akhirah

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

akhirah

In Islam, life after death. Muslims believe that people need to follow God's teachings of respect, honesty, and kindness to others, and after death they will be judged by their actions. God will forgive those who ask for it, and choose to lead a good life. Beyond death it is too late for forgiveness; those whose actions were sinful will go to hell (Jahannam), while the good will go to paradise (Jannah).
