@@charlievaughan1308 The prophet peace be upon him had proofs. The Quran is proof of the prophethood and the prophet (pbuh) is proof of the Divine origin of the Quran. It is impossible for a single human let alone an illiterate one to produce a book like the Quran. It is also impossible for a human to achieve what the prophet (pbuh) achieved (wisdom, conquest, miracles and prophecies). While in the time of the Revelation, people accused the prophet (pbuh) to be a magician, a liar or to be posessed, modern day "scholars" who reject the divine origin of the Quran do the same by either speculating that the Quran had many autors or that it was not preserved. What they fail to notice is that they confirm what the Quran says about its inimitability. Here's how I know the prophet peace be upon him was not lying: I read the Quran and the biography of the prophet and I accepted it. You need to ask yourself one thing, is it possible that humans produced something like the Quran which still puzzle every scholar and has been a mystery for the last 1400 years? The answer is no. Read about the story of the prophet with open heart and decide for yourself. Allah clearly tells us in the Quran that there is no compulsion in religion and that whomever wants to believe, believes and whomever wants to disbelieve disbelieves and none believes unless Allah's wills it. So people need to be sincere in their quest for truth and they will reach it God willing. I hope you find the truth and may Allah guide you.

@@Learn_Quranwithme I'll make a few assumptions prior to replying to your comment: 1) that you're a brother in Islam, 2) that you wrote this comment out of sincere concern, and 3) that you will read my reply to you with the same assumptions towards me. First, and foremost, there's nothing except by the force, strength, and will of God [Allah subhanahu wa ta'aala] لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله. Second, the shaytan has no authority or power over humans except within the limits granted by God which the shaytan himself will ascertain on Judgement Day (وما كان لي عليكم من سلطان إلاّ أن دعوتكم فاستجبتم لي) as stated in Surah "Ibrahim". Third, NDE as a whole is not a fully known or comprehensible phenomenon to us, maybe we have some clinical knowledge about the bodily processes involved; however, we have no idea what happens on the spiritual level. Hence, NDE belongs to the category of ghayb (hidden) الغيب. The only knower of ghayb is Allah subhanahu wa ta'aala علام الغيوب، عالم الغيب والشهادة. Therefore, I ask you so humbly to not state whether NDE is from shaytan or not, because neither you nor I know enough to state such things in public that may shape others' opinions. Our best case scenario is that we acknowledge that we do not know and state Allahu 'aalam (God knows best) الله أعلم. Fourth, NDE like anything during this lifetime may be fitna فتنة, a tool by which some will be guided to the straight path, and some others will be misguided away from it and go astray. الله يضل من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء. What is a reason for someone's guidance is misguidance for another. This is how this lifetime (dunia) works. There are people whose belief in afterlife and the metaphysical will be ignited by NDE and they become eager to fix their life and seek istiqama استقامة, while others are completely misguided taking such experience that death is a beautiful thing or that it will be peaceful and rosy for them with nothing to worry about-- of course forgetting that NDE is not actual death -- and falling completely into kufr كفر until such time they go through the real experience where angels are dragging their souls painfully out of their bodies. So, it all depends.... May God guide us all to the straight path wa Allahu 'aalam والله أعلم . Assalamualaikum wa rahmatu Allah السلام عليكم ورحمة الله

It's important to put the realm of NDEs in it's rightful place: life after death but BEFORE JUDGEMENT DAY. This is called Barzakh. There should therefore be no comparisons with what scripture describes on that judgement day because that is a much bigger event where the world stands still and material life as we know it comes to a forced stop. With Barzakh, both worlds continue existing in parallel.

Fascinating! Just sneek peek into Barzakh? may be I presume. I had that experience upto the light part not to the valley as he explains in details as I lay on OT table, when they administered anesthesia for a procedure in the hospital when I was a child of 4 yrs old, my parents told they were panicking because after the procedure was over when docs were trying to get me regain my senses, I was way too late, which by then I should have regained my sense and I wasn't getting my sense back for a long time and they tried to administer sweets and glucose in my mouth and struggled it took almost 3 hrs. Finally I came out from the effect of anestehsia. Later when they asked me how I was feeling do I feel.any pain or sore and I told them I saw bright warm white light right above my chest when my eyes were closed, as I lay on the OT table. I still remember that moment I was around 4 yrs old then and even though I am 52 now still it is vivid to me. Ofcourse I had no clue what was going on then never thought seriously about it as such but when I hear people relating their episodes like this I takes me back to my little experience I had. So that was it.

