still confused and need help
-
Hi guys, I need your help desperately, please you don't have to answer all of these questions, it would be enough for me to know that if we are just going to be told where we are going to go after we die (3626-27, 1632) if yes then what about judgement day? ? cry Thanks already to those who answers my question (if theres going to be any )
"The fate of all genuine believers who die in tragic circumstances (e.g. fire, drowning, air disasters, etc) is not any different from the manner in which the life of Jesus was ended on earth.
God takes their souls just before the actual accident happens so that they do not suffer the pains of death. There are a number of Quranic verses which confirm this truth."
It claims that Allah takes souls of believers before they burn, drown or death strikes them. This doesn't make any sense. How can someone die before burning?
After the initial death, the righteous do not die. Instead, they go straight to heaven after their life on earth comes to an end.
"Do not think that those who are killed in the cause of God are dead; they are alive at their Lord, being provided for." 3169
"Do not say about those who are killed in the cause of God, "They are dead." For they are alive, but you do not perceive." 2154
"They (the believers) do not taste death, beyond the first death, and God spares them the retribution of Hell." 4456
"(At the time of his death) he was told, "Enter Paradise." He said, "Oh, I wish my people knew. That my Lord has forgiven me, and made me honorable." 3626-27
"The angels terminate their lives in a state of righteousness, saying, "Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise (now) as a reward for your works." 1632
Then what about judgement day? are we just going to be told where we are going to or go straight to it?
"On the other hand, the disbelievers know at the moment of death that they are destined for Hell. The angels beat them on the faces and rear ends (850 & 4727), order them to evict their souls (693), then "snatch their souls"791"
What about this ayat
036.052 They will say "Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?"... (A voice will say "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the messengers!"
This ayat proves that disbelievers won't believe anything until they are raised up for judgement day.
And my last question are you afraid to die, how do you think it feels like to die?

Salaam,
And my last question are you afraid to die, how do you think it feels like to die?
Some people die painfully and some in peace. What is death like, perhaps not so much a monumental event as thought and is rather like cake. I'm not sure if people really worry more about dying or death.

I dont know where that quote is from but it sounds like wishful thinking to me, everyone has to experience death and submit to God's laws of physics among other things. What can be debated is what it feels like upon death, when the soul is met by angels or put into some kind of storage area, a good way to picture it is like in the film The Matrix, the white construct, a place nowhere. Believers might have a better time than disblievers for sure, but I'm pretty sure everyone feels pain depending on what kind of experience they're subjected to.
Then what about judgement day? are we just going to be told where we are going to or go straight to it?
Depending on how you lived, I'm sure the period between death and judgement day is either pleasurable or not, in some storage area or construct outside of space and time as we know it. Those verses might be alluding to the fact that believers will feel God's light, etc, we cant take some of these verses literally otherwise you might come to the conclusion God is tangible like a human being or something, we have to always remember we cannot perceive God but God perceives all.
As for judgement day, everyone will be lined up, in three sections. One section will have the best believers, the other will have the not-so-amazing believers, and the last will have the ones who will go to hell. I cant remember where the verses explaining this is, but its written somewhere.
This ayat proves that disbelievers won't believe anything until they are raised up for judgement day.
I've seen a few verses that say they'll still be disbelievers after they die too. Maybe the most cynical among them will think they're a victim of a sadistic reality TV show or something, so dumb that they dont comprehend they're actually in hell. Though maybe my imagination is running too wild...
