Buddhism's Erroneous Beliefs

How can you reject God, when you were dead and then He gave

you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again,
then you will be returned to Him?
God says that every human being is dead to begin with; that is, he
is created out of the basic inanimate elements of soil, water and mud.
Then, God "formed and proportioned" this lifeless mass (Qur'an, 82: 7)

and brought him to life. At a specific time after the individual has been
brought to life, life comes to an end, and he dies. He returns to the earth
and decays back into the soil, where he awaits the final resurrection.

Everyone will be resurrected on the Last Day when, learning that an-
other return to earth is not possible, he will give an account of all the ac-
tions he did in his life. In the Qur'an (44: 56-57), God says that after a
human being has come into this world, he will experience only one
death: "They will not taste any death there—except for the first one.

He will safeguard them from the punishment of the Blazing Fire. A
favor from your Lord. That is the Great Victory."
