The man is working and sowing seeds.
After some time, his land will become green and lush.
What will this man reap in summer?
Whatever good is done receives a good result.
Allah loves those who do good.
This man doesn't work and doesn't sow a thing.
What will he reap in summer?
Will his land become green and lush?
Allah does not like those who don't do good.

The Hereafter

            People are in two groups:
            One group is religious and does good. The other group has on religion and does bad. Are these two groups equal? Are people who do good and people, do bad the same to Allah? Do those who do good receive no reward? Do those who do bad receive no punishment? Never!
            Allah tells us: "People who do good and people who do bad are not the same to me. I give a beautiful reward to those who do good, but I punish those who do bad."
            Yes, Almighty Allah has another world that is called the Hereafter. When a person dies, he goes to that world. If we do good and act according to the Divine instructions, we will be rewarded in the Hereafter and will live in perfect bliss and felicity in Paradise.
            But if we are irreligious and do bad and don't follow Allah's instructions, we will receive punishment for our bad deeds and have a bad and difficult life in the Hereafter.
            Allah give s those who do good a beautiful reward an those who do bad a terrible chastisement.

            The Prophets are great men whom Allah has specially selected.
            The Prophets deliver the message of Allah to the people and teach them the best lessons, which the people need both for this world and for the Hereafter, and they guide the people to the best kind of life.
            Who taught the Prophets these lessons?
            Allah taught the Prophets these lessons. He has told them to command the people to do good and refrain from doing bad, so as to live in happiness and ease in this world and in the next.
            The Prophets invite the people to worship the One; Merciful Allah and to do good deeds. The Prophets tell the people:
"Be kind with each other, love those who are Allah's friends and be enemies to those who are the enemies of Allah. Fight the oppressor and help the oppressed."
            The Prophets are the leaders and guides of humanity. How could the people find the right path of life if thy didn't have a leader and a guide?

            One Prophet, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A), is the last of Allah's Prophet, He was born in the town of Meccah, in Arabia. He lived amongst the people there for forty years, and when he was forty years old, Allah chose him to be His Prophet. Allah showed him the road of true happiness in life and commanded him to be the peoples' guide. for three years he called the people to Islam in secret. After those three years, Allah told him to manifest his mission.
            The Holy Prophet stood on a large boulder. He called the people. The people recognised him. They ran and gathered around him. He wanted to speak to the people and give them the good tidings.
            "O People," he cried." I am Allah's Prophet. I am your guide, of the lost. I have brought the most wonderful presents for you.
            "I have brought a message for you from Allah: believe in the God and find real and lasting happiness. Say: 'Laiaha illallah.' Say: 'There is on god but Allah' and save yourselves from a baseness and delusion."

            Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate, hes sent instruction for our happiness. His guidance and instru:tions were brought to us by the prophets.
            Prophets have shown us the way to knowledge of Allah and of the best way of living.
            The Prophets have told us:
           * How to behave with our friends.
           * How to respect our mother and father.
           * How to thank our teacher.
           The Prophets have told us:
           * How to beseech Allah the Merciful and Kind.
           * What deeds to perform for Allah to be pleased with us.
           * What things we need for our future in the Hereafter.
           What is Religion?
            The intructions and programmes that the Prophets have brought for our lives are called "religion".
           Who is religious?
            A person who believes in God and in the Hereafter, and who follows the instrutions of the Prophet, is "religious".
            Allah loves religious people and gives them a good reward. People who are religious live well in this world, and will be blessed in the hereafter too.

            Allah sent many Prophets to guide the people, and the greatest of them are these five:

            The Prophet Nuh, alayhis-salam*1
            The Prophet Ibrahim, alayhis-salam
            The Prophet Musa, alayhis-salam
            The Prophet 'Isa, alayhis-salam
            The Prophet Muhammad, Sallahllahu alayhi wa alih*2
            The followers of Musa are called Jews.
            The followers of 'Isa are called Christians.
            The follwers of Muhammad are called Muslims.

            All the Prophets were form Allah and we respect all of them. Off all the Prophets, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A) was the greatest and the best. The Holy Prophet Muhammad was the last Prophet, and after him there is no other Prophet.

            *1 Alayhis-salam means "upon him be peace" and we say if after the names of the Holy Prophets and Imams. Sometimes we write (A.S) instead.
            *2 Sallallahu alayhi wa alih means "Allah bless him and his House," and we say this after we say the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. Sometimes we write(S.A) instead.