''Treat others the way you want to be treated'' sounds like ''Irhamu man fi al arde yarhamukum man fi assamaaa'' which I interpret as '' be merciful towards the creatures of the earth and the one who is in the heavens will be merciful towards you. It will be great if you discuss the phenomenon of the so-called ''Out of the body experiences''. Thank you, brother Paul, for bringing in Doctor Eben Alexander, and thank you for all your efforts.

Interesting. But leaves many unanswered questions that result in human speculation. Islam provides all the answers alhamdulillah

After Paul asks his very good question regarding existence of hell in major world religions, including Christianity and Islam, at 49:58, Dr Alexander says the prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Muhammed (pbuh) were people who were "handing out a lot of pain and suffering to others" and that's why they (pbuh) talked about hell... wow. And Paul, amazingly you just took that without challenge. Couple weeks ago you argued quite severely with Stephen Meyer on how he did not give due credit to Muslims contribution to science, yet hear, Dr Alexander accused prophets of God with such atrocity, and you just let it go. I'm guessing you missed it. This Dr Alexander is a good seller. He is clearly well prepared to questions like these, so he has answer ready to go, without taking a breath. This brings me to my other point. Dr Alexander says we should believe and trust him due to his experience which lasted a brief moment. And he is clearly trying to monetize it by selling books. Not to mention his partner also is in the business of making money. Let's see how prophets of God transact themselves. They do not sell books or charge money for their service or advice. They certainly don't have "partners" who have businesses selling meditation music... They provide guidance to their people, from their heart with compassion for free. Because, as mentioned in Qur'an, they will get their efforts worth from God Himself. My last point, this is not "theology", so I don't know why this interview is in Blogging Theology. Dr Alexander is clearly advertising "new age spiritualism" which is regarding as deviation of utmost severity by religious leaders from all people of the Book.

I respectfully disagree. I have read all his books, and seen his podcasts, and also in this video Dr. Alexander did not say Jesus and Muhammed were people who were handing out a lot of pain and suffering to others. He was saying that what he learned in his NDE, was that any HUMAN (but not the holy ones Jesus or Muhammed) who handed out a lot of pain and suffering to others on earth, would be able to feel that in their own afterlife review from the perspective of the person they hurt, and that would be hellish or extremely uncomfortable. And they would learn from it and become a higher soul through that learning.

And I do understand your perception of religions because I also struggle with the idea that each religion claims to hold the truth. Whether it be Islam or Christianity or whatever, the claim of "one path to grace" is confusing to me. In fact, Jesus Himself claimed that He was "the Way, the truth and the life." Although there must be some objective truth regarding God, why is it that individuals within these various religions choose to accept that their own "dogma" is necessarily the objective truth? How can various Holy Scriptures in different religions influence believers to accept and approve "allegiance to any dogma" ? It seems like an "allegiance to any dogma" requires the belief/acceptance that certain scriptures are authoritative. Does the Islamic claim of "preservation" provide strong support for those who accept Islam as the "one path to grace"? It seems like it does because so many people base their beliefs on this "preservation." To me, the "hiddenness" of God seems to magnify the problem of the claim that other religions are false. Some people claim that God is not hidden for those who study and do research. But often the research may simply lead to "allegiance" to a dogma and not necessarily to any objective truth that other religions are false. Maybe that was why professor Alexander said that this earthly life is "vague" and "murky." I had never heard anyone say such before. But what does it all mean? If this life is "vague" and "murky", can any religion claim it's dogma is NOT vague or murky? What do you think?

