My research topic is titled ‘The Afterlife: The Perspective from Different Religions’. What is the concept of the afterlife? What is the afterlife? These are the questions that may come up in one’s mind every now and then; however, this worry may not concern some people because they believe that there is no life after death. My culture and values believe in ‘the great beyond’ and also as Johnson points out in Walters (2005) interview "Heaven doesn't exist, hell doesn't exist.

When the Day of Judgment arrives, each person will stand before God and will be questioned regarding their deeds and actions they were held responsible for on earth. This will assess the decision of heaven or hell made by God. This is specifically explained in the Holy Qu’ran. “Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand; he will be judged with an easy account…But as for he who is given his record behind his back; He will cry out for destruction.” (Qur’an 84: 7-8,
