[edit] Belief in Allah
Is the only criteria for your final destination the fact you believe in Allah? Does how you led your life have anything to do with going to heaven or not?
- You'll have to know those answers "hearthfully", in order to give them that day. More specifically, the way you spent your life and the way you beleived will determine if you'll be able to speak the answers clearly, or you'll be unable to do so.
- It's better not to thing in the terms of your "ability" in your lifetime.
- Sukru
[edit] Heaven or Hell
According to Islam, if you have even the slightest belief in God equal to a mustard seed, you will eventually enter heaven. However, it is all up to God, we cannot speak for Him, and He will take into account extenuating circumstances such as if a person never heard of God before they died. How you led your life will affect how you are judged on Judgment Day, and will affect where you are placed in heaven or hell. mr100percent 2005.02.07
[edit] Prophet
"depending on what time period they live in, they will name their prophet"
Could someone, please, elaborate this statement?
- According to Islam, Muhammed is not the only prophet, but is one of them and is the Seal of the Prophets. There have been earlier ones, starting from Adam, including Moses, Abraham, to Jesus (actual number is more than 100,000).
- So even if you did not live after the time of Muhammed, you'll be able to speak the name of the prophet of your time or region and will gain salvation.
- Note: As far as I know, according to Christianity there is no chance for salvation for those who lived before Jesus, is this true?
- Sukru

- See Harrowing of Hell, for a start, for more information on Christian beliefs about this. 86.136.7.160 17:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coincidence?
All-mighty Allah sent down to the people prophets from amongst themselves, (from their own tribes and peoples). And all of these prophets lead the people on one path, the path pf Islam.
In Russian: <<http://www.umma.ru/articles/al-maida/>>: "...Он ниспосылал им пророков из них же самих (из их же племен и народов), которые вели людей по одному, (широченному и) единому пути (понимания, восприятия жизни)...."
Is it just a coincidence that the word "wrong" is also "Munkar" - in Arabic?
