Abstract

The Hereafter is one of the important issues that the Qur'an has dealt with after monotheism. Belief in the Hereafter and the eternal world is an innate thing that God has placed in the human nature, and believing in it affects all aspects of human life. Such a belief leads to a correct knowledge of the world and as a result, it provides the context for the maximum use of the capacities of this worldly life to reach the superior life of the Hereafter. Belief in the existence of the afterlife (the eternal world in which man is rewarded and punished for his worldly deeds) modulates natural instincts and curbs sensual outbursts. In addition, it empowers the motivation of the believer in jihad in the way of God to stand up for his life in defense of transcendental beliefs and values. The verses of the Qur'an have considered jihad in the way of God with life and property as the means of true faith in God and the Day of Resurrection, and have spoken many times about the believers who, believing in it, spend their lives and property in the way of God and go through hardships and sufferings. The current paper aims to answer the question of what role, in the view of the Holy Qur'an, the Hereafter plays in strengthening the resistance and tolerance against the onslaught of the oppressors. In addition, through the descriptive-analytical method and by collecting data with reference to interpretive sources, it has dealt with the effect of the belief in the Hereafter on the insight, motivation, and action of believers in the realm of Islamic resistance.
