Other Godly religions are also God's laws, but either their role had finished or they have been altered by men. Islam is the last religion God has chosen for humanity. A prophet is a good man, fit and able to deliver the message of God. He should be faultless in order to be a model for others to follow. In other words, he ought to be an efficient person to conduct a cultural trans- formation within the society.

Prophets have appeared throughout history to perform their duty as witnesses, heralds of mercy and warners. They conduct the cultural change and warn people against going astray. 3. Belief in the Hereafter: Man consists of a material body and a soul. The latter is called in modern psychology "mind." After death the material body goes back to the physical world as chemical com- pounds while the mind or soul goes to a world of its own type.

It is believed that during the period between death and the day of judgement people are classified under three categories. Those who have been extremely good by obey- ing God and His Prophet will be in a state of happiness during that period which is called "barzakh. " Other people who have been ex- tremely sinful -during their life, will get the torment of "barzakh. " The rest of the people who are in between, their soul would be static.

The second stage is the day of Judgment, people will be reminded of their good and bad deeds in this world, and prepared to receive their reward or punishment.

Good people will be rewarded by being sent to Paradise, while the evildoers will be sent to Hell, In Paradise, people will receive wonderful pleasure and happiness: "Allah has promised the believers, men and women, gardens underneath which rivers flow, forever therein to dwell, and goodly dwelling places in the gardens of `adn (of perpetual bliss); and ,greater, Allah's good pleasure; that is the grand achievement" (Qur an, 9:72).

In * Hell people would get every torment, and the fuel of the fire is human beings and stones. A person commits sins when he behaves against God's laws. Everyone is responsible for his own deeds. He is not charged with sins committed by other people. Previous…
