In 1935 Alexis Carrel wrote a book Man, The Unknown. From another perspective the theme of this book was: Destination, The Unknown. Till today this destination has remained unknown and undiscovered. Man’s life is like an iceberg. Only a small tip of his life lies in the present world; the rest of it lies in the world Hereafter. Having spent my entire life in trying to find an answer to this question led me to the discovery that the only rational answer has been given in the Quran. According to the Quranic explanation, man was born as an eternal creature. But, his life was divided into two parts: the pre-death period and the post-death period. Man’s life is like an iceberg. Only a small tip of his life lies in the present world; the rest of it lies in the world Hereafter. Man should strive to his utmost to prepare himself for the next world, so that in the Hereafter he can achieve that which he could not in the present world. o Find a detailed explanation of this discovery in ‘Islam Rediscovered’, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, published 2001.
