Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Life is precious because it is short and fleeting. Here's another viewpoint. Life is not precious at all because it is short and fleeting. Muslim here. We believe only the parts of this life which pertain to afterlife are precious, as afterlife is eternal instead of temporary. This life is merely an end to a means. It doesn't need to be a goal in and of itself because there's another life after it.
Of course , when a religion creates a Houri why would actual life be precious?
