Death is not the absolute end. It is just the discontinuation of
unity between the body and soul. It is a change from one state to another and a
transition from this present life to that of the hereafter. “Allaah takes souls
at the time of their death and [the souls] of those that do not die during
their sleep. He retains those souls for which He has ordained death, whereas He
releases the rest for an appointed term” [Qur'an 39:42] - ‘Every soul shall
have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your
full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the
Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is
but goods and chattels of deception’ {Qur’an 3:185}