So let’s list some of what is in common between Islam and NDEs: the soul (the human spiritual part) leaves the body It can see/hear/smell/sense everything The body is in fact a limitation (a filter), so your senses will be more developped after leaving it. Then you enter the ‘spiritual world’. This world is full of spiritual beings: angels (made of light), djinns or daemons, dead people, … You notice clearly that everything (including the physical world) is gouverned by God, who is one, in control of everything, and source of everything. God is far beyond anything humans can imagine You will be your own judge (the Quran for example says ‘there is no better judge for you than yourself’). Note that in most NDEs there is no judgement, but the reason may simply be that (real) judgement comes only after you finish all your life here. 8. There is an infinity of ‘destinations/places’ humans can go in the afterlife. 9. Light is very important in the spiritual world. In NDEs: people see light everywhere, encounter beings of light, … In Islamic teachings: God is the light of the heaven and earth, all angels are made of light, the rank of every human is related to his light (with the highly ranked ones having more intense light emanating from them), rooms, chairs and everything may be made of light, … 10. the happiness/ bliss/ love /possibilities /dimensions in the paradise world are beyond human imagination (and related to the person light). But the hell side is also very very awful. 11. In the spiritual world, concepts (like for instance: love, kindness, …) can become real as earth&sea in our physical world. 12. The soul seems to have a body-like envelope, visible to other souls. 13. Everything we do in this life is recorded in details, and we will see it in the afterlife. In NDEs people have in many cases a detailed review of their life. And the Quran said: So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. There are a lot of other common points i noticed between islamic teaching and what is mostly reported in NDEs … Now the NDEs don’t tell exactly what are the criteria of going to heaven or hell. NDEs indicate only that both (kind of) places exist. Especially, that the experiencers forget a lot of their experiences.

For example, In minute 06:44 *Dr* . *Alexander explains how is the unseen the world or the hearafter is the Real life* , *and the holy Qura'an says* : "What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew." *Qura'an* 29:64 In minute 07:28, *Dr* . *Alexander speaks about millions of butterflies* , *and The messenger of Allah says in the Hadeeth of the night journey that he saw golden butterflies* / *moth covering Sidratul Almuntaha tree and an explained colors covering it* . It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah (b. Umar) that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken for the Night journey, he was taken to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha, which is situated on the sixth heaven, where terminates everything that ascends from the earth and is held there, and where terminates every- thing that descends from above it and is held there. (It is with reference to this) that Allah said in the (Qura'an) :" When that which covers covered the lote-tree" ( Qura'an 53:16 ). He (the narrator) said: (It was) *gold moths* ( has colors) . He (the narrator further) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was given three (things or orders): he was given five prayers, (he was given) the concluding verses of Sura al-Baqara, and remission of serious Sins for those among his Ummah who associate not anything with Allah. *Sahih Muslim* In minute 09:15, *Dr* . *Alexander speaks about the golden rule which is written in the fabric of the universe* . *He said that it is* " *treat others in the way you like to be treated* ". And The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No one of you becomes a true believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself". *Bukhari and Muslim* In minute 13:12 *Dr* . *Alexander speaks about awareness* , *which is the many part of our spirit* , *as something gifted from God* . *And Allah says* in the Qura'an *about the story of creating Adam* : "after I have shaped him (Adam) and breathed of My spirit (I created) into him, fall down prostrate before him." *Qura'an* 38:72 I think his interpretation of what happened to him by reincarnation needs to be clarified, because in my opinion what happened to him only explain that there is another unseen world or another life which is the hearafter, that's it. Also, his NDE experience was only on the heavenly experience. He did not experience the hellish experience while others have experienced it. Therefore, he cannot dismisses it because he did not experience it.

Thanks and may i say polite as ever pointing out the "contradiction", brother Paul.

His experience of what he believes as death is perceived by the faith and religious experiences he has had in this world. This influence creates another realm of reality, despite the scientific point of view he had had previously. It’s all very subjective, but an interesting conversation.

Salaam alaikum brother Paul what an amazing interview this is‼️ brother have you considered bringing back Dr Lawrence Brown and team him up with Dr Alexander in a whole interview focusing on this huge topic? This is mind blowing‼️ we must keep in mind that Christians like the Jehovah witnesses picture paradise as another worldly experience with your Western family and your dog. We know that in paradise as the prophet Muhammad ﷺ described that the should of the martyrs rest in the chest of green birds. He ﷺ also said that it'll take the fastest horse rider 70 years to ride from one side of a tree to the other in paradise‼️ wow when he mentioned that there's no eternal hell he threw meet off ‼️ he needs to read the Qur'an ink order to get a clear and better understanding. When he said if we should call the God this, that, that .. Allah? Wow he's out of his wits already‼️ he's derailed from the main objective

