    Were born into this life. We grow from babies to infants then to kids without a carein the world. From kids we turn into teenagers going to school, learning about life andeverything in between. We experiment with

    life on our way to adulthood. As adults wemarry and have children of our own. Wework our entire lives to support this family.We grow old and eventually die. No matterwhat school you go to or what career you endup having, this is the basic cycle of this life we

    live in. Is there more? Can this be all? Arewe only created to live mortal lives an average of seventy years then die only to turn to dust? No! The truth is that every single person who has ever touched this Earth isimmortal and will live forever How you ask?

    Modern science has gone into quite some depth in detailing the processes of human life

    in regards to the physical realm. As a result of their research, people live longer and healthier lives, but we all still inevitably die. Not much has been discussed concerningwhat happens after we die or more importantly what happens to us not our

    bodies but our souls. Although science has yet totouch upon the topic of the soul, human beings aremade up of an energy source that stays with us until

    the time of death. Could this energy be the soul Allah (God) created and breathed into us all?

    These are excerpts from an article written by K. Ferlic entitled Conservation of Energy.

    .It has been found and rather well established in Physical Creation that energyexists and can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed. (Can this energybe our soul?)

    .The first implication is that since all the energy of an existing creation is either in anexisting form or flowing into form, some existing form or flow will need to be given up tomanifest a new creation. This gives rise to the

    sacrifice of creation for any creative endeavor.The sacrifice of creation is inescapable..(Could this sacrifice be the death of our physicalbodies?)

    The second point is that creation is about transformation. It is about transforming theexisting form. We can convert the existing energy from a fixed form into a useable

    form or divert an existing flow of energy so that it appears we are creating energy. Butall we do is transform an existing form. (Could this transformation symbolize thetransformation from this life to the next life after death?)

    The transformation of energy which needs to occur can beinternal or external to our being. Usually the transformationis both because ofhow the inner is reflected in the outer. If we

    use the implications of pair production principle, there will always be an internal transformation for every external transformation. What this means is to create anything newthat has not been seen or previously experienced, somethingold must be given up. There will always be something that

    must be transformed. There will always be the death of something that exists to create something new. There will always be a sacrifice of the existing form in some way tocreate the new. (Death is inevitable for everyone, so there will always be death in this

    life transforming the old physical energy into a new energy of being)

    Science has discovered that every human being hasenergy within themselves and that this energycannot be expelled or destroyed, but only

    transferred. They have yet to figure out how thisenergy can be created or copied, but only knowthat once the physical body of a person dies, thisenergy is released into the universe. or beyond.

    If you are a Muslim or Christian, then you know that our Creator promises us eternal

    life in either Paradise or Hellfire. So, why is it that when it comes to how we live in thisworld, we act as if this is it and there is nothing else? These bodies that we are in areonly temporary, but the soul that has been breathed into us by Allah (God) is eternaland everlasting.

    Muslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. Allah tells us in the Quran:

    He says [mankind], But those who disbelieve say, "The Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment) will not come to us." Say, "Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you.[Allah is] the Knower of the unseen." Not absent from Him is an atom's weight

    within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, exceptthat it is in a clear register That He may reward those who believe and do righteous

    deeds. Those will have forgiveness and noble provision.

    But those who strive against Our verses [seeking] tocause failure (i.e., to undermine their credibility) for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature.(Quran, 34:35)

    Also,It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not duringtheir sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from

    returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily inthis are Signs for those who reflect.(Quran 39:42)

    So clearly in the Qur an, Allah (God) is telling

    mankind about another life after this present onein which we will be judged for the things that weused to do. The righteous will be rewarded as theones who disobeyed will be punished. This could very well be the scientific/religious linkconcerning the bodysenergy that expels at the

    time of onesdeath. If this is the soul and ittransfers into the next realm of existence of reward and/or punishment, the questionis how long will this next realm of punishment and reward last and will we dieanother time after this earthly death?

    And they were not commanded except to worship Allah sincere to Him in religion,inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give charity. And that is the correctreligion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the people of the scripture and thepolytheist, they will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worstof creatures. Indeed they who have believed and done righteous deeds, those are the best

    of creatures. There reward withAllah will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow,

    wherein they will abide forever, Allahbeing pleased with them and theywith Him. That is for whoever hasfeared his Lord.(Quran 98:5-8)

    In the Bible it says: Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodiesthat will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled(1 Corinthians 15:54)

    So we now know that when we die, this energy/soul is expelled and transferred to anunknown place. Allah (God) tells us in the Quran that He takes our souls at deathand brings them into another realm of existence where we will be held accountable for

    our actions in this present worldly life. So, why are people living in this life like there is nothing else?People prepare for things pertaining to this shortworldly existence which lasts one hundred years at

    most, when Allah (God) tells us that the next life iseternal and everlasting. Why are we not preparingfor that life and ignoring this one? Why is our time

    spent watching television, drinking, partying, gainingwealth and materials instead of the worshipping of our Lord and obeying His commands? After all, it

    is either punishment or reward forever in this next life.

    One might ask,How do I earn Paradise and save myself from punishment?

    Well,Allah says in the Quran: "Nay-whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer

    of good He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall theygrieve.(Quran 2:112)

    And also, "(O Muslims) Your (real) friends areAllah, His Messenger [Muhammad], and the

    (Fellowship Of) Believers, those who establishregular prayers and regular charity, and they bowdown humbly (in worship).(Quran 5:55)

    We dont earn this great reward of Paradise by ignoring Allah the Creator, neverworshipping Him, disobeying His commands and just by doing what you wish. This is

    the direct route to the Hellfire. So many today act as if this life is their only enjoymentand forget the fact that Paradise is waiting with their Lord. They live it up here in a place where there is pain and suffering. You prepare months in advance for avacation, for a new baby and even prepare for your own funerals, but never do you

    throw a single thought at preparing for the life to come. This is a life where you will notneed your passport or any identification. You will not be able to take your friends andfamily, your wealth or possessions. On that journey to the next life, it will just be you

    and your actions. good and bad. If you compare one hundred years to eternity youwill see that there really is no comparison. This life is like the blink of an eye comparedto the next life. In the life to come we are all immortal and will never die. The final question is. do you want to live forever in Paradise getting rewarded or do you wantto live forever in Hellfire being punished.for the rest of eternity?
