Description
Summary:Death in Islam is an unavoidable phenomenon, and Muslims believe that after it man goes, depending on his actions on earth, to paradise or to hell. However, the problem of whether paradise and salvation belongs only to Muslims, or whether representatives of other religions can also achieve it, is ambiguous in Muslim theology. For centuries, various trends in Muslim theology and philosophy have expressed different opinions on this issue, based on the Qur’an - the Holy Book of Muslims, and hadiths. Overall, however, the opinion in which salvation is limited only to orthodox Muslims is prevailing. The article discusses the theological foundations of salvation in the Qur’an and the Sunna, opinions of Muslim kalam, or medieval speculative theology, as well as the contemporary position of Muslim modernists and fundamentalists.