I have only watched half of the episode but given the content so far and the comment section, i think some points needs to be cleared up: TLDR; our epistemology is not dependant upon experiences instead we have the knowledge first and use that knowledge to explain experiences, not the other way around. 1. this wasn't what i was expecting i.e. i was expecting more of scientific stats from different studies on these experiences rather than his own experience in so much details, he started describing the reality in new terms, it sounds like yet another new age religion and the guy was evangelizing a lot about his shallow beliefs. 2. the start was maybe good if what he said is correct i.e. scientific studies on such topics point towards a non-material reality (while we already believe it and no proof required but for dawah to materialists this maybe a good evidence) and probably the only take away from the whole presentation. which was i think the goal of Paul for bringing this guest. 3. people from all backgrounds have spiritual experiences and from what he described, it does seem like NDE are spiritual experiences than actually being near death. also his description also seemed close to how people feel with psychedelics etc. they describe similar stuff of entities, higher consciousness surreal experiences etc. 4. from Islamic point of view, we can't deny such experiences completely. but we also don't know what he says is true and what is not. but we do have a way of finding out what is true and what is not. i.e. whatever is clearly inline with Islamic teachings, we may affirm it with caveats but we are not required to believe in any such claims, whatever goes against Islam, we have to reject that and about other things, we should try to avoid affirming as we can't be sure about anything of unseen reality. 5. it is not a good idea to attack Paul, while the video clearly has a lot of kufr, Paul also does bring Christian scholars etc as well. at best this video isn't probably for many Muslims especially those who are not very well versed in deen.

In a 2013 investigation of Alexander's story and medical background, Esquire magazine reported that before the publication of Proof of Heaven, Alexander had been terminated or suspended from multiple hospital positions, and had been the subject of several malpractice lawsuits, including at least two involving the alteration of medical records to cover up a medical error. He settled five malpractice suits in Virginia within a period of ten years. Esquire also found what it said were discrepancies with regard to Alexander's version of events in the book. Among the discrepancies, was that Alexander had written the cause of his coma was bacterial meningitis, despite his doctor telling the reporter that he had been conscious and hallucinating before being placed in a medically induced coma. In a statement responding to the criticism, Alexander maintained that his representation of the experience was truthful and that he believed in the message contained in his book. He also claimed that the Esquire article "cherry-picked" information about his past to discredit his accounts of the event.] Proof of Heaven was also criticized by scientists, including by neuroscientist Sam Harris, who described Alexander's near death experience a (NDE) account on his blog as "alarmingly unscientific", and that claims of experiencing visions while his cerebral cortex was shut down demonstrated a failure to acknowledge existing brain science. He noted that DMT, a neurotransmitter of the brain, as well as Ketamine, an anaesthetic commonly used in the management of neurological conditions, are common and more plausible means of such strong hallucinatory experiences. He added that while neurosurgeons need to understand its anatomy, they do not need to study how the brain functions, unlike neurologists. Neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks agreed with Harris, and argued that Alexander had failed to recognize that the experience could have been the result of his cortex returning to full function at the outset of his coma, rather than a supernatural experience.

Salam brother Paul, and thanks for this fresh topic with an interesting guest. About the guest, his doubts about the purpose of eternal punishment, which he said he find not understandable, is very well addressed by Jeffrey Lang his famous presentation The purpose of life. Mr. Lang said at one point of its presentation that despite its love for his dog, a funny lovely one, the dog would never stand comparison with his children. Because the dog has a limit between him and a human, whereas a child while growing can reach more and more the state of understanding of its adult parents. As well Mr. Lang emphasizes that men are growing, either closer to their creator, or to the opposite. So as well as a parent differentoates between a dog and a child (and I talk not of evil here), also we see not what sense it would make for the Supreme Being to draw next to him creatures that have proved unfit to moral growth. Anyway, I'm just summarising quickly. For me in conclusion, the guest seemingly assumes that human are complete beings ready at any time, in any shape or form, for meeting greater that him. Which I think wrong, like Mr. Lang (if I read him well enough of course).

For the distance between the Creator and a creature that didn't use his free-will to grow in the way pointed out by God with is a way of similarity according to some of its attribute, I think that it makes sense that this distance should be at least as big as the distance between you and your dog. For example in term of literacy level, what hope would you have to have a discussion on this matter with your dog? At least the dog here is not limiting itself by choice. But if you are willing to meet the Most-Kind, shouldn't you start to climb this hill by this side, as well as by the many other side's that you can only be conscious of if you start being conscious of your God and the challenges requested by Him to you to beat. - Other example I can see would be this: what are the chances that you make it to the race at the stadium just by walking randomly by the tracks or sitting in the grass around?

I believe it's possible but we can't simply verify it and that's where the problem is.

Even as a Muslim, and curious about NDE, my gut feeling about him is to be very skeptical. Con using others’ interest in the topic. Very crossing over kind of a narrative.

