Judaísmo e islam; la muerte y sus perspectivas

Abstract

The perspective of life beyond death is a postulation that is commonly made from human reason, since everything that concerns the features that characterize religious postulates is studied. Now, death as part of human realities and even more, from the awareness of a transmigration, represents in part the repercussion obtained from the vision that Judaism has; with its reflection on death as part of life, as well as the varied perspectives on the afterlife and the emphasis on the actions of man. Islam, on the other hand, treats death as a step towards the eternal, judgment and reward and emphasizes community and duty. Likewise, Christianity manifests death in its passage through the life of the human being, in the perspective of sin, redemption through Christ and the conception of heaven, hell and justification. Therefore, the proposal is to put in dialogue these religious expressions to induce reflections that enrich the belief about death in its less superficial sense. Hence, the panorama is diversified and strengthened by dialectical hermeneutics to sustain death as a natural, essential concern, centered on the present life.
