Et quiconque désire une religion autre que l'islam ne sera point agréé, et il sera, dans l'au-delà, parmi les perdants.

Que dit l'islam sur le Jour du Jugement?

Comme les chrétiens, les musulmans croient que la vie d'ici-bas n'est qu'une épreuve préparatoire en vue de l'existence de l'au-delà.  Pour chaque individu, cette vie est un test pour la vie qui l'attend après sa mort.  Un jour viendra où tout l'univers sera détruit et les morts seront ressuscités afin d'être jugés par Dieu.  Ce jour-là sera le début d'une vie qui ne finira jamais.  Ce jour-là est le Jour du Jugement, au cours duquel tous les gens seront récompensés par Dieu en fonction de leurs croyances et leurs actions.  Ceux qui meurent tout en croyant que "Il n'y a pas d'autre dieu que Dieu et Mohammed est Son messager" et en étant musulmans seront récompensés ce jour-là et seront admis au Paradis où ils demeureront éternellement, tel que Dieu l'a dit:

 Et ceux qui croient et pratiquent de bonnes oeuvres, ceux-là sont les gens du Paradis où ils demeureront éternellement.  (Coran, 2:82)

Mais ceux qui meurent tout en ne croyant pas que "Il n'y a pas d'autre dieu que Dieu et Mohammed est Son messager", ou en n'étant pas musulmans, perdront pour toujours la chance d'être admis au Paradis et seront envoyés en Enfer, tel que Dieu l'a dit:

 Et quiconque désire une religion autre que l'islam ne sera point agréé, et il sera, dans l'au-delà, parmi les perdants.  (Coran, 3:85)

Et Il a aussi dit:

 Ceux qui ne croient pas et qui meurent mécréants, il ne sera jamais accepté d'aucun d'eux de se racheter, même si pour cela il donnait le contenu, en or, de la terre.  Ils auront un châtiment douloureux, et ils n'auront point de secoureurs.  (Coran, 3:91)

Certaines personnes disent: "Je crois que l'islam est une bonne religion, mais si je me convertissais à l'islam, ma famille, mes amis, et les autres gens me persécuteraient et se moqueraient de moi.  Donc si je ne me convertis pas à l'islam, est-ce que j'entrerai quand même au Paradis et est-ce que je serai sauvé du feu de l'Enfer?"

La réponse à cela est ce que Dieu a dit dans le verset mentionné plus haut: "Et quiconque désire une religion autre que l'islam ne sera point agréé, et il sera, dans l'au-delà, parmi les perdants." 

Après avoir envoyé le prophète Mohammed pour appeler les gens à l'islam, Dieu n'accepte pas que les gens adhèrent à une religion autre que l'islam.  Dieu est notre Créateur et Celui qui pourvoit à nos besoins.  Il a créé, pour nous, tout ce qu'il y a sur la terre.  Toutes les grâces et les bonnes choses dont nous profitons viennent de Lui.  Donc après tout cela, lorsque quelqu'un refuse de croire en Dieu, au prophète Mohammed ou à l'islam,  il est juste qu'il ou qu'elle soit puni(e) dans l'au-delà.  En fait, le but principal de notre création est d'adorer Dieu seul et de Lui obéir, tel que Dieu l'a dit dans le Coran (51:56).

Cette vie que nous vivons en ce moment est très courte.  Les mécréants, au Jour du Jugement, croiront que la vie qu'ils ont vécue sur terre n'aura duré que l'espace d'un jour, ou d'une partie d'un jour, comme Dieu l'a dit: 

 Il (Dieu) dira: "Combien d'années êtes-vous restés sur terre?"  Ils diront: "Nous y sommes demeurés un jour, ou une partie d'un jour..."  (Coran, 23:112-113)

Et Il a dit:

 Pensiez-vous que Nous vous avions créés sans but, et que vous ne seriez pas ramenés vers Nous (dans l'au-delà)?  Que Dieu soit exalté, le vrai Souverain!  Pas de divinité en dehors de Lui...  (Coran, 23:115-116)

La vie dans l'au-delà est tout à fait réelle.  Ce n'est pas qu'une vie spirituelle, c'est aussi une vie physique.  Nous vivrons dans l'au-delà avec nos âmes et nos corps. 