شكرا للدكتور ألكسندر أنا عندما بدأت أكتشف عن مواضيع الاقتراب من الموت وعن العالم الروحي و الملائكة والجن وكيف تؤثر على حياتنا اليومية وعلاقاتنا بل وأحساسينا وتفكيرنا، وعرفت أن الجسد الانساني له طاقة سلبية عن يمينه وطاقة إيجابية عن شماله وانه عندما تحب روحه وقلبه وعقله فعل الخير وحب الإنسانية فإنه يقترب كثيرا من خدام الخير الذين يسكنون هذا العالم من الملائكة الكرام وأرواح المؤمنين الصالحين والجن المؤمنين فيعيش في سلام روحي وجسدي عظيم ،وإذا ٱقترب من أفعال الشر فإن نفسه تفتح له بوابات الشر التي توجد في الكون أيضا وأرواحها تطوف أيضا من الجن والشياطين المعتدين فيعيش في عذاب وعناء نفسي كبير، هذا في الكون الذي نعيش فيه ولقد بلغنا أن الأمم القديمة كانت لها علوم بالارواح وٱتصلت بها وعملت معها في تناغم وبنت معها الحضارات العظمى وسافرت بها في الفضاء ومنهم الفراعنة الذين كانوا يستخدمون الاسقاط النجمي لينفصلوا عن أجسامهم ويسافروا عبر الكون وهو ماادعى فرعون ليعلن ألوهيته في الارض والسماء وأنه يمكنه أن يضع تلك الارواح في النعيم أو العذاب لأن ٱتصاله بالسحرة والشياطين جعله يدرك أن الارواح تطوف في السماء الدنيا ، فأجابه الله تعالى "وأنه هو رب الشعرى"ولا ننسى مملكة سليمان عليه السلام التي عمل فيها الجن والإنس والملائكة في الخير وكانت من أعظم الحضارات فهذا الاكتشاف الذي يذكره الطب اليوم ليس حديثا أبدا ،ولكنه في الاصل طريق مفيد لتفاهم الإنسانية جميعا لفعل الخير وان الكون نفسه خلق للناس ليفعلوا فيه ما يعبر عن السلام والتجانس والتفاهم ليس الشر والتخالف ،غير أنه خلف هذا الستار الروحي الجميل هناك عوالم ستنتهي إليها هذه الارواح لتستقر فيها وتجتمع فيها وتحاسب على أفعالها، ولا يمكن لعاقل حكيم أن يساويها في المكانة ولذلك فمستقر الارواح من الجنة أو النار هوحقيقة أيضا ووجود إله لهذا الكون تعود له هذه الارواح هو حقيقة أيضا لا يجب إنكارها بل يجب الاعتراف بها وشكرا لكما على الموضوع المهم .

I kind of find it strange that he wants everyone to acknowledge his experience but wants to deny the experience of those who may have seen "hell" in their NDE. I don't believe it is a good idea to base one's whole life, and gamble with one's afterlife, on others' NDEs. I'll stick to Quran and Sunnah.

Good point. If some experience a hellish NDE then it's simply experiences that he cannot rule out by not having the chance of experiencing it and just reasoning it through his own experience would be naturally a biased approach. Another major flaw/contradiction is, if there isn't a double edged outcome/judgement/punishment in accordance to someone deeds/actions, then there would be no actual reason to be "loving and caring" to begin with, which is what he is calling for and the core of his NDE journey from his point of view. It would be baseless and meaningless in core, some kind of a utopian world were everyone will live happily ever after without any regard to his past wordily life.

"I kind of find it strange that he wants everyone to acknowledge his experience but wants to deny the experience of those who may have seen "hell" in their NDE. " he doesn''t deny those experiences. He says those experiences are mental creations of the experiencer, and people who've experienced distressing NDEs will attest to that by and large. "I don't believe it is a good idea to base one's whole life, and gamble with one's afterlife, on others' NDEs. I'll stick to Quran and Sunnah." well either way you're gambling with something, could turn out that Christianity is true and you end up in hell forever. Either way it's a gamble.

You WILL experience all the suffering you caused on other people, but it will be a totally just and fair 'punishment' which is seeing it from the other person's perspective and realizing how you hurt them.

You will be paid full recompense on the Day of Resurrection. Anyone who is distanced from the HellFire and admitted to the Paradise, has indeed triumphed. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion.” (QS 3: 185) "When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward.” (QS 16: 61)

He claimed to encounter NED but not true DEATH as yet. He believe in the reincarnation of the soul just like the Hindoos and other Shamanic religions, and thru incarnation that God can become man or earthly creatures. NDE is much BS and full of conjectures and assumptions. Quod erat demonstradum.

