The Immortals

Hi friends,

Today I am going to write about a very sensitive topic "The Immortals". How many of us believe in immortality? I think everyone of us believe in life after death in different believe and concepts. Firstly i am going to share the rigid idea or believes of different religions.

According to Wikipedia Islamic tradition discusses elaborately, almost in graphic detail, as what happens before, during, and after the death, although what exactly happens is not clear and different schools of thought may end up with different conclusions. However, a continuity between all these ideas derived from the basic sources from the Quran and Islamic narratives. One canonical idea is, that the angel of death (Arabic: Malak al-Maut) appears to the dying to take out their souls. The sinners' souls are extracted in the most painful way while the righteous are treated easily

Another common idea, although appearing relatively late in Islamic traditions, adds that, after the burial, two angels – Munkar and Nakir – come to question the dead in order to test their faith. The righteous believers answer correctly and live in peace and comfort while the sinners and disbelievers fail and punishments ensue. The time period or stage between death and the end of the world is called the life of barzakh. Suicide, euthanasia, and unjust murder as means of death are all prohibited in Islam, and are considered major sins. Muslims believe life is God's gift, it is not given by man.

Believing in an afterlife is one of the six articles of faith in Islam.

 

According to Encyclopedia Britannica,The immortality of the soul

Human beings seem always to have had some notion of a shadowy double that survives the death of the body. But the idea of the soul as a mental entity, with intellectual and moral qualities, interacting with a physical organism but capable of continuing after its dissolution, derives in Western thought from Plato and entered into Judaism during approximately the last century before the Common Era and thence into Christianity. In Jewish and Christian thinking it has existed in tension with the idea of the resurrection of the person conceived as an indissoluble psycho physical unity. Christian thought gradually settled into a pattern that required both of these apparently divergent ideas. At death the soul is separated from the body and exists in a conscious or unconscious disembodied state. But on the future Day of Judgment souls will be re-embodied (whether in their former but now transfigured earthly bodies or in new resurrection bodies) and will live eternally in the heavenly kingdom.

According to Wikipedia Hindus philosophy of life after death is as follows:

Hindus accept reincarnation – the belief that, after death, the atman (soul) of a person passes into a new body and life. This new life depends on how the person lived their previous life. Hindus believe in karma, which is the sum of the good and bad actions taken. 

Dear friends Immortality has been one of mankind’s major concerns, and even though it has been traditionally mainly confined to religious traditions, it is also important to philosophy. Although a wide variety of cultures have believed in some sort of immortality, such beliefs may be reduced to basically three non-exclusive models: 

1. The survival of the astral body resembling the physical body; 

2. The immortality of the immaterial soul (that is an incorporeal existence);

3. Resurrection of the body (or re-embodiment, in case the resurrected person does not keep the same body as at the moment of death).

My fellows my purpose to present you these believes is to tell you that somehow the others everyone believe in Immortality or life after death but who no one cares for it. People are not afraid that they will be answerable to someone(Allah) for their deeds. Killings of people is just a minute task and they are doing it, taking the bread out of poors mouth is a common thing, destroying the others rights is normal, torturing the poors or downtrodden is a power simbal, rapping young girls is a not scaring, rapping and killing of small babies (girls or boys) doesn't remind us the fear of God, we dare-fully do the storage of goods, we proudly beat our servants, we happily announce that my child abuse so much, we keep the good things with us and donate the useless, we tell other to donate and do good deeds but we don't

Quote "We could see the twinkle in the eye of others but we do not see the beam of our eyes". We are running after immortality but are our deeds take us to eternal life? This is a question for all of us to rethink and follow the foot steps of Mother Theresa, Abdul Sattar Edhi, Ruth Katherina Martha Pfau............ They did not kept in mind to live an eternal life but they are alive in our hearts. May God help us to work for and live for others.
