maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai doctor tahir mustafa sahab ka. unhon ne likha hai: "There is a common belief, especially among Hindus, that one gets reward for his doings, good or bad, in this world only. What is the Islamic viewpoint about it?" nahi, dekhiye, yeh hindu dharm ka yeh bhi nazariya nahi jo aap keh rahe hain, sahi nahi hai. mere nazdeek hindu dharm mein to punarjanm hai, yeh nahi hai sahi. yeh shukr log aisa kehte honge,

kisi bhi dharm mein yeh baat nahi hai. lekin jahan tak islam ki baat hai, islam mein dekhiye, yeh baat saaf hai ke allah taala ne ek farq kar rakha hai: pre death period aur post death period. pre death period jo hai, woh testing period hai aur post death period jo hai, woh reward period hai. yahan par amal karna hai, wahan par jaza paana hai. yeh islam ka tareeqa hai. baqi jo unhon ne kaha hai, woh mere nazdeek kisi mazhab mein nahi hai. secular logon ka nazariya albatta ho sakta hai aisa.
