This article concerns itself with Jewish , Christian and Islam ic interpretation of the concept of the Resurrection of the dead. Jewish biblical views of the afterlife Most of the and King David . Herbert Brichto notes that it is "not mere sentimental respect for the physical remains that is...the motivation for the practice, but rather an assumed connection between proper sepulture and the condition of happiness of the deceased in the afterlife" Chanon Brichto "Kin, Cult, Land and Afterlife - A Biblical Complex", Hebrew Union College Annual 44, p.8 (1973) The early Israelites apparently believed that the graves of family, or tribe, united into one. This unified collectivity became known as Sheol. Although not well defined in the Tanakh, Sheol was a subterranean underworld where the souls of the dead went after the body died. The Babylonians had a similar underworld called Aralu , and the Greeks had one known as Hades . For biblical references to Sheol see Genesis 42:38, Isaiah 14:11, Psalm 141:7, Daniel 12:2, Proverbs 7:27 and Job 10:21,22, and 17:16, among others. Other Biblical names for Sheol were: Abbadon (ruin), found in Psalm 88:11, Job 28:22 and Proverbs 15:11; Bor (the pit), found in Isaiah 14:15, 24:22, Ezekiel 26:20; and Shakhat (corruption), found in Isaiah 38:17, Ezekiel 28:8. However, there are a few passages in Old Testament that refer to the resurrection of the dead:
The afterlife in the Tanakh See: Christian views of resurrection Most denominations of Christians believe in the concept of Eternal Life after death. It is generally believed that after a person's body dies, their soul still exists forever. The term ''resurection of the dead'' is generally used to refer to the idea that the dead bodies of all humanity will be reformed and rejoined with the soul at the End Of The World . Various Christian sects disagree on the exact nature of the resurrection. Different beliefs concerning the timing
Different beliefs on the method
Different beliefs on the end state of resurrected person
Islamic views on the resurrection According to Islamic beliefs, all humans are resurrected 3 times simultaneously. 1. after the soul is created and the promise is given till to the day of born 2. after earth living till to the death 3. after waking up for the judgement day when everyone is sent to final destination (heaven /hell) ones who believe in Allah and pay for the crimes committed in hell then go to heaven for ever --Humans and other creatures of Allah are then made to account for all their deeds, and their final abode — Jannah or Jahannam — is determined by Allah's Grace and justice during the Islamic Day Of Judgement .-- Resurrection of the dead and mythology Many times elements of religion have a background in mythology. In the case of ''Resurrection of the dead'', there are many who hold to the belief as fact, and see the scriptural account as the basis for this belief, but many do not necessarily regard the account as accurate, as measured by modern standards of history. Some consider the account as purely poetic; but nevertheless a true portrait of humanity's condition. The idea of ''myth'', as used by scholars, does not presume the absence of historical basis. However, the way that the story is told, and the use to which the story is put as an explanation of the way things are, and especially the fact that a very sizeable majority of those who believe the story do not regard it as necessarily historical in order to be true, is a classic use of the Bible as myth (according to the modern scholarly use of the term).
