Damn...I was searching for this answer too...about 3 years ago...and read it somewhere in an islamic book...yes infants do go straight to heaven if they pass away...thats because their soul is still unconscience...they do not understand what they are doing...cannot differentiate between right and wrong...I think that was it...

Others and parents were there before we born. God created each one in a special way (unique) not identical with high value in the womb and brought out depends upon His will and upon the generation gene.  After death, there is a life and it is not earthly, but heavenly, but this will occur on the God's day, until then all souls will be in a place particular for their action on earth.  Souls will join with its destination depending upon the actions.  This was told in Bible .  If you believe it will happen to you and you have to follow the rules of life in the Bible.  No rebirth according to bible.  If a person dies and rebirth again, population  will not increase.

Children who die will go to Heaven. Every child born knows God at their first breath.  Read John 1.\n\nAlso, I believe every ones name is written in the Lamb's book of Life at the foundation. It is written that hell was made for the Devil and His angels.   When one isn't taught who God is they are judged according to land laws and conscience.  Creation itself reveals who it's Creator is.\n\nThe choice to love God or reject God comes when a person hears the salvation message.  Upon continual rejection & rebellion of God, a person may get their name blotted out of the Lamb's book of life.  Upon Accepting God and His salvation plan through the Lamb of God, one gets Spiritually born and everlasting life.

I'm a muslim, a convert from Christianity (20 years ago). Christians believe that Jesus (PBUH) died by crucifixion & then was raised into heaven.\nMuslims of course believe that he was NOT crucifed, but a look-alike was put in his place & Jesus (PBUH) was taken up to Heaven by Allah (God).

well their are two possible death and the bible says that after your first death you are judge based on if you accept or rejected Jesus and not living for him is rejecting him and then if you fail the judgment your soul is sent to hell which is a second death and you suffer for eternity but if you chose the right path then you get to spend the rest of eternity in a palace and there will only be joy

According 2 the Islamic teachings there 'll be a life after death & it 's & 'll be just like the life of this world except that it's an enduring life.Life afer death starts 4 everyone after their buriels 've been completed & people buring them vanish away from the grave.It starts 4 evereyone as they 'll be treated according 2 their actions/deeds & when the day of gudgement comes our actions or deeds 'll decide our destiny.Coz there 'll be only 2 paths 4 the people.Those pleased with God the Almighty 'll be rewarded 4 their good deeds with Jannats/paradise/green gardens full of life.With no sickness or growing old, while those unpleased with God 'll go 2 Jahannam/Hellfire.May the Good Lord guide & save us all from it.

Like the others, I'm not sure what is behind this question, but just in case you are someone really searching for Truth, I better tell you.  To die after saying that you trust Jesus, and would like Him to rule your life, isn't really dying.  More like you get to have an eternal new body and sing praise to God for eternity.  To die as a Muslim means that you rejected the gift that God has given you -freedom from punishment because Jesus (God's only son) was sacrificed for all sins- and therefore, would not be happy praising Jesus for all eternity.  You would go to hell.  God is so just that even though it saddens Him to see just one of His children go to Hell, He would not make people do something that they don't want to do.  \n\nSo if you are choosing a religion, then I would advise you to throw religion to the wind.  Forget rituals, etc, but focus on a personal relationship with Jesus.  Let Him become your best friend- always there.  Read a Bible daily, and start going to a Biblical church.  Ask questions.  If you seek, you will find.  I've already been praying for you.

It all depends on the way you think and your opinions/religion. Maybe, you do go to Heaven, and continue life there. Maybe, you come back into life as a different creature. Maybe, the thoughts and soul become non-existent.\nNobody knows the answer to this question because after a person "kicks the bucket" they cannot communicate with us again (or so it is thought...?) So the living will probably never know.

Yes,Of course! According to various religious beliefs, there is definitely a new life after death. The bodies, after death, will be disposed off, but the life in the body, that is the soul, will be born again in another form, either as an animal or a human being again!. there are various instances wherein,some children have spoken of their earlier life with details,as to what he/she was in the previous birth, the location, parents, aquiatances, etc. On physical verification by impartial bodies, these have been found fully factual, and correct.

Look at the bright side.\n\nAt least they are in heaven.\n\nOk. \n\nGod allowed such killing because its a consequence of their own acts. In accordance to free will.\n\nAsking the "why" dosent change anything.\n\nEven today, children die in many ways regardless of wether we know "why" or NOT.\n\nNO other religion too can explain why children die of murder, disastors, etc for certain. Thus, lets judge the "why" after we see the "whole picture" in the afterlife.\n\nI assure you, there, you wont be feeling "why" any more.\n\nWe can ask God one day.

