I once told talloola: your feet is in the grave; but you should know talloola that my feet may also be in the grave or nearer than you; this is up to God;
but I said that because if one is going to meet his Lord: the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious; then he or she should be wise and prepare himself/herself to the next afterlife: that is by:
>>
believe in God alone without associate.
>>
never be against God Almighty: I mean even if you doubt then we should inquire and contemplate, not deny and be against God; because this will lead to extreme loss in this World and in the afterlife.
>> give some
dresses to the poor
for God's sake alone without associate and you will be dressed the same dresses that you give in the World, but that will be the ethereal image of the material dresses. Or else one will be naked in the afterlife world, and cannot buy any dresses to cover his/her shame.
>> give some
food and fruit to the poor
for God's sake alone without associate, and you will eat the same food that you contributed in the life of the World, but that will be the ethereal image of the material food and fruit.
>> give some
furniture, blankets, dishes ...etc to the poor and needy
for God's sake alone without associate and then you will have the ethereal images of the same material furniture and utensils and dishes that you contributed in the life of the World.
>> all that should be
for the sake of God and seeking after His good pleasure; or else he/she will not rewrarded for any good work if he/she is atheist or idolater or associater.
The soul after death
Success and prosperity in the afterlife
As in the Quran
25: 23
وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَى مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاء مَّنثُورًا
The explanation:
(And We shall turn to the [good] work [the associaters] did, and make it [as] scattered motes [: scattered by the wind, and they will not be rewarded for it.])
Thank you SJP, but you also and most of members here refuse to consider the wisdom of the Quran which I try to show to you.
Why not the civil and logical man should contemplate and consider; because there will be no book revealed after the Quran, other than only its interpretation.
As in the Quran
7: 185
أوَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا في ملَكوتِ السّماواتِ والأرْضِ وما خَلَقَ اللهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وأنْ عَسَى أنْ يَكُونَ قَد اقْتَربَ أجَلُهُمْ فبِأيّ حَديثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤمِنُون ؟
The explanation:
(Have they not considered the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and what things God has created,
and it may be their term is already drawing nigh;
in what revelation, after this [Quran], then will they believe?)
