1/16

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Pray: Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straightway (Al-Quran 1: 4-5),

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, (Gospel of John 1:

23)

Life after death: in the light science and holy Quran

Md. Aminul Hoque Chowdhoury

From the ancient time, human beings have believed that there is life after death. At the same

time, many people have been asking if it is possible life after death. But most of the people are

doubtful how it is possible.

Background of the Study:

As I am an occupational therapist and my job is to teach and to develop motivation on life of

people with spinal cord injury who lost their limbs. It is very hard to regain their motivation in

their life. On my experience, I find out two kinds of people, one group becomes motivated easily

and others are reluctant to depression and anxiety. On my investigation, I have found one

important factor of motivation in life is Life after death whether he/she belongs to any religion.

One group (A) of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have strong faith on life after death

trend lesser level of depression than others who have no or weaker level of faith on life after

death. Faithful people on Life after death usually take condition as a test or penalty from God,

and if they repent and seek forgiveness with earnest pray they will get better reward and eternal

life. They take it (injury) as a challenge to prove them as good human being. On other hand (B),


2/16

people who have fewer or no faith on life after hereafter, trend to consider the injury as a greater

loss of their life which will not be regained.

Imagine two persons with SCI whose hands and legs are paralyzed, both are at one (A) is

praying, reciting holy verses and looking for a better life at hereafter and other (B) is depressed,

hopeless, and bemoaning for the losses. For motivating A in engaging meaningful occupations, I

am getting supports of the story or verses of holy books but for B it is really hard to accept

his/her disability. Faith on life after death is really motivating tools for people with disability.

If I want to us it in hospital, I might have evidence. I have not found literature regarding this

point Life after death except religious books though there are lots of evidences on spiritual

healing.

Though most of the people in country (Bangladesh), I studied on Quran to know about Life

after Death. Interestingly, this book is inviting us to confirm the truth of Life after Death.

Allah is seeking our attention toward something to confirm the truths that life after death is

possible. For example:

Man says: "What! When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?" But does not man call to

mind that We created him before out of nothing? (Al-Quran 19:66-67)

(Sing of our starting of my life. Before creating our sperm we were nothing. )

We created you, so why do you not confirm the truth?Have you thought aboutthe sperm that

you ejaculate? Is it you who create it or are We the Creator? (Qur'an, 56: 57-59)

(Sign of the Sperm is responsible origin of my life and it is the indicator to verifyLife after

Death)


3/16

Who can clearly say this 14th

century ago by an unlettered person and when it was considered as

dark ages by western philosophers? Answer is Allah almighty Lord, the creator and sustainer of

this universe, only who knows everything.

After reading these verses, I started to think about my creation.

Who am I?

Answer: I am a human being.

W

hat is my specialty than other animal?

I have some special characteristics that other animal do not have. Such as ability to judge, ability

to learn through observation and innovation, ability to reasoning, feeling to self-accomplishment,

ability to change my position, generosity etc (this are my positive site). And also I have negative

side such ability to harm, cruelty, selfishness, arguments, Greediness, jealousy etc.

In contrary, other animals are so different. What is innate on them, the pass their rest of life with

those innate characteristics. Moreover, human baby born in most unlearn way with a solid brain

but after exploring with it surrounding environments it gradually learn things one by one and

once it becomes as most intelligent creature. But other animal born with some special

characteristic for example baby cattle can walk with few minutes after its birth then find out

mothers breast and with few days or weeks start to eat certain kind of grass or leaves and rest of

life, they pass by eating grass only. No need to change their appetite. In context of human being

it so different.

Why does these huge differences of human being with other animal?

Main factor is our gene or DNA. It is determining every biological and physiological instinct of

every living creature.


4/16

The biological and physiological information of our body are coded through genetic coding at

our DNA.

That is exactly mentioned in holy Quran:

Verily Weshall give life to the dead, andWe record thatwhich they send before and that which

they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book(of evidence). (Al-

Quran 36:12)

(Clear signs about DNA) (Could a unlettered man say it 14th century ago?)

How did I come in the world?

First of all, I have to realize about my first DNA. How it was form? It was formed by meiosis

cell division at my fathers and mothers body after that it form sperm and ovum and stored at

testis and ovary. Interestingly, they are not complete DNA, Sperm is determiner and ovum is

receiver. Sperm contain XY or XX (identity) but Ovum contain XX chromosome.

Think, for creation of myself, parents are required. For every persons creation two people one

male and other female are required. Does it not confirm that human being started their life from a

couple? Yes, according to religious scripture, two couple is our origin in this earth.

