  • Once a person dies, their soul is taken by the angels. Their bodies are put in a grave, where angels come and ask them questions such as who is your Lord, who is His prophet, etc.? After these, the punishment of the grave, "azaab-e-kabar", starts. The grave constricts upon the person if they did certain things, etc.
After, on the day of Judgment, each person will answer for their deeds, whether good or bad. Eventually, those with enough good deeds, or those that are blessed with the mercy of Allah, will be placed in heaven, and the rest that do not, will be placed in hell fire.
  • The Islamic belief of life after death is somewhat like reincarnation. They believe in the "Day of Resurrection", and a "Day of Judgment" ("the Last Hour") is crucial for Muslims. They believe that the time of Qiyāmah is preordained by God but unknown to man. The trials and tribulations preceding and during the Qiyāmah are described in the Qur'an and the hadith, and also in the commentaries of Islamic scholars. The Qur'an emphasizes bodily ressurection, a break from the pre-Islamic Arabian understanding of death. It states that resurrection will be followed by the gathering of mankind, culminating in their judgment by God.[39]
  • We belive after life you either go to hell or heaven and that's were you will be forever unless of course Allah changes his mind about were he put you.
  • Yes, they believe that after they die, the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell.
  • Muslims believe in life after death. For those that believed in the Oneness of God and all the Prophets (Peace be upon them all),they will enter paradise.
Muslims accept death as part of life. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) overturned many pagan practices and advised that Muslims acknolwedge death in a positive light.Muslims accept death as part of life believing that death is an essential part of surrendership to Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala is the Arabic word for God, the Creator. It is God, who gives life and He who dictates when it is time for a life to end.

Muslims therefore accept an end of a life with calmness and happiness that the deceased is returning to his or her Creator. They acknowledge death by first saying "inna lillahi WA inna illahi rajioon." This short sentence is understood as "from Allah we come and to Allah we return."

Muslims and the AfterlifeMuslims live their lives with the repercussions of the afterlife in mind. The afterlife includes a duration spent in the grave followed by the ressurection on judgment day and the assignment to either heaven or hell - in accordance to which deeds, good or bad, outweigh the other. Pagan Practices Surrounding a DeathDuring pagan times, pre-Islam, Arabs found death difficult to accept. Many would wail and condemn their idols for allowing a loved one to pass on. They also threw elaborate ceremonies to commemorate the deceased. Women would cry out loud and thump their chests. Many would stay in mourning for a long time period. In some cases, widows were disallowed to remarry.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) overturned these pagan practices. He did allow crying though, as he too wept over the grave of his infant son, Ibrahim, when he died. He explained that it was in his humanness that he cried (Bukhari). He did not allow wailing or any sort of clamours as noise as he said, were practices of the ignorant whereas tears and sorrow from the heart were elements of grief exhibited by a Muslim (Bukhari & Muslim).

Other Practices Overturned by the ProphetBesides overturning such practices, the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) warned that mourning over the dead was only to be limited to three days. Mourning beyond this duration was a reflection of disobedience towards Allah's will (Dawud).

As for women who lost their husbands, they were to observe a longer time period of mourning - four months and 10 days - this allowed them to confirm a pregnancy. Furthermore, it allowed them to recuperate from their loss. The mourning period protects women during a difficult and vulnerable time and provides space and time to regain confidence and solid-footing before considering new marriage proposals, should she wish to remarry.

Traditionally, family and friends gather in the house of the deceased for many days and nights. This was a disliked practice as it placed a burden on the deceased's family to prepare food, drink and sometimes accomodation for those who came to offer their condolences. Instead, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) urged his followers to prepare meals and run errands for families who had lost a love one. He recommended that the community chip in to alleviate the family's burden or grief and help them resume their daily lives as soon as possible (Ibn Majah).
