CPT: World of the Unseen
A journey from the life of this world to the life of the Hereafter. Learn about the signs of the last hour, the inevitable death we all face and the transition from this world to the hereafter.
After you leave this world, you will enter another. A world you cannot see and yet it is a fundamental part of our belief. How can you begin to imagine this world? In this course you will learn about how Allah and then our Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa-sallam) describes the sequence of events beginning from the signs of the Hour, the Day of Judgement and all that occurs up until we enter upon our final destination either in the terrible torments of the Hellfire or the everlasting pleasures of Paradise.
And who believe in what has been sent down to you (Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa-sallam and in [the Books] what was sent down before you and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. Surat al-Baqarah, 2:4
