فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا " So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone." [18.1] Occasion of revelation : A man came to the Prophet and said: "I give charity/alms and connect with my relatives ,and it do it only to please God but when people speak of my work and I would be happy because of their praise."The Prophet was silent then the above verse was revealed. Reason of revelation clearly shows sincerity is the foundation of worship and good deeds and there is relation between pure intention and ostentation(Rya) In fact, faith in the Resurrection has two effects, one good deeds and sincerity in practice and believe in meeting of Allah motivates good deeds and Full sincerity . question:Some of the charity organizations help the poor people, and we know that they deny resurrection because they are atheists,therefore, we can do good deeds without believing in resurrection .How do you explain their actions ? Answer:Yes, you're right atheist people are doing good deeds ,but their intent is to promote themselves or acquire reputation or satisfying sense of compassion which is an instinctive sense.But this verse says that doing good deeds with the intention of pleasing God is possible in faith in Resurrection and sort of intention has great role in in human perfection.

Belief in resurrection as a great evolution in the spirit and ideas of human the pressures that comes through on her responsibilities will not be suffering, and believer stands to events and does not surrender to the injustices . The Qur'an tells the story of a group from the Israelites with "Saul" (commander of the army of Allah) to fight against the "Goliath" which was the king, were sent to the battlefield. But after a try only a minority were ready to fight. The minorities were divided into two groups; some were caught in fear and said: "Today, we do not have the strength to fight Goliath and his host. But against this group, those who had faith in the Day of Resurrection, warned others that should not looked at the "quantity" of the crowd, but also the "quality" should be considered, because They trust to God and said: How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah’s will!" (2.249)",and finally won. فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ وَجُنُودِهِ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو اللَّـهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ﴿٢٤٩﴾ وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٥٠﴾طَالُوتُ بِالْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي إِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِهِ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَفَهَزَمُوهُم بِإِذْنِ اللَّـهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُودُ جَالُوتَ وَآتَاهُ اللَّـهُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُ مِمَّا يَشَاءُ As Saul set out with the troops, he said, ‘Allah will test you with a stream: anyone who drinks from it will not belong to me, but those who do not drink from it will belong to me, barring someone who draws a scoop with his hand.’ But they drank from it, [all] except a few of them. So when he crossed it along with the faithful who were with him, they said, ‘We have no strength today against Goliath and his troops.’ Those who were certain that they would encounter Allah said, ‘How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah’s will! And Allah is with the patient.’*So when they marched out for [encounter with] Goliath and his troops, they said, ‘Our Lord, pour patience upon us, make our feet steady, and assist us against the faithless lot.’*Thus they routed them with Allah’s will, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom and taught him whatever He liked.(2.249 to 251)

God is wise existence who does not oppress any of creation .This world is full of oppression and justice in this world do not ru. In this world injustice and discrimination is widespread and don not reach people to their rights Allah wise and justice on day of Judgment runs to reach anyone in his/her right and wrong doers be punished .Suppose ,sin opportunity for someone is be provided and he ignores to commit and does not commit the sin and person guilt position is not provided for him, but applies all his attempts to commit the sin .Do you think they are same?

Theory of Reincarnation – Satanic Trap How many humans have been led astray by the theory of reincarnation? This theory is logically inconsistent and flawed from every angle that you observe it. It does not provide the necessary motivation to do good and it does not encourage sympathy with fellow human beings. This fanciful theory, which emerged many centuries ago, was invented by oppressive high ruling class in order to further their control and oppress the weak and deprived. It was gradually imposed on the poor masses and turned into a religious belief. The followers of this theory believe that the soul returns again and again with the purpose of correcting its deficiencies and perfecting it towards achieving the greatest human qualities.

I can see a constant increase in the numbers of people converting to Shi'sm and I sometimes tend to wonder if this is good or bad. What do our books say about the days before Imam Mahdi (as) re-appears? I know that destruction will avail throughout the Middle-East if not the whole world. But, do we have anything mentioning whether people will come towards the religion of Ahl-alBayt or will instead start to stray away from it? Will Imam Mahdi (as) appear when he has gained a massive following (Shi'a) or will he appear when everyone is starting to lose their Iman?

(bismillah) (salam) There is something that has been making me wonder for quite a bit. Often the Quran uses rational arguments to prove basic doctrines like God's Oneness...and divine justice. For the latter the Quran makes many statements like "can those who believe and do good be like the corrupt, they will not be held alike, equal are not the bad and the good etc.". Besides this it advances an argument to show how life continues after death (if there is to be a chance at all for divine justice). But then the issue of resurrection comes up. Can't our immaterial spirit alone be punished/rewarded without the need for resurrection? Is there a rational argument that shows the necessity for Judgement Day or do we depend on divine revelation alone for this belief? Many thanks (wasalam)
