[2] In the time of the Prophet, there were various kinds of differences regarding the belief in the Hereafter. Some people were materialists who did not believe in the existence of Allah at all. For them, the belief in the Hereafter was out of the question. The polytheists of Makkah believed in the existence of Allah but denied the Hereafter. The Christians believed in the Hereafter, but the majority of them held the view that reward and punishment in the Hereafter would be inflicted only upon the soul. The body, which had decayed, would not be resurrected and raised again. Some people adhered to the doctrine of agnosticism, meaning they were engulfed in doubt and suspicion. In their view, both possibilities existed: it was possible that the Day of Resurrection would occur, and it was also possible that with death, the matter of man would be finished, and the concept of Resurrection was merely a speculative and imaginary idea. Despite all these differences, these people were, in practice and in consequence, deniers of the Hereafter, and Allah Almighty has declared them disbelievers because of their denial of the Hereafter.
