never presume to be more than a mystical movement with no basis in

logic, supported only by myths.

The only source where we can learn the facts about life in this
world and belief in the afterlife is the Qur'an, sent down as a guide for
human beings and the teachings (Sunnah) of the Prophet (may God
bless him and grant him peace).
God says in the Qur'an that life in this world is a temporary test-
ing period for everyone, and that the afterlife is our eternal home-
land. Everyone will have a reward in Paradise or Hell for all the deeds
he has done over the lifetime he has spent in this
world. God reveals this truth in these words
(Qur'an, 6: 32):
The life of this world is nothing but
a game and a diversion. The hereafter
is better for those who do their duty.
So will you not use your intellect?