If things are not like that, millions of questions will arise then that could not be solved. For

example, one group of people are developed at north America and other are in Asia. How did

they knew, those people has two eyes we also need two eyes? How did they know, those people

have 23 pairs of chromosomes, we also need same number of chromosome otherwise we could

not marry them? they are not a solvable question. If we try toanswer them, we have to be mad. Theories of evolution, e.g. Darwinism, are never ever able to

solve it.

Then they would say of, a couple suddenly developed first. Then also, they will not be able

thousands of questions regarding this matter. For example, why did they develop interdependent


5/16

way? How did they know, he/she the genetic structure of each other? How did they determine

the number of chromosome of each body so that their conception could occur?

.. .. Again, these types of questions are not soluble. If

I try to answer them, I must be mad.

If I say, almighty God made them, all problems are solved. DNA is a supreme form of

programming. Would please answer, can any program be without a programmer? Answer is

Impossible. Think about everything of your body, world or universe. There is nothing that is

not purposeful or not benefited for us. Everything is programmed. Is it we who did the program

of the universe? Only answer is almighty GOD.

No constructive things are the result of by chance or accident. Accident causes destruction not

construction.

Almighty God says about it at holy Quran:

Let not their speech, then, grieve thee. Verily We know what they hide as well as what they

disclose. Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? Yet behold! he (stands

forth) as an open adversary! And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and)

Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?" Say, "He

will give them life Who created them for the first time!for He is Well-versed in every kind of

creation. (Al-Quran 36:76-79)

(Clear sign of sperm is responsible of sex or our identity. We know male has XY or XX

chromosome whereas female has only XX chromosome, therefore scientists say, Sperm is

determiner and Ovum is receiver. In our lame society, there are still so many people who blame

their wives for giving female child birth. However, it is clearly mentioned in a book 4th

century

ago. Who can clearly say it 14th

century ago, when dark ages were going on? Answer: It is

mentioned by either an unlettered person or by Almighty Lord, Allah, who knows everything. It

is another proof that Quran is the words of God (Allah). )


6/16

Next stages of our creation:

Step 2: Billions of sperm gathered at testis before they are being ejaculated. They could be either

XX or XY. Al-Quran says about it as:

Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay); Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a

place of rest, firmly fixed;(Qur'an, 23:12-13)

(Sign of our testis from where sperm developed and stored before ejaculation)

He has created both sexes, male and female from a drop of semen which has been ejected.

(Qur'an, 53:45-46)

(Sign of XX and XY from semen)

Who could clearly say it 14th

century ago? Answer Allah only who knows everything.

Step 3:

Then become a drop of semen with other necessary fluid, so that they can swim and race.

Al-Quran says about it as:

5. Does man reckon he will be left uncontrolled [without purpose]? Was he not once a drop of

ejected semen? (Qur'an, 75:36-37)


century ago? Answer Allah only.

Step 4:

Pregnancy starts after the conception of sperm and ovum by forming zygote in proportionate

connection of chromosome of sperms and ovum. It is important to note that every portion of

sperm is damaged except DNA before forming the Zygote.


7/16


He Who has created all things in the best possible way. He commenced the creation of man from

clay; then He made hisprogeny from an extract of discarded fluid. (Qur'an, 32:7-8)



Curse man for his ingratitude! From what thing did He create him? From a drop of sperm He

created him andproportioned him. (Qur'an, 80:17-19).

(Sign ofproportionately genetic coding during zygotic development).

Wasn't he a drop of ejaculated sperm, then an embryo which He created and shaped, making

from it both sexes, male and female? (Qur'an,75:37-39)

(Sign after forming Zygote, it become obvious either it is male or female)

Who could clearly say them 14th


Step 5:

After forming Zygote, mitosis cell division starts followed by stage by stage development of the

organs of our body.