En comparant le monde d'ici-bas avec l'au-delà, le prophète Mohammed a dit: {La valeur de ce bas-monde en comparaison de l'autre est comme lorsque vous plongez votre doigt dans la mer et que vous le retirez: voyez donc ce que vous en retirez (de la mer) avec votre doigt!}¹  La signification de ce hadith est que la valeur de ce monde comparée à celle de l'au-delà est comme quelques gouttes d'eau comparées à la mer tout entière.

(And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter. (Quran, 3:85)

Islamic History in Arabia and Middle East

THE MESSAGE:

In or about the year 570 the child who would be named Muhammad and who would become the Prophet of one of the world's great religions, Islam, was born into a family belonging to a clan of Quraysh, the ruling tribe of Mecca, a city in the Hijaz region of northwestern Arabia.
Originally the site of the Ka'bah, a shrine of ancient origins, Mecca had with the decline of southern Arabia (see Chapter l ) become an important center of sixth-century trade with such powers as the Sassanians, Byzantines, and Ethiopians. As a result the city was dominated by powerful merchant families among whom the men of Quraysh were preeminent.
Muhammad's father, 'Abd Allah ibn'Abd al-Muttalib, died before the boy was born; his mother, Aminah, died when he was six. The orphan was consigned to the care of his grandfather, the head of the clan of Hashim. After the death of his grandfather, Muhammad was raised by his uncle, Abu Talib. As was customary, Muhammad as a child was sent to live for a year or two with a Bedouin family. This custom, followed until recently by noble families of Mecca, Medina, Tayif, and other towns of the Hijaz, had important implications for Muhammad. In addition to enduring the hardships of desert life, he acquired a taste for the rich language so loved by the Arabs, whose speech was their proudest art, and learned the patience and forbearance of the herdsmen, whose life of solitude he first shared and then came to understand and appreciate.
About the year 590, Muhammad, then in his twenties, entered the service of a widow named Khadijah as a merchant actively engaged with trading caravans to the north. Sometime later Muhammad married Khadijah, by whom he had two sons - who did not survive - and four daughters.
During this period of his life Muhammad traveled widely. Then, in his forties he began to retire to meditate in a cave on Mount Hira outside of Mecca, where the first of the great events of Islam took place. One day, as he sat in the cave, he heard a voice, later identified as that of the Angel Gabriel, which ordered him to:
Recite: In the name of thy Lord who created, Created man from a clot of blood.
Three times Muhammad pleaded his inability to do so, but each time the command was repeated. Finally, Muhammad recited the words of what are now the first five verses of the 96th surah or chapter of the Quran - words which proclaim God the Creator of man and the Source of all knowledge.
At first Muhammad divulged his experience only to his wife and his immediate circle. But as more revelations enjoined him to proclaim the oneness of God universally, his following grew, at first among the poor and the slaves, but later also among the most prominent men of Mecca. The revelations he received at this time and those he did so later are all incorporated in the Quran, the Scripture of Islam.
Photo: The sun rises over Jabal al-Rahmah, the Mount of Mercy, where Muhammad in his farewell sermon told the assembled Muslims, "I have delivered God's message to you and left you with a clear command: the Book of God and the practice of His Prophet. If you hold fast to this you will never go astray."

Not everyone accepted God's message transmitted through Muhammad. Even in his own clan there were those who rejected his teachings, and many merchants actively opposed the message. The opposition, however, merely served to sharpen Muhammad's sense of mission and his understanding of exactly how Islam differed from paganism. The belief in the unity of God was paramount in Islam; from this all else followed. The verses of the Quran stress God's uniqueness, warn those who deny it of impending punishment, and proclaim His unbounded compassion to those who submit to His will. They affirm the Last Judgment, when God, the Judge, will weigh in the balance the faith and works of each man, rewarding the faithful and punishing the transgressor. Because the Quran rejected polytheism and emphasized man's moral responsibility, in powerful images, it presented a grave challenge to the worldly Meccans.

