rejection of one of
the most
fundemental
beliefs of Islam

the Hereafter.
Heaven and Hell
Those who are not Musilms will go to hell but
Non-Musilms who did good in this world will
be rewarded on earth but their are destined
to go to Hell. Muslims who did bad in this
world will go to Hell for a certain amount of
time and then will be entered to Heaven due
to their firm belief in Allah. Those who did
good all their life and followed all of Allah's
commands will go to heaven. Martyrs,
Innocent children and babies who passed
away are destined to go to heaven.
Allah controls
our lives and
he has the
power to end it
only. Suicide is
Haram and

as Muslims.

Evil and suffering
means there isn't a
god as he wouldn't
hurt his creation.
