WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER DEATH? Death-Life-Death-Lifecycle?
By Khurshid Imam
A. Introduction
Dear friends.This is the question we hardly ponder over. We are
so much busy in our personal life thatrarely we realize that we
have come to this world for very short period - may be 10
years,
0 years or say !0 years. "fter that### We don$t have any idea.
%ut do we want to &etidea#### "nswer is '( - in
&eneral.)veryday in newspaper we read people dyin&,
leavin& this world - but it is not enou&h toma*e us ponder
over our purpose of creation. (ur body, wealth, family, house,
and
business - nothin& will &o with us when we die.
Thou&h we read about others dyin& yetwe don$t want to
realize that even i can die any day any time.
+n +ndia, &enerally there are two cate&ories of belief
re&ardin& what will happen afterdeath.1 ome people say that
after our death, we will ta*e some other form - dependin&
uponour deeds - and come to this world a&ain. +f a person has
done more &ood thin&s thenhe she will ta*e birth in the
form of human bein&s a&ain into this world. +f someone/s
baddeeds are more then he will ta*e the form of animals and plants
and may be as poor,handicapped, or born with deformities, or
sufferin& from hun&er etc and ta*e birth intothis world.
This concept is called Transmi&ration of soul or
awa&aman.
(ther &roup of people say that actually there is (' 2 one
worldly life. "fter ourdeath we will not ta*e birth in any form.
%ut rather on Day of 3ud&ment all human bein&swill be
raised a&ain. "ll will be held accountable for their each and
every deed. "nddependin& upon the deeds people will be rewarded
paradise and hell. This life will not beli*e our worldly life. "nd
this life hereafter will be eternal life.
Let u thin! and "elie#e 'ow let us analyze lo&ically,
scientifically and from cripture point of view that which ofthe
belief is correct. (bviously both can not be true at the same
time."ccordin& to the concept of awa&aman - people who have
done &ood deeds will ta*e
birth as human bein& while people who have sinned more will
ta*e birth in the form of
animals and plants or will be born into lower caste or will be
borne with disabilities.

time evil is far more than &ood deeds.o it means most of the
people are dyin& by earnin& more sins - hence all these
people
who die should ta*e birth as animal or plants - and thus
eventually population of theworld should##### D)78)" )99999%ut we

clear cut
contradiction between awa&aman and ;"7T.
,. Do %e EAT our forefather ???? Awagaman concept says that all
plants and animals are e0 chance ofawa&aman and life hereafter
concept bein& true. uppose a person " believes that after death
we will ta*e birth here in this world in aform that depends on our
deeds. "nother person % believes that if we have &one
a&ainst 5od/scommandments then we will be punished in hell and
if we have followed 5od then wewill be rewarded in paradise. We
will '(T ta*e birth in the form animals or plants orhuman
bein&s a&ain in this world.
uppose after death it was found that "wa&aman was correct,
hence belief of ?r. " wasri&ht and that of ?r. % was wron&.
Then no loss for both of them. %oth will ta*e birth ina form
dependin& on their deeds.%ut.... %ut... but uppose after death
it was found that ife hereafter is correct andawa&aman is
wron& then 'o harm for ?r %. :e will be rewarded paradise as he
obeyed5od. %ut if mr. % has not lead life as per 5(D then ?r. %
will be punished in hell.Ta*in& both scenarios into account -
which is more lo&ical and safer side belief#
