Rozumienie życia doczesnego i śmierci w źródłach islamskich - Korani i Hadisach
Understanding Life and Death in Islamic Scriptures: the Koran and the Hadith

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is the analysis of the foundations of Islamic eschatology and soteriology, and in particular the understanding of life and death in the Koran and the Hadith. Islamic source texts define God as the Creator of the world and the Lord of all creation, which implies absolute faith in humanity’s total dependence on the Almighty. According to the teachings of Islam, humans are primarily subjects of moral actions. As a result, they will be judged on the basis of the choices made during their lifetime, which is understood as the transient trial period. Humans who satisfy God’s wishes will be rewarded with eternal life in the heavenly gardens, while those who fail to comply with the Almighty’s commands will be subject to damnation.