Yes, there is a way to Heaven......Jesus Christ who died for our sins, is the way, Truth and Life. Whosoever believes in the Son have the eternal life.... and these who confesses Jesus Christ as the Lord and to repent from sins....are the ones taht will sit with God in His kingdom-Heaven...

This is a pretty difficult question to answer.  \n\nAt death the body and soul are separated.  Those who will spend eternity in Hell seem to go to a type of waiting area.  Those who will spend eternity go to a similar waiting area - called Abraham's bosom at times - also called paradise.\n\nUpon the return of Jesus we will be given a body once again (the final resurrection) and the Sheep will spend eternity with God and the goats will spend eternity in Hell.

"imaginary thinking" ?... what if you foud out that this "imaginary thinking" is actually for real. if you don't believe in our faith, then there is no way for you to believe. \n\nto answer your question :\n\n I know you don't believe in Islam, but read anyway what will happen. \n\nyou will wait in the life of death called (Al-borzokh) which refer to your grave. until the day that God has promised (day of judgement). you either will be torture in the grave, or it becomes like a piece of heaven. every soul will return back to its body in the day of judgment, and then God will have the final word of whom go to heaven or Hell.\n\nhere is what Islam says when someone dies:\n------------------------------...\nlet's assume he is a true believer (worship God alone and did good duties toward his lord).\n\nwhen death comes to a person, and he became between life and death. Angels come down to him setting themselves far from his vision, their face are like the sun and in good looking holding his coffen. then the Angel of death arrive (Azraeal) and it said to him\n\n"[27]O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction!"\n"[28] "Come back to your Lord well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing (unto Him)!\n[29] "Enter you then among My (honored) slaves, \n[30] "And enter you My Paradise!" \n\nQuran ch89\n\nthen the Angel of death (Azreal) pull his soul out like a drop of water, easy and gentel. the soul of the believer smells so beautiful. the angels carry him toward the heaven. everytime the angels pass a heaven (there are seven heavens) whoever in this heaven get amuesed of his beautiful smell. until they reach him to the last heaven. then God says Put my slave down until the day i have promised (or when the day of judgement starts). \n\nthe angels take the soul of the believer and return him to the life of death called "Al-borzokh". then the two Angels called Nakir and Nakier. well come to him to question him and test his believes. Muhammad(S) describes their voice like thunder. \n\nthe first main question will be repeated over and over: 1)Who is your GOD? 2)what is your religion? 3)who is your prophet?\n\nif he pass the test, a caller will say, this slave is honest! then His grave will be open widly and become a peace of heaven. then he sees his position in paradise and his position in Hell (if he was the other way around). \n\nhe remain there until the day of judgement starts and every soul return back to its body. God has the final word of whom go to paradise and whom go to Hell. \n\nthere are more, and that's just short information \n\nbut for unbeliever or bad person. it's the way around. and it's kinda scary end.

as long as the mother is alive, the baby will continue to develop.  they will put a feeding tube in the mother and feed her to give the baby nourishment so it will grow. when it reaches full term, they usually do a Cesarean section and take the baby out.  There was a woman who had a baby in the paper just the other day.  She had been in a coma also and the father took the baby home with him.  I don't know what they did with the mother after that.  They did not do a follow up story either about how they were doing but that would be a really hard thing to have to watch happen to one of your loved ones.....

DONT LISTEN!\n\nit is NOT  a tenet of the muslim faith that they have to kill an infidel (non-christian) to get into heaven. i am a christian that has studid the muslim faith, and it definatly does not teach that anywhere in the Koran.\n\nthe koran does say that if they die as a marytr for Allah the automatically get into heaven, and they will have a 'preferred treatment' of sorts there.\n\nit is the modern extremist teachings that have equated martyrdom with acts of murder.\n\ni hope this helps you bro. i would like to encourage you to reasearch these sorts or spiritual question for yourself. there is nothing wrong with a christian reading the koran, or tanakh, or whatever. how can you beleive in anything if you dont know what you do not beleieve.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. (Hebrews9:27)\n\nAfter death you will be judged , at that judgement God is going to want to know 1 thing and 1 thing only: What did you do with my son, reject Him or accept Him as your savior? Those found guilty of rejecting Jesus Christ will be found guilty of all thier sins and will have to be cut off from God forever in hell for eternity, the accepted in Christ with live with God forever

Nope, everyone dies.\n\nIf you're talking about life after death, than I guess it depends on what you believe.
