The Muslim believes that there is reward and punishment, there is a life after this one, and that reward or punishment are not necessarily kept for the Day of Judgment but begin immediately after the funeral. The Muslim believes in the resurrection, in human responsibility and in the Day of Judgment. The picture of Qur’anic eschatology is in terms of the joys of the Garden and punishments of Hell. “A good deal of Muslim dogma relates to the upheavals at the the end of the world, the resurrection of the body, emerging from the tomb at the sound of the last trumpet, and then the judgment itself with the balance to weigh actions, the books which are opened, the verdict, and then paradise for some and hell for others. As among the millenarians, the description of future happiness gives a good deal of room to material promises, which include the promise of women of paradise who are reserved for the elect. The wicked will be condemned for having done wrong. In fact, human beings will be judged by their actions” .

Only a living exchange between the Church and the diverse cultures of people will provide us with the neccessary condition for authentic evangelisation and this will lead every aspect of the Church life of Bangladesh. So we have to understand well the basics of a culture, speciall the philosophy of the words commonly used, is an essential prepation for inculturation. For this way we have to adapt the Theology, Liturgy and Scripture in local Church of Bangladesh. Now I try to bring up some of the points which are problems to evangelize in local Church of Bangladesh in the light of inculturation.
