> > is just a short stage of our life. Then there is the other life. The
> > boundary between the first and second life is the death stage, which

> > in the first life.
> >
> > The First Life as an Examination
> >
> > So, Islam looks at the first life as an examination of man. The death
> > stage is similar to a rest period after the test, i. e. after the
> > first life. The Day of Judgment is similar to the day of announcing
> > the results of the examinees. The second life is the time when each

> > the test period.
> >
> > In Islam, the line of life is clear, simple, and logical: the first
> > life, death, the Day of Judgment, and then the second life. With this
> > clear line of life, the Muslim has a clear purpose in life. The
> > Muslim knows he is created by Allah. Muslims know they are going to
> > spend some years in this first life, during which they have to obey
> > God, because God will question them and hold them responsible for
> > their public or private deeds, because Allah knows about all the
> > deeds of all people. The Muslim knows that his deeds in the first
> > life will determine the type of second life they will live in. The
> > Muslim knows that this first life is a very short one, one hundred
> > years, more or less, whereas the second life is an eternal one.
> >
> > The Eternity of the Second Life
> >
> > The concept of the eternity of the second life has a tremendous
> > effect on a Muslims during their first life, because Muslims believe
> > that their first life determines the shape of their second life. In
> > addition, this determines the shape of their second life and this
> > determination will be through the Judgment of Allah, the All just and
> > Almighty.

> > With this belief in the second life and the Day of Judgment, the

> > The Need for a Permanent Purpose

> > Disbelievers have purposes in their lives such as collecting money

> > Sexual activities cannot continue forever. All these lusts for money,

> > However, Islam saves Muslims from the trouble of asking the question,
