Özet:

 The word afterlife ahiret is one of the basic concepts of the Quran. In addition to its earthly meaning, it stands out with its otherworldly and faith-related meanings. In the Quran, the word âhiret is used as an adjective to the word al-yawm in 116 places in the form of feminine āhirat-آخرة and in twenty-six places in the form of masculine āhir-الاخر. The Quran uses words synonymous with the afterlife as well as words that are antonyms. The Afterlife is an eternal and everlasting life that begins with death in the sense of the next world. It is a life in which people will be asked about their words and sorrows in this world and will be rewarded. The Afterlife is a world with different stages, conditions and characteristics. The Afterlife consists of the stages of death, the berzāh, the doomsday, gathering-humsunny, the judgment, the account, the queue, and heaven and hell. The Hereafter is a realm where peoples words and deeds in this world will be questioned and those with faith and good deeds will be rewarded paradise and those with disbelief and bad deeds will be punished hell. The Quran has dealt with the Afterlife as a principle of faith, mainly in conjunction with the principle of faith in God. Belief in the Afterlife is a matter of the unseen. In addition to the principle of faith, the Quran has also addressed this issue on a rational basis through some natural phenomena in the world.

 Âhiret kelimesi, Kuranın temel kavramlarından biridir. Dünyevi anlam boyutu yanında, öteki dünya ve inanca yönelik anlamları ile öne çıkmaktadır. Âhiret kelimesi Kuranda 116 yerde müennes âhiret آخرة formunda yirmi altı yerde ise müzekker âhir الاخر formunda el-yevm kelimesine sıfat olarak kullanılmıştır. Kuranda âhiret ile eşanlamlı olan kelimelerin yanı sıra zıt anlamlı olan kelimelerde kullanılmıştır. Âhiret, öteki dünya anlamında ölümle başlayan sonsuz ve ebedî bir hayattır. İnsanın dünyadaki söz ve elemlerinin sorulacağı ve karşılık bulacağı bir hayattır. Âhiret, farklı evreleri olan, şartları ve özellikleri ile dünyadan farklı bir âlemdir. Âhiret; ölüm, berzâh, kıyâmet, haşr-mahşer, hesap, sırat, cennet-cehennem aşamalarından oluşur. Âhiret, insanın dünyada söz ve eylemlerinin sorgulanacağı, iman ve iyi amelleri olanın ödül cennet, inkâr ve kötü amelleri olanın ceza göreceği cehennem bir âlemdir. Kuran, âhireti bir iman ilkesi olarak ele almış, ağırlıklı olarak Allaha iman ilkesi ile birlikte konu etmiştir. Âhirete iman, ğaybi bir konudur. Kuran bu konuyu, iman ilkesi yanında dünyada yaşanan bir takım tabiat olayları ile de aklî bir zeminde konu etmiştir.