He creates you stage by stage in your mothers' wombsin three fold darkness. That is Allah, your

Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no deity but Him. So what has made you deviate? (Qur'an,

39:6)


8/16

(Sign ofstage by stage development of zygote to embryo and Sing ofthree layers of protective

covering of the embryo and Fetus)

[We] then formed the drop into an embryo and formed the embryo into a lump and formed thelump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another

creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Qur'an, 23:14)

(Sign ofstages of embryological development or growth)



We created man from a mingled drop to test him, and We made him hearing and seeing. (Qur'an,

76:2)

(Sign of semen and order of sensory organs development. Recent scientific discovery say that

our development of hearing or ears occurs first then sight or eyes) Who could clearly say it 14th


Who can surly say it 14th


Step: 6

After getting the shape of complete human baby from embryological development, it is called as

fetus. All body parts start to get matured and to gain functions. Our sensory organs ears and eyes

are started to gain their functions. First matured sensory system is hearing, next is sights and

third is our perceptions. That is also clearly mentioned in holy Quran:


9/16

It is He Who has created hearing, sight and minds for you. What little thanks you show! (Qur'an,

23:78)

(Sign of developmental order of our sensory system)



Step 7: Birth or Delivery

During delivery or child birth, pelvic ligaments become loosen due to hormone secretion causing

path of delivery widen and gliding movements of baby make it easy to birth, if any problem

occurs in this process then surgery is must.

..Then He eases the way for him. (Qur'an, 80:20)

(Sign of easing path of delivery)

Who does determine the hormone secretion during birth?



Step 8: Infant.

Child born is occurred with a solid brain without knowing anything. But it comes some senses

that help to learn quickly from surrounding environment. That is also clearly mentioned at holy

Quran:


10/16

Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all, and gave you hearing,

sight and minds so that perhaps you would show thanks. (Qur'an, 16:78)

(Sign of childs sensory situation during birth )



Above mentioned verses will help you to understand following verse about the confirmation of

life after death. I suggest you to read above mentioned verses again than read following verse.

Now the final verses: Let us to analyze how life after death is certainly possible

Please, read following verses of holy Quran carefully and attentively

"3. And yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah, without knowledge, and follow

every evil one obstinate in rebellion!4. About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship, him will he lead

astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire.

5. O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of

dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed

and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We

will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster

you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are

sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and

(further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred

(to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).

6. This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who

has power over all things.


11/16

7. And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about (the fact) that Allah

will raise up all who are in the graves.

8. Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, without Knowledge, without

Guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment,-

9. (Disdainfully) bending his side, in order to lead (men) astray from the Path of Allah. for him

there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgment We shall make him taste the Penalty of

burning (Fire).

10. (It will be said): "This is because of the deeds which thy hands sent forth, for verily Allah is

not unjust to His servants." (Al-Quran 22: 3-10)

If you analyze the verse 5-8: You will realize how we will be raised up after

our death:

If you analyze the verse 5-8: You will realize how we will be raised up after

our death:

1. We created you out of dust Yes it is true that we are created from dust first. Scientific

evidences have found that the constituent of our body mass is almost same of the constituents of

soil. Therefore, first person of the earth must be from earth. (1st proof).

2. then out of sperm hen we were in sperm. Yes, now-a-days, scientific finding is telling that

sperm is responsible of the child. Sperm is the determiner of the child because sperm carry XX

or XY DNA but ovum is receiver as it carry only xx DNA. What is the DNA? DNA is a

programming of a child's biological information through genetic coding. Now I am asking you,

can a program be without a programmer? Answer No. So, who has done the program of DNA?

Answer Allah only. Which portion of sperm meets with Ovum? DNA. So who could surely say

in Quran about Sperm is only responsible for child 14th century ago? Allah only. (2nd proof).


12/16

3. then out of a leech-like clot(here it uses Arabic word "Alaq")

Arabic word "Alaq" has three distinct meaning: a leach-like clot, something clinch, and

something feed blood from others body.

Here Quran wisely uses the word "Alaq". It could use the other word of those three meanings.

Now analyze our "embryo". During the first phase of blastocyte, when no blood vessels are not

formed, it seems like blood clot, (1st meaning is the proof), Our Embryo does also clinch at

mother womb (2nd meaning is the proof) and our embryo does also feed blood from mothers

body (3rd meaning is proof). Here by a "word", Quran is telling details our first stage of life

(Embryo). However, we have knew about these information very recently due to advancement of

medical technology. So, who can clearly say it in Quran 14th century ago? Answer Allah only

(3rd proof),

4. "then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may

manifest (our power) to you";

It is about one stage of out fetal development. When somebody parts like brain and internal

organs are developed, and external organs like skeleton, skin, and skull are yet to developed. We

knew about these type of very recently due to advancement of medical technology. But who can

clearly state it in Quran 14th century ago? Answer, Allah only. (4th proof).

5. "We cause whom We willto rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you

out as babes)"

Yes not all fetus born. Some are aborted (abortion) and Others come out as babes. (5th proof)

6."then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength"

Yes we are fostered by our parents passionately. Allah provids devine love on their heart for us.

