It is said in the holy book of the Jewish: “Fear God and keep his commandments, for that is the duty of everyone. For God will call all our deeds to judgment, all that is hidden, be good or bad.[1]”
It is also said in the old Testament: “Yahweh gives death and life, bring down to sheol and draws up.[2]”
It is also said in the Bible concerning the day of Judgment:
“Those who did good will come forth to life; and those who did evil will come forth to judgment.[3]”
Even, it is said in Matthew about the physical resurrection:
“You have heard how it was said, You shall not commit adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye should be your downfall, tear it out and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body thrown into hell. And if your right hand should be your downfall, cut it off and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body thrown into hell.[4]”
Meantime, the Islam religion and the holy Quran which has remained safe from deviation have offered complete verses regarding resurrection and the day of judgment as:
“وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ”(حج/7)
“And because the Hour will come, there is no doubt there of; and because Allah will raise those who are in the graves. “(Hajj/7)
Believing this principle is really important to such an extent that is included as one of the principles of the religion of Islam and those who deny it are atheists:
ذَلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالُوا أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًا جَدِيدًا (اسراء/ 98)
“That is their reward because they disbelieved our revelations and said: When we are bones and fragments shall we, forsooth, the raised up as a new creation? [Al-Isra/ 98]”
In Baha’ism, an unprecedented interpretation about resurrection has been offered. According to the forged prophet of Baha’ism cult (concerning the prohibition of interpreting the divine books)[5] the day of judgment has been considered as the emergence of new prophets. As it is said: “According to his words (Ali Muhammad Shirazi), the day of judgment means the emergence of new manifestation of the truth sun. The dead upspring means the awakening of the spiritual soul who have slept in ignorance and astray…[6]”
However, the main aim of Baha’ism that opposes this shared principle of religions is that this cult is irreligious because it is contradictory with believing in God. Apparently, disbelieving in resurrection causes human being to do each actions. In contrast, believing in it causes human being no to be deviated.
