40. What does reincarnation mean?
Reincarnation is a baseless superstition. It was produced
as a result of the concern felt by certain irreligious people in
their subconscious about “disappearing after death” or the
fear that grips people with poor religious faith when they think
about going to the hereafter after death. For either group, it is
an attractive prospect, in their own eyes, to come back to the
world once again after death.
However, in many verses of the Qur’an, it is stated that
there is only one life in this world where man is tested. It is
also stated that there is no return to the world after death.
That man will die only once is emphasized in the following
verse:
They will not taste any death there – except for the first
one. Your Lord will through His mercy safeguard them
from the punishment of the Blazing Fire. (Surat ad-
Dukhan: 56)
