“Towards Him is the return of you all,
The promise of God is sure fact,
Surely he originates and make,
Then He causes it to return again,
In order that He may reward
Those who believe and do good with justice;
And as to those who choose disbelief,
There is for them a boiling water and a painful agony,
On account of what they disbelieved.”

Importance Of The Faith:
This faith is not without effect rather it has a great effect in moulding human character. It awakens in man the sense of a higher life, and thus makes his life more useful. The man who sincerely believes in future life shall try his best to lead his life honestly in this world, so that he may attain the higher life in the next world. The faith in future life implies that every action, however, secretly it be done, must have its fruit and therefore this belief serves both as a impetus to the good and noble deeds and restraint upon evils. This faith leads man to the right path and prevents him from evils. The faith in future existence awakens the sense of moral responsibility, while disbelief in it weakens this sense. Thus, the faith in future life is a great means of establishing peace and order in the world.
Secondly, this faith teaches us with that human life has an aim and this aim is to attain a higher life after death, which can be achieved only by good deeds and actions done in this world. Lastly, this faith serves as a great source of consolation to the disappointed and distressed who believe that they will be allowed to attain the higher life after death which is the aim of every human being.
As regards future the Holy Quran speaks in the following terms;
“Fear Allah and ye know ye have to go to Allah. If ye die ye will get eternal life (while to battle in the cause of religion and truth). Whatever ye give in charity ye will get full compensation and ye will not be tormented (in life hereafter)”(Ad-Dhuha: 4)
