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}.
