Page "Afterlife" Paragraph 76

The Islamic belief in the afterlife as stated in the Qur ' an is descriptive.

The Islamic word for Paradise is jannat and Hell is jahannam.

Jannat and Jahannam both have different levels.

Jannat has 7 gates and seven levels.

The higher the level the better it is and the happier you are.

Jahannam possess 7 deep terrible layers.

The lower the layer the worse it is.

Individuals will arrive at both everlasting homes during Judgment Day, which commences after the Angel Israfel blows the trumpet the second time.

Their level of comfort while in the grave depends wholly on their level of Iman or faith in the one God, or Allah, equivalent in Arabic.

In order for one to achieve proper, firm and healthy Iman one must practice righteous deeds or else his level of Iman chokes and shrinks and eventually can wither away if one does not practice Islam long enough, hence the depth of practicing Islam is good deeds.

One may also acquire Tasbih and recite the names of Allah in such manner as " SubahannAllah " or Glory be to Allah in Arabic over and over again to acquire good deeds.

The levels in Jannah are 7 and 7 (?

) for Jahannam.
