I never understood the need to have an eternal life. As human beings we are so afraid of dying it astonishes me. This life is filled with suffering so the fear of death should not be great since it is the release from suffering. The Qur'an gives a very detailed analogy of the Mushrikun in Surat Jathiyah "We live and we die and nothing kills us but time". This cannot be anymore true to be honest as we only have this life to live for certainty.
In the words of Mark Twain: “I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
The only hope of an afterlife we have is one of greater suffering as a God who intended with full intention and will to promote our own happiness would have assuredly given it to us and comforted us with the hope of an afterlife.
