Unfortunate people on earth

Mr. Amitabh,

I feel pity and extremely sorry because you are confined under self created capsule of misunderstandings and predetermined mindset about Islam. For people like you, Quran clearly says

[2:16] These are the people who have bought error at the price of guidance; so their trade has brought no gain, nor have they reached the right Path. [2:17] Their situation is like that of a man who kindles a fire, and when it illuminates everything around him, Allah takes away their lights and leaves them in layers of darkness, so that they see nothing [2:18] Deaf, dumb and blind, they shall not return.

Banking on the short span of life and ignoring constant alarms and signals of the agonizing day of Judgment is highly unfortunate.

People here are spending hours and hours on proving Islam as wrong. But if they had properly understood the message of the creator, their approach would have been rather different.

The concept of eternal life after death according to your deeds is the guiding light which can set path for you to save yourself from the sins, crimes and bad deeds. Once you make yourself understand that life would end here and there is no accountability after death, then we you will not hesitate to commit serious crimes. I must say that many people run away after committing murder, terrorism and forgeries etc. and die without being questioned, punished or jailed....If you suppose that there is not any system to punish them according to their deeds, after death, then it is highly unacceptable, Islam guarantees the most unimaginable punishment to those who commit crimes without any fear. Mr. Amitabh I would pray to Lord that on the day of Judgment I may be allowed me to meet you and ask you that why you ignored my friendly advice. The hell fire is very very ugly just think about it!!!
