What does Islam reinforce about the significance of existence, life?
Part II of II
...You will be justly treated in your afterlife.
This Islamic perception reinforces the impact life has upon eternity and reinforces the significance of life itself.

Now take the universe and place it inside the Causative Force.
Now your actions, positive and negative, have no way out.
Your actions not only affect you and your environment, but also affect others and their environments.
These actions become a part of the Causative Force.
Your actions actually impact upon the Causative Force.
Justice takes on a new aspect.
Now justice elevates the significance of life to a new level.
But what of the Christian concept of forgiveness?
Islamic beliefs do not necessitate the rejection of such an idea.
The Causative Force may very well forgive you for any wrongdoings you imposed upon Her just as a parent would forgive a child.
This would no doubt ease your sense of empathy, but would it mean you completely forget the incident?
And what of others you abused in life?
Can the Causative Force override their emotional and physical pain?
Can the Causative Force forgive you for them?
Or do they have to do so themselves?
And even if they did forgive you, could you ever forget the damage you inflicted upon them if you exist in an omnipresent, omniscient being?
Empathy and justice in an eternity of total knowledge, omniscience.
Can it ever stop?
