Farewell Discourse
In the New Testament, chapters 14–17 of the Gospel of John are known as the Farewell Discourse given by Jesus to eleven of his disciples immediately after the conclusion of the Last Supper in Jerusalem, the night before his crucifixion.''John'' by Gail R. O'Day, Susan Hylen 2006 , Chapter 15: The Farewell Discourse, pp. 142–168 The discourse is generally seen as having distinct components. First, Jesus tells the disciples that he will be going away to the Father, and that he will send the Holy Spirit to guide the disciples. Jesus bestows peace on the disciples and commands them to love one another. The expression of the unity of love between Jesus and his Father, in the Spirit, as it applies to his disciples in the love of Christ, is a key theme in the discourse, manifested by several reiterations of the New Commandment: "love one another as I have loved you".''Imitating Jesus'' by Richard A. Burridge 2007 p. 301 The next part of the discourse contains the allegory of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Akhirah
al-Ākhirah ( ar, الآخرة, derived from ''Akhir'' which means last, ultimate, end or close) is an Arabic term for "the Hereafter". In Islamic eschatology, on the Day of Last Judgment, the natural or temporal world (''dunya'') will come to an end, the dead will be resurrected from their graves, and God will pronounce judgment on their deeds, consigning them for eternity to either the delights of ''jannah'' (paradise) or the flames of hellfire of ''jahannam''. The belief that death is not the end of existence, but a transferral from the temporal world to the everlasting world, (''al-Ākhirah''), is a belief Islam shares with other Abrahamic religions such as Judaism and Christianity. ''Al-Ākhirah'' is referenced dozens of times in the Quran in numerous surahs where among other things, believers are told it makes "the enjoyment of this worldly life" (''dunya'') appear "insignificant"(Q.9:38). In connection with the Last Judgment, it is traditionally considered to be one of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
