Comparison of the "encouragement and threats" of the Qur'an and the Bible in the doctrine of the afterlife

Death and life after it has always been one of the most important concerns of man and has affected his life. In the Abrahamic religions, too, the teachings of death and resurrection are among the most widely taught in the Scriptures.There are many verses in the Holy Qur'an as the holy text of Muslims and the Bible as the holy book of Christians (the first part of which is also considered sacred by the Jews with a slight difference) that deals with the teaching of the resurrection. Regardless of the differences between the two books on the subject of the apocalypse, their methods of teaching this doctrine can be important. The apocalypse in Christian literature focuses more on the return of Jesus Christ and what will happen at that time; While the resurrection in the Holy Quran focuses on death and life after it.This article has tried to use the method of comparative studies and with a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the encouragement and threats of these two books in teaching the doctrine of life after death.The findings of this study show that in both books, posthumous events are considered as a guarantee of morality and law. For this reason, encouragement and threat, as well as intimidation are the most important methods of these two books for teaching the doctrine of resurrection. Although in the Bible, and especially in the Old Testament, these guarantees are more of this world, but in the Holy Qur'an, they refer more to another world.
