What is beyond the gate of death?

This book was published in 1999, and in it Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud addresses questions that have long pressed upon every contemplative mind, such as: What is the reality of the soul? If God created the human soul with its instincts and motives, why does He hold it accountable for its actions? Is a man free to choose or obligated? Can the influence of the environment and society turn a good person into a criminal? What is life like in heaven and hell, and what is torment like in the fire of hell? Mustafa Mahmoud bases his answers to these questions on Quranic verses and authentic Prophetic hadiths.