Without love of our parents or who care us, it is impossible for us to reach at out age of full

strength. (6th proof)


13/16

7. "and some ofyou are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they

know nothing after having known (much), and (further)",

Many of us die at any stage of our life cycle but some reach at one stage of life when they forget

manything (elderly) (Memory loss occurat that stage. (7th proof)

8. "thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to

life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)".

When rain wateris put onbarren lands, lives (trees) automatically come out from it. One

example of dead soil is "bricks" but due to rain waterfungi or other green life come out from it.

How can it occur? It was burn at 1000 degree F,but DNA of Fungi or other green grasses are yet

to remain on them. When, those DNAs got proper medium, those alive. (8th proof)

9. "This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who

has power over all things".

Though above mentioned points are the truth, Allah also is the truth. In this process, Allah will

alive whom, who are death. Allah has power over all things. (9th proof)

10. "And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about (the fact) that Allah

will raise up all who are in the graves"

Surely one day this world will damaged. Allah will recreate this world. Then everyone graves

will come up. What does happen in graves? Our bodies mixed with soil from where we firstly

created. What is remain of us at soil. That is our DNA. For example, we do DNA test of

thousand years' old bones what we find out due to archeological researh. That means DNA does

not spoil even though we die.

If I ask you, is it impossible for Allah to make us again from our DNA mixed at soil? Answer,

No, it is likely possible, because trees also come out from their DNA.


14/16

Suppose, Allah makes the earth's environment as like as the environment of mother's womb.

Then we all will automatically come out together from soils.

Another place of holy Quran (I cannot remember the reference now), Allah says, "Creation of all

human beings are as easier as He create a single human being" "When he wants to do

something, He just says "Be" and "It is". (Final proof)

(Offcurse we will be raised up again)

11. Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, without Knowledge, without

Guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment,-

Yes it truly says, after seeing this proof, many people will not believe on Allah and on his

revilation holy Quran and on his last Messenger Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). That is another

proof.

Thanks to my Lord who has given me to read and to study on his Final Testament. In this way he

is teaching us, he is knowing us all the truths from 1st day of creation to last day to eternal lifewith clear pices of evidence.

Lastly I am stating one verse for Holy Quran:

And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving the previous

Books. So judge between them by what God has sent down and do not follow their whims and

desires, deviating from the Truth that has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice

for every one of you. Had God willed, He would have made you a single community. But He

wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with each other in doing good.


15/16

Every one of you will return to God, and He will inform you regarding the things about which

you differed.(Surat al-Ma'ida 5: 48)

God (Allah) has divided us into many group as if to test us: For example

1. for me: what am I doing after accepting the truth? What am I doing to spread the messages of

truth?

2. for you: After showing you clear pieces of evidences, are you accepting or rejecting the truths?

Please do not say anything about Allah, in which you have no clear proof or evidences. Do

not belief on what people say, look on the books and confirm the truths about Allah.

Otherwise you will be punished at the Day of Judgment. As Allah said at the starting of

those verses:

And yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah, without knowledge, and follow every

evil one obstinate in rebellion! About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for

friendship, him will he lead astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire. (Al-Quran

22:3-4)

Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted

through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is

Exalted in Power, Wise.(sign of pain receptor at skin) (Al-Quran 4:56)

I am inviting you to read holy Quran at least ones. As Allah has made it easy to understand:

But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that

will receive admonition? (Al-Quran 54:22)


16/16

There is no discrepancy at Quran:

Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would

surely have found therein Much discrepancy. (Al-Quran 4:82)

Conclusion:

In my working experiences, I have found people with spinal cord injury who have lost their four limbs

but they are still not hopeless as they had strong belief to regain everything in hereafter. They are

engaged in extreme point of their life, yet they are maintaining a productive life. Believing of Life after

death is also a motivating tool for the rehabilitation of the people with disability for engaging them in

meaningful occupation. But if we want to apply it at our clinical setting we need clear pieces of

evidence. To understand life after death, we have to understand our creation and also we have read

Holy Scripture carefully. Hope this article will be helpful to understand the concepts of life after death.

Furthermore, we need more scientific investigation on our DNA after death. That might provide us

more clear proof life after death. Therefore, we can apply this concept more widely for the beneficence

of human being. If all people are certain about life after death, the straight way to get eternal life after

death and the purposes of this life, sure they will not be hopeless at any situation of his/her life.
