Death

Have you ever wondered what life after death really means?

Is there such a thing as ever lasting life?

I believe so.

ISLAM teaches us of two worlds. The present and the afterlife. I am pretty sure most religions in the world practice this as well.

Somebody dear to my family recently had passed on. She was alomost 80 years of age.

It is certainly a privillege to live that long especially if you are healthy and happy.

Most of us start thinking about the afterlife when we attend funerals. I think of the afterlife more often that one normally does. Living in this world has many benefits. What if there is already a living link between our world and the next? ( The afterlife ? )

Certainly human beings would benefit from added knowledge of this. Some people speak of Astro travel. I do not want to make inexplicit statements of such technology and comments not based on fact.

However, as we venture into the topic of the above, many ideas come to mind. Coupled with experience on a day to day basis, we learn a lot.

If human beings know where they end up after death and are provided 'guarantees' within the next parallel world, what is the point of being good?

Why do we foster ties with others to closen the gap between ethnic groups and the world at large?

Imagine the power this 'small privilleged community' has over the rest of us whom do not know the added advantage of being able in this world and the next.

Of course, one will ask..

But whom will answer? Moroever, whom will provide the facts ?

ZARIQUE.
