________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailashsagarsuri Gyanmandir Conclusion 803 of the holy spirit and the satanic powers. God gives deliverance or salvation on the day of judgement to the souls on the basis of their morally good actions. The regeneration of the soul is conditioned by the moral nature of the actions of the soul. The souls are morally free, and hence, bear the responsibility of preparing themselves for the final deliverance by means of morally pure and good actions to make themselves worthy of the divine mercy and grace. Islam is a monotheistic religion and God is extremely loving and graceful, according to the Islam. God loves virtue and faith and He admits to His heaven or paradise the believers in Hirn and bestows on them all the pleasures of heaven. On the day of judgement God takes a total stock of the merit and demerit of the souls in their lives on the earth and distributes rewards among them as they deserve. The pious persons are immediately admitted to the paradise and the infidel persons are thrown in the hell fire. The paradise is watered by rivers; its food is perpetual and its shade also. Therein are rivers of incorruptible water and rivers of milk, the taste of which does not change. There are rivers of pleasant wine and of clarified honey, and abundance of fruits of all kinds. The unbelievers, on the contrary, will be thrown in the hell fire and will be subjected to all sorts of tortures Moksa or salvation (najāh or khatas) means not so much escape from the power of sin in this life as escape from its punishment, hereafter. The believers have to observe the prescribed five duties strictly. Islam assures liberation even For Private And Personal
