Reincarnation and Islam

Within the Qur'an (5:60) it is stated by the Angel Gabriel, as a direct message from God to the messenger and prophet Muhammed:

Shall I tell you who will receive a worse reward from God? Those whom God has cursed and with whom He has been angry, transforming them into apes and swine, and those who serve the devil. 

This makes it clear that, according to Islamic ideology, life does not die, but continues on; that God reincarnates beings into - as the Buddhists would have it - all different forms of life, from single celled organisms through to formless aliens, based on a individual's actions in a previous life. The latter is referred to as karma within Buddhism, and within religions such as Christianity it is based on adherrence to theology and teachings, though the latter does not believe in reincarnation, only punishment through hell, or reward through heaven for a life led. Islam is obviously very different; and only Jesus Christ has ever resurrected from the dead. Reincarnation is not the same as resurrection.

According to the aforementioned verse and teaching from the Qur'an, if you have committed an offence against Allah (i.e. God) and the teachings of his messenger Muhammed, as set out not only in the Qur'an also the Hadith and biographical texts, or have serve the Devil in doing evil, then you will return to life and be transformed by God and reincarnated into a lower form of life such as an ape or pig, or anything other than a higher form of life such as a human, extraterrestrial, or other form unknown to human kind.

Outside of reincarnation - whereby life never ends but is in a continual state of rebirth seeking nirvana or a higher state of consciousness ever closer to the Cosmic Consciousness of God - according to Wikipedia, resurrection in Islam is very much similar to the Christian concept and centres around a single incident on the last day of humanity, known as the Day of Judgement:

Resurrection in Islam (Yawm al-Qiyamah) is a fundamental article of faith, marking the day when all humanity will be raised from the dead to be judged by Allah based on their earthly deeds. This day of judgment involves physical resurrection of both body and soul, leading to eternal life in either Paradise (Jannah) or Hell (Jahannam).

This is identical to the Christian story apart from one single significant element - in Christianity God returns on this day; in Islam Jesus Christ - who is not God but merely a human man and a lesser prophet - will return to destroy Christianity and kill Jews! This is no small difference, and supports the quest by Muhammed to replace Jesus Christ in all ways, firstly by denying his is God and secondly by casting him as the anti-Christ and mere mortal.