I don't really think Eben Alexander is necessarily trustworthy, I mean, just check out this paragraph on his wiki page: "While practicing medicine in Lynchburg at the Lynchburg General Hospital, Alexander was reprimanded by the Virginia Board of Medicine for performing surgery at an incorrect surgical site, two times over the course of a month. In one instance, Alexander altered his operative report because he believed the surgery had diminished the patient's symptoms. He was sued by the patient for damages totaling $3 million in August 2008, but the case was dismissed by the plaintiff in 2009. As a result of the mishaps, Alexander lost his privileges at the hospital and was forced to pay a $3,500 fine to the Virginia Board of Medicine and complete ethics and professionalism training to maintain an unrestricted medical license in the state."

can you please share your experience?

I wonder if that experience was real, would the natural response to it manifest through writing books and composing meditation music (coming up with a new religion) in conflict with what billions of people believe, or perhaps the natural response should have been manifested through contemplating about what religions teach about the subject... especially that the experience itself as reported provides no concrete information about the unseen other than it exists, wouldn't one be curious to learn about it after believing in it? I don't think anyone should waste time listening to non-trustworthy reports about the unseen... definitely not support such new religions through buying books. Just because most people nowadays don't believe in the unseen is not a good enough reason to resonate with just about anyone who does, no matter how silly their argument/belief is, we have better sources that are REVEALED to us through trustworthy PROPHETS, which is enough.

I experienced what they call near death experience and it's not like what he described.

Interesting topic, unfortunately there is a lot of rationalising away the idea of eternal hell in the afterlife, using the atheistic argument, why would a loving God put some people in hell for eternity for a finite of evil actions. God explains the reason why that is the case for some people in the Qur'an. Qur'an 6:27-31. 27.If you could only see, when they are made to stand before the Fire, how they will say, ‘If only we could be sent back, we would not reject the revelations of our Lord, but be among the believers.’ 28. No! The truth they used to hide will become all too clear to them. Even if they were brought back, they would only return to the very thing that was forbidden to them-they are such liars! 29. They say, ‘There is nothing beyond our life in this world: we shall not be raised from the dead.’ 30. If you could only see, when they are made to stand before their Lord, how He will say, ‘Is this not real?’ They will say, ‘Yes indeed, by our Lord.’ He will say, ‘Then taste the torment for having disbelieved.’ 31. Lost indeed are those who deny the meeting with their Lord until, when the Hour suddenly arrives, they say, ‘Alas for us that we paid no regard to this!’ They will bear their burdens on their backs. How terrible those burdens will be! 32. The life of this world is nothing but a game and a distraction; the Home in the Hereafter is best for those who are aware of God. Why will you [people] not understand?

How does this account of his experience fits with the Islamic paradigm? Is this discussion not syllogistically leading the viewers towards the argument or conclusion of unity of all religions or am I missing something here?

What if both are correct … the life review is not eternal and souls come back but then at some point that cycle will end and that’s when the permanent heaven and hell will exist that the religions speak of

My knowledge is very little to make comments but i have watched many nders telling their experience on youtube, these are reported mostly by people who left their body under accidental circumstances like RTAs, Drowning, under GA etc and majority found it very pleasant and thus they conclude that there is no judgement thus no hell. I feel that it might be because from Islamic perspective people who die accidentally are treated as "shaheed/ martyr" and thus their treatment is totally different from an average soul. Generalizing that to every soul would be taking too much liberty. Some might disagree that non-muslims cant be martyrs but i believe any person who has not been preached Islam but believes in God and does good then seems very possible they are counted as muslims by Allah like people of the cave anyway thts another debate. Allah knows best. Point is most nders undermine religion. I believe what they experience is true but it is very specific to that person i reckon.

Viewers. Even though his experience is intriguing. It is just that. It's his experience. What ever he saw our felt does not give intricate guidance on how to live your life.

Islamic teaching does indeed strongly negate both the validity of the actual event itself, as well as the Salvific value that has been imputed to it - to tackle the 1st part of the problem, I suggest watching a 4 part series on EF-Dawah's playlist called: *The Historicity of the Crucifixion* .

Again this is a personal perspective. Believing an experience as such does not make it true nor that it is consistent with what real death and the after life are about. There isn't a proof that what he had experienced is "Kashaf" or Visual detection at death.
