| Abstract |
|
The study compares the Doomsday concept among Muslim and Buddhist intellectuals and university students in Muslim and Buddhist clubs. It is found that the concept is totally different between Muslims and Buddhists. Buddhists do not believe in the creation and destruction of all things by God, but Muslims do. Buddhists focus on impermanence, suffering and the selflessness of all things in order to eternally liberate one’s mind from suffering. Muslims accept the Unity of God and adhere to Islamic teachings in order to go to heaven. Perspectives on Doomsday of the two religions are similar. Both Muslims and Buddhists view this world as the residence of human beings, and morality and ethnics can be developed for peaceful existence in this world and an eternal life in the world beyond.
