THE OTHER WORLD
Think for a moment what this other world must be
like. God’s prophet has stated that heaven and hell
exist there, and that everyone who dies must
eventually find his eternal abode in one of the two.
Those who are obedient to God in this world and
act in a virtuous fashion will be rewarded with a
place in paradise, while those who are evil and
rebellious towards God will be cast into an
excruciating Fire.
It is important to understand that human actions
fall into one of two categories. The first comprises
everyday, routine matters, in which no moral choice
has to be made, and also purely accidental
happenings whose outcome, whether good or bad,
cannot be judged from the moral standpoint
because they contained no purposive element. The
second category is very different in nature because
it covers a wide and complex range of actions the
rights and wrongs of which have to be scrupulously
considered before being carried out. This is known
as the ethical category.
