Islam always comes back to the submission of Allah
Prof that Allah had revealed scriptures containing the same monotheistic message to different people
Surah 2:135 - “ be Jews or Christian’s you will be guided” “ rather the religion of Abraham inclining towards truth, and he was not of the polytheistic”
Analyze the statement - prophets are the chosen ones and are infallible
Chosen ones = they are to be the best examples of humanity
Infallible= they cannot sin
People who followed prophets are what and give proof
Rightly guided
Surah 2:137 “ so if they believe….. hearing the knowing”

Death = soul is taken by he a doe of death
Questing = Allah sends two andles to question the person in their behavior
Wait = wait in grave till Allah decides in the day of judgment
If questions are answered good they wait peicfully if not they are tormented by angles
The day of judgment
Each person is judged by Allah

Each person will be judged fairly and get the life they deserve

Is you go to jahannam do you stay
No Allah may show mercy and send you to jannah if he thinks you’ve paid enough for your sins
