[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To each according to his faith (or something to that effect). I have a gut feeling each person will get the afterlife (or lack of thereof) he or she expects. [/quote]

I hadn't thought of it like this before, but the afterlife he or she expects. Hmm. That is something to think about![/quote]

I wouldn't waste to much time on it.  Think instead of other instances in life where just expecting something to happen actually caused it to happen.  Also, think about what that would mean on an individual basis --e.g., one person expects 72 virgins, another expects to be surrounded by angels sitting  clouds playing harps, another expects an eternity at the racetrack with winning bets, another expects to be with deceased relatives.  Is that what God(or some extraterrestrial force) is setting up for us?[/quote]

pp here. I'm thinking more basically, for those who believe in an afterlife there will be one and for those who expect nothingness, that's what will await. It makes sense to me.[/quote]

Where in any holy book are 72 virgins mentioned. Citation please.[/quote]

- Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal , Sunan al-Tirmidhi

I hope he intercedes for his wife if she's still alive. It's only fair considering he'll be with 72 virgins.

[quote]“For the Shahid in the Divine presence there will be six qualities: [1] he will be forgiven from the first moment his blood is spilled; [2] he shall see his seat in Paradise and be protected against the punishment of the grave; [3] he shall be safe from the Greatest Terror [the rising of the dead]; [4] he shall be crowned with the diadem of dignity, one ruby of which is worth more than the entire world and its contents; [5] he shall be coupled with seventy-two spouses from the wide-eyed maidens of Paradise; and [6] he shall be granted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”[/quote][/quote]
