Abadi Zindagi (Eternal Life), attributed to the teachings and writings of Murtaza Mutahhari, is a profound exploration of the Islamic concept of the Hereafter. In this work, Mutahhari explains the philosophical, ethical, and spiritual foundations of life after death—clarifying why belief in the Hereafter is central to a meaningful human existence.
The book discusses how worldly life is temporary, while the true and everlasting existence begins after death. Mutahhari emphasizes that the soul is immortal and continues its journey toward perfection in the next world. He reflects on Quranic verses and Islamic traditions that describe Barzakh, Resurrection, Judgment, Paradise, and Hell, presenting them in a rational and spiritually uplifting manner.
A key theme of the book is that a proper understanding of the Hereafter transforms a person’s character. When a believer realizes that every action has eternal consequences, it gives rise to responsibility, justice, self-purification, and moral discipline in this life. Mutahhari encourages readers to view the world not as the ultimate destination but as a field of growth where one prepares for the everlasting abode.
Through philosophical clarity and spiritual depth, Abadi Zindagi inspires readers to strengthen their faith, refine their actions, and develop a deeper awareness of their eternal journey.
