Can Deists Deny the Hereafter?
The ninth lesson and we turn to another deist:
- Is the God in whom you believed just or unjust?
I think you don't believe in a cruel god and accept that the creator is just.
Indeed, our creator is extremely just. However, we see that man cannot reach the truth of this justice in the mortal world. In this world, the oppressor lives in honor, and the oppressed lives in humiliation. However, true justice wants the oppressed to be compensated and the oppressor to be punished. For this to happen, the end must come. If there is no end, there will be no justice. Our righteous Lord will never allow such injustice.
Therefore, belief in God's justice requires belief in the existence of the hereafter. If there is an afterlife, prophets must come and heavenly books must be revealed. After all, only the prophets tell what is meritorious and what is sinful. In their absence, heavenly books teach. Indeed, if the deists accept the hereafter, they deny the hereafter because they are forced to accept the prophets and heavenly books.
The conclusion is this: God is just, and his justice requires the existence of the hereafter. And the existence of the hereafter requires prophets and books to teach us about the next world and actions that lead to happiness in the eternal world. So we can say that:
* He who cannot deny Allah cannot deny His justice. Because Allah is Allah and He is certainly just, oppression does not befit Him.
* He who cannot deny the justice of God cannot deny the hereafter. After all, God will take the right of the oppressed from the oppressor if he is just. If you don't get it literally in this world, you will definitely get it in another world. The name of that world is the land of the hereafter.
* He who cannot deny the hereafter cannot deny the prophets and heavenly books. After all, as long as there is an afterlife, there must be prophets and books in it. So that he can introduce us to the world, warn us and let us know what is possible and what is not possible. Therefore, the existence of prophets is as clear as the existence of God and his justice.

Our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "I was victorious against the enemy with the help of fear!" Even if there is a month's journey between me and them, their hearts will be filled with fear." Our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said these words in the place where he said: "I have been given five things that were not given to previous prophets." If we think carefully, we can say that these five qualities were also given to his ummah thanks to our Prophet, peace be upon him.
