Proof of Life after Death

Dawah Training Program

1. The requirement of Allahs Justice.

If there is no Life after Death then there is no justice! Where is the
recompense of the sinners, evil doers, murderers...
For e.g. Even if we were to catch hold of a person who has killed 1,000
people. What punishment can we give him? Hang him to death? But
what about the other 999 people.
No! We cannot even give him the full punishment of killing even 1
person. He may have taken away the husband of someone, the son of
someone... killing the murderer does not bring back the murdered. It is
not a full recompense at all.
What about the recompense for all the other crimes in the world?
So many criminals are never caught.
The crime is not proved against so many criminals.
Those who are caught can never be perfectly recompensed for the evil
they have done.
So many bad deeds are not considered bad by many societies.
So many bad deeds remain hidden from people How can humans
give a full recompense.
So many bad deeds are beyond the scope of human laws, like much
hurt which one person can cause another by his tongue.
We see evildoers and criminals are prospering and increasing in
wealth, children and luxury, until they die in that state. We see
oppressed people dying of grief and distress.
Where is the recompense of evil doers?
What about the recompense of the doers of good? Did they get their full
reward?
So many doers of good are laughed at, troubled by people, tortured.
So many good deeds are not seen by anyone. But they are seen by
Allah.
So many good deeds are considered bad deeds since they go against
the desires of evil doers
So many good deeds can never be recompensed completely by us.
Where is the reward of doing good?

Where is justice?
God is perfect. He is also perfectly just. But, where is justice in this world?
Yes, good and bad will both be recompensed. There has to be a Life after
Death.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Sad 38: 28

Or should I treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters
in the land? Or should I treat those who fear Allah like the wicked?
Allah says in the Quran in Surah an Noor 24:25

That Day (The Day of Judgment), Allah will pay them in full their deserved
recompense, and they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect in justice.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah al Ambiya 21:47

And I1 place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will
be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,
I will bring it forth. And sufficient am I as accountant.

2. The Fear of the Life after Death stops a person from sins.
Why should people stop from doing bad deeds, sins, evil, oppression?
If a person has a chance to do a sin when no one sees it why should
he still not do it?
If he has a chance to do a crime and he knows no one will catch him
why should he still not do it?
If everyone is doing a crime why should a person still not do it?
If famous people and the leaders of a community have done a
1

In the Arabic it is the plural of respect that has been used. It has been converted to I in English for
better understanding. Another possible usage was We, as the plural of honour for Allah.

particular crime why should he still not do it?

If the crime is not considered to be a crime in some land why should
he still not do it?
If his heart desires to do a crime why should he still not do it?
He should still not do it because there is a Life after Death, where he will be
recompensed for every single deeds, in the most perfect retribution by the
the Most Fair Judge- the Creator of Mankind.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah An-Naziaat 79:40-41

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul
from *unlawful+ inclination, Then indeed, Paradise will be *his+ refuge.

3. If there is no Life after Death then what is the Purpose of Life?

Without Life after Death what is the Purpose of Life? Why do we live?
People say..
1. There is no purpose to life.
Is there anything that is done without a reason? If someone knocks at
your door without a reason, what do you call him? Foolish? Do we
assume this whole universe has come into being without a reason?
No! This is far away from the truth.
2. To do good.
But, what is the use of doing good if there is no recompense. What is
the use of avoiding bad if there is no recompense.
3. To enjoy ourselves
By causing hurt to others. When there is no concept of good and bad.
Everybody does not enjoy, some live lives of great hardship. What is
the purpose of their lives? Those who try to enjoy life also end up with
frustration alcohol, drugs, sleeping pills and even suicide. Are they
really enjoying? By not respecting any boundary of good or bad

because none exists.

Allah says in the Quran in Surah Sad 38:27-28

And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them
aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve so woe to those
who disbelieve from the Fire.
Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters
in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked?
This life is a test (Quran 67:2). We have come into this world to worship our
Creator and surrender ourselves to his will. (Quran 51:56). The results of
this test will be declared in the Life after Death. (Quran 3:185).
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Ibrahim 14:42

And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only
delays them for a Day when eyes will stare *in horror+.

4. The consequences of the rejection of the Life after Death.

Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al-Maun 107:1-7

Islamic Information Center

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

For that is the one who drives away the orphan.
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
So woe to those who pray
[But] who are heedless of their prayer Those who make show [of their deeds]
And withhold *simple+ assistance.
The result of the denial of the Life after Death is mischief and evil-doing.
Why should a person stop from evil deeds? History of man bears witness
that the rejection of the belief of Life after Death has been responsible for
worst wrong doings by people.

5. The one who made them from nothing is surely capable to

bring them back to life once more.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Maryam 19:66-67

And the disbeliever says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth
alive?" Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was
nothing?
We ask them, What were you 200 years back?
Nothing?
The One who made you something out of nothing
Then surely He can create you back again from whatever is left of you.
Allah uses the beginning of creation as a proof for its repetition. This means
that He, the Exalted, created the human being while he was nothing. So can
he not repeat this creation after the human had actually become something.

6. The One who Created the gigantic universe is surely capable to

recreate man.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al-Ahqaf 46:33

Do they not see that Allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not
fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over
all things competent.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al As Saffat 37:11

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more

difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created
men from sticky clay.
Are they (human beings) more difficult to create or the complex galaxies and
this universe, the earth, the stars, the animals, microorganisms, the
numerous types of fishes, everything in the universe? A person has to admit
that these things are much harder to create than us. If this is the case, then
why do they deny the resurrection, when they see that Allah has created
things far more difficult that creating man again?

7. But, how can we come back to life when we are bones or

crumbled particles?
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al Isra 17:49-51

And they say, "When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we

[truly] be resurrected as a new creation?"

Say, "Be you stones or iron or [any] creation of that which is great
within your breasts."
And they will say, "Who will restore us?"
Say, "He who brought you forth the first time."
Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?"
Say, "Perhaps it will be soon
Even if we iron, stones or something which we consider very difficult to
recreate, it is in no manner difficult for the one who created us the first time
that is our Lord Allah.

8. The example of land

Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al Fatir 35:9

And it is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive
them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness.
Thus is the resurrection.
How the land comes back to life with full vegetation and greenery after
being lifeless and dead. The one who gives life to land after its death can
surely give life to human beings after death and that is easy for Him.

9. Promise binding upon Allah that He will recreate man

Allah says in the Quran in Surah An Nahl 16:38

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths [that] Allah will not resurrect
one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of
the people do not know.
Allah is Just and will surely recompense injustice. Some people in this world

are stronger than other, some richer, some more clever. There are many
differences. But, this is only as a trial. The Life after Death is the
recompense. It is a promise binding upon the one who Created this world as
an exam to let the results be declared in the Life after Death.

10. The Consequence of those who still deny the truth even though
it is so obvious
Allah says in the Quran in Surah As Saafaat 37:16-20

(They say) When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed
to be resurrected? And our forefathers [as well]?"
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al Waqia 56:47-56

And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we
indeed to be resurrected? And our forefathers [as wel l]?"

Say, "Indeed, the former and the later peoples. Are to be gathered together
for the appointment of a known Day."
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
Will be eating from trees of Zaqqum
And filling with it your bellies
And drinking on top of it from scalding water
And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al Ssaffaat 51:12-14

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire
[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were
impatient."
