I disagree.
I believe there is a God. A supreme being. Although I might not be able to fully comprehend Him, but I know that He created me. He created the entire universe and I submissively worship Him. I completely surrender to Him, I know that nothing happens in the whole world unless by His will.
I believe in resurrection and in life after death and that after we die we will be either rewarded for our good deeds by going to heaven, for eternity, or punished for our evil deeds and that some of those will go to hell for eternity while others will go there for a while (short or long, depending on their deeds) and then be moved to heaven, for eternity.
In the holy Qur'an, God says to prophet Mohammed (pbuh):

"Say: I control no harm nor any advantage by myself except whatever God may wish. Each nation has a designated time, and when that time comes they won't be able to hold it back for even an hour, nor will they be able to advance it" 10:49
