Islamic Eschatology: Death to the Day of Judgment

532 students

Islamic Eschatology is an online course which deals with the theological questions surrounding death and the hereafter. Throughout history, human beings have debated the issue of human immortality. In fact, even those who affirm a life after death admit that the nature and detail of that existence remains a mystery, largely because no one has ever returned to tell us about it.  The objective of this module is to deepen our understanding of the reality of death and the journey of the human soul as it departs from this earthly life and enters into a new realm of existence. Through careful analysis of the relevant Quranic verses and hadith references, students will begin to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding this inevitable journey.
