Sikh Religion and Islam (161 pgs) - Global Sikh Studies

The last trumpet will sound ushering in the day of judgement.
Children’s hair will turn gray, hills will become running sand, and
Heavens will rent asunder. (HQ 73:17-18) Every nursing mother will
forget her nursling and every pregnant one will deliver her burden.
(HQ22: 2) Mankind will be shown their deeds. (HQ 99:6) Their
actions will be weighed in scales (HQ 21:47) and a final judgement
sending souls to heaven or hell shall be decreed. (HQ 82:13-14)
It is also mentioned that Jesus will come on the Doom’s Day. (HQ 4:
160) He will preach Islam and people will put their faith in him.
(SB656) He will abolish Jazia. (SB425 V3 B.34).
10.6 Heaven and Hell: Sikh view
Sikh thought, despite use of the traditional Hindu/Islamic
terminology sometimes, centres very much around the principle of
“What you sow, so shall you reap”. Heaven and hell are the selfinflicted
bliss or the torment respectively, which reflect the nature of
the deeds done in this life. Deeds done in self-centered pride and
arrogance (haumai) certainly do weigh heavily on the human soul
and torment it, pushing it further away from the state of equipoise
(the main objective of human life) towards lower life forms.
Sikh belief in the transmigration of the soul rules out the traditional
concepts of heaven and hell after death as some interim or final
destination for the soul. Rather, Sikhism has redefined heaven and
hell as extremes of experience of the human soul in this life due to
egocentric thoughts and conduct motivated by those thoughts (i.e.
deeds done in haumai). Egocentricity (haumai) binds the soul to
individual existence; it darkens the soul, burdens it and weighs it
down. “This is the nature of ego (haumai) that man goes about his
business in egocentric pride. And thus human ego shackles the
human soul to remain in the cycle of birth and death.” (GGS p.