Eid for Muslims is a time of unity when they all break their fast together and perform a prayer out in the open [preferably] with men, women, elderly, adults and kids all attending the prayer.

Eid Reflection The word Eid in Arabic means: 'a gathering of a group at any day.' It is also related to the meaning: 'to return' which indicates that this day returns again every year. From an Islamic perspective, Eid is the day Muslims celebrate finishing the fasting of the month of Ramadan. Eid (El-Fitr) or breaking fast (1st day of Shawwal) comes after finishing fasting during the month of Ramadan, and Eid (Al-Adha) or sacrifice (10th day of Zul-Hijja) comes after finishing the major acts of pilgrimage or Hajj. Eid for Muslims is a time of celebration but of a unique kind. It is a celebration of gratefulness to Allah by responding to His call through fasting this month. Allah said: "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for those [who have believed] before you, so that you may be [ever] God-fearing." [Quran 2:183]. It is a celebration of thanks that He gave us the chance to worship Him. Allah said: "They say: all praise is for God [alone] who has guided us to this! Nor would we ever have been guided had God not guided us." [Quran 7:43]. It is a celebration of love and joy for practicing one of the most beloved acts to Allah, fasting! Allah said in the holy Hadith: "All acts of the son of Adam are for himself but fasting, it is for Me and I shall reward by it." (Hadith narrated by Baihaqi). Eid for Muslims is a time of unity when they all break their fast together and perform a prayer out in the open [preferably] with men, women, elderly, adults and kids all attending the prayer. Ibn Abbas narrated that the prophet (PBUH) used to bring his wives and daughters to Eid prayer. (Hadith narrated by Ibn Majah). Eid for Muslims is an act of worship toward Allah (SW). Allah (SW) said: "For each [faith] -community We have appointed [sacred] rites, so that they may mention the name of God." [Quran 22:34]. Eid (El-Fitr & Al-Adha) are the only two Eids (holidays) celebrated in Islam. When the prophet (PBUH) came to Madinah, he found that people used to celebrate two days during the time of ignorance period (Jahiliyya). He said: "I came to you and you have two days you celebrated during (Jahiliyya) and Allah has substituted for you better days: the Day of Sacrifice and the Day of breaking Fast." (Hadith narrated by Ahmad & Abu Daoud).  Eid for Muslims is a celebration of the symbol of being clean from your sins and bad deeds. The prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever did fast Ramadan out of faith and hoping for rewards [from Allah] (SW), forgiveness will be granted to all his past sins." (Hadith narrated by Ahmad). Eid for Muslims is the time for entertainment and having fun. When the Abyssinians came to the Mosque in Madinah with their dancing performance, the prophet (PBUH) called on Aisha (RAA) to watch. When Omar son of Al-Khattab saw them performing in the Mosque and wanted to stop them, the prophet (PBUH) said: "Leave them alone O Omar, this is what they do." The prophet (PBUH) then looked at them and said: "Be safe [while performing] and let the people of the Book know that there is a space in our religion [for entertainment]." (Hadith narrated by Bukhari). Eid for Muslims is a time when they remember the poor by giving charity before the Eid prayer so the poor can use it to enjoy on such a day what they might be missing on other days. Zakatul Fitr is the term used for such a charity; Ibn Omar (RAA) said: "The prophet (PBUH) ordained Zakatul Fitr of Ramadan from dates or barley on everyone had it be a free man or a slave, a male or a female and young or old. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari). In this blessed Eid we pray to Allah to grant us all the Barakah and blessings of this Eid. We pray that Allah will unite Muslims and bring happiness and joy to them in this life and in the Hereafter. *****
