− "According to Islam, all Prophets are human beings and none bears − superhuman characteristics. Wherever some miracles are attributed to Prophets, which are understood to indicate their superhuman character, the categorical and clear statements of the Qur’an reject such a notion. . . . −. . . No Prophet is granted an exceptionally long term of life which makes him distinctly different and above the brotherhood of Prophets to which he belongs. Nor is any Prophet mentioned as having risen bodily to remote recesses of the universe. Wherever there is such a mention, it is spiritual ascent which is meant, not bodily ascent, which the Qur’an − categorically declares is against the character of Prophets. . . . . . . The emphasis on the human characteristics of Prophets and their human limitations is one of the most beautiful features of fundamental Islamic teachings. Prophets rise above their fellow human beings not − because they were gifted with superhuman qualities, but only because they gave a better account of the qualities that they had been gifted with. They remained human despite having ascended to great spiritual heights, and their conduct as such is inimitable by other human beings. " (An Elementary Study of Islam, pp 26-27) − 5.

It also implies that every human being will be raised after death, and will be held answerable to God with regards to the life he had led here on earth. After belief in One God, belief in the Day of Judgement is the most emphasized doctrine mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. No other revealed − book draws such a vivid picture of Life after Death as does the Holy Qur’an. − According to the Holy Qur’an, the entire universe will come to an − end on the Day of Judgement. The dead will be resurrected and accounts will be taken of their deeds. People with good records will enter into Heaven while those with bad records will be thrown into Hell. According 72
