for their existence. However, this purpose cannot be fulfilled in the present world. These desires and longings are limitless and can only be fulfilled in an unlimited world after death—the name for this eternal world is the Hereafter. Proper Framework The concept of the Hereafter provides us with a framework in which life and everything in it can find its satisfactory explanation. Through this concept, the reality of Paradise and Hell becomes clear. Paradise is, as it were, the resting place for virtuous believers, while Hell is the place for punishment for those who revolt against God and ally with evil.
