Hinduism – Do Hindus have 7 lives in reality?

on Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Hinduism is a large religion and there are lots of followers living all around the world. There are many concepts that are different from other religions embraced by people in the world. One such concept is the 7 lives of a human being. This is a concept that is very much debatable and it is still not proved by anyone.

Hindus are of the belief that every person is thought to re-born 7 times. Every time he or she is re-born after death, he or she will have a life according to the deeds  done in the last life. So if one does good deeds in first life then in second life he/she will have a good life which will be full of joy, happiness and comfort. In case he/she did bad acts in previous life then he/she will live a low existence or even be re-born as an animal. So this is what they believe but it has not been proven as of yet.

The Hindus are also of the belief that after seven lives, those who have done good things in plenty and only few sins, will go to heaven. Those who have done sins in their lives will have to pay for that and suffer punishment. They may be sent back to earth after finishing their punishment, but in any of the animal species. This way the Hindus are told to do good acts in their lives if they want to live happily when they are re-born or in life after death.

The Muslims have different point of view on this as they believe that there are only two lives one that you live on earth and the other is life hereafter. They are of the belief that those who have done bad deeds in their lives have to face the punishment and those who did good deeds in this world will go to heaven. There is no sending back. Everyone has to be answerable for deeds they are doing in this world. The two paths are clearly defined in Islam and Holy Prophet (PBUH) preaches the right way, and the choice is left to each person. Everybody can do whatever they see fit, but everybody will be held accountable after death.
