People Of The Sacred Books : Islam -After death

The Quran says:
“By the snorting war steeds which strike fire withdrew hoofs, as they gallop

to the raise at dawn, and with a trait of dust split apart a massed army: man is ungrateful to his Lord! To thi he himself shall bear witness. “And truly on account of his
love of wealth he is niggardly. Is he not aware tha when the dead are thrown out from their graves and men’s hidden thoughts are laid open, their Lord wil on that day have full knowledge of them all? (100:1
The horse is an extremely faithful animal. It sacrific es itself to the uttermost for its master, even at the cos of its life. It expresses symbolically what man should be like, ie, that he should have faith in his Lord, jus as the horse trusts its master. But in practice this doe not happen.
In this world an animal is grateful to its master, bu man is not grateful to his Lord. Here an animal recog nizes its dues to its master, but man does not do so in regard to his Lord. Here an animal is engaged devot edly in serving its master. But this is not the case with man. Man values only that animal which is faithfu to him. Then how can he fail to understand that only those will have value and importance in the eyes o God (in the Hereafter) who have proved themselve His faithful servants? It is a sad fact that love of mone turns people blind, so that they fail to understand a reality already experienced in their immediate sur roundings. This state of affairs is not going to last Death must come, reminding man that he is totally in the grip of God. Death, in actual fact, is an entrance to the next world of reckoning. There man has to appear before a divine court, where no human act is hidden from the divine eye.
