Muslims believe that after death, the soul separates from the body and enters the afterlife. The Islamic view is that life and death are given by Allah, and death is seen as the beginning of the afterlife. The soul will remain after it departs the body, and it will ascend and descend, and it will be returned to the body, and the deceased will be questioned, then he will be subjected to bliss or punishment. Here are some key beliefs in Islam about what happens after death:

• Ghusl and Janazah: After a Muslim dies, their family and Muslim community will conduct their Ghusl (full-body ritual purification) and then proceed to their Janazah (funeral prayer) .

• Barzakh: After death, the soul enters the state of waiting, also known as Barzakh, until the Day of Judgement.

• Judgement: On the Day of Judgement, the dead will be resurrected and judged for their deeds.

• Heaven and Hell: Muslims believe that there are seven levels of Heaven, and each Heaven is made of a different material, and a different prophet lives in each Heaven. Hell is described as a place of fire and torment, and Muslims believe that they will be sent to Hell if they reject the teachings of the Qur’an or take no responsibility for their actions.

• Reward and Punishment: Muslims believe that Allah will hold them accountable for their actions and reward or punish them accordingly. Believing in an afterlife is one of the six articles of faith in Islam.
