Abstract

One of the fundamental tenets of Islam is the belief in life after death, which is shared by all faiths and belief systems accepting the Creator. In Islam, the belief in the hereafter plays a significant role in maintaining communal harmony as well as controlling life. As a result, belief in the afterlife, which serves a function in worldly life, accomplishes the task of instilling a sense of responsibility and moral values in people whose purpose in life is to serve God, pass moral tests, and build a network of relationship based on moral rules on Earth. This can only be achieved by fulfilling the role of believing in the hereafter in this world. Because it deals with the existence of humans, life after death has therefore been a topic of discussion in both religion and philosopy and has occupied the agendas of theologians and philosophers throughout history. Plato was the first significan philosopher in Western thought who methodically addressed the immortality of the soul, and his views on the immortality of the soul influenced the philosophers after him. Belief in the afterlife has been central to Islamic philosophy, and several arguments for its need and plausibility have been established within philosophical frameworks. This study explores the question of whether one of the major Islamic thinkers, Aviccena’s intellectual theory provides support for the belief in an afterlife. The primary justifications Aviccena employed to support his belief in the afterlife are assessed in the study. The essay also emphasizes how Aviccena was influenced from pre-Islamic philosophy and how his legacy influenced philosophers after him.
