It is always interesting to learn that even though various religions in different groups and cultures exist, there are (to a certain extent) similarities that we can find. In learning about the basic ideas of death and the afterlife in Islam, we can see that they also believe in the day of judgment, how sinners are punished in hell while the believers or faithful are sent to heaven or paradise, that there is a particular last day that will one day come, and that there is a final resurrection. These beliefs are remarkably similar to the beliefs of Christians about death and the afterlife.
