Imagine yourself at the moment of your death. What thoughts cross your mind? Memories of family and friends? Panic? Regrets? Remembrance of Allah? What is death? What happens to us after we die? What is life in the Hereafter like, this new and strange world after death? Do we lose consciousness of this life? Where does our soul go? Do we feel and think the same? The ineffable feeling of crossing the boundary between this world and the next cannot be described in words, nor imagined in the mind, but can be understood only through divine revealation and inspiration. Let us for the next few moments seek an understanding of this, death, the only certainty in life. Sometimes we may not want to know about the processes that occur after we die because we are afraid or don't want to think about it. However, this is not the attitude of a Muslim. We should be foremost in learning and understanding death, so we can live our lives accordingly. The prophet (saw) said, "Live in this world as though you are a stranger or a traveler (passing through it)." [Muslim] We are on a journey and should know about the whole journey's itinerary, not just one part. Death is inevitable. It is the one thing that we can be certain about in life. We are born to die. Every soul shall have a taste of death no matter who they are. This is confirmed for us many times in the Quran: "Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgement shall you be paid your full recompense." (Quran 3:185) "Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good, by way of trial. To Us must you return." (21:35) "Every soul shall have a taste of death: In the end to Us shall you be brought back." (29:57) Death is not pure annihilation, but rather both the living and dead are aware, but there is a difference that can't be compared. Death is merely movement from one world to another. It can be described as a journey through a wormhole to a separate dimension of existence.

The Life After Death (Barzakh) In Islam Based from The Holy Quran Bilingual Edition In English & Germany Languange Barzakh is an Arabic word meaning "obstacle", "hindrance", "separation", or "barrier" designates a place separating the living from the hereafter; a veil between the dead and their return to world of the living, but also to a phase happening between death and resurrection. Barzakh may, according to Ghazali, also be the place for those, who go neither to hell or to heaven. According to Ibn Hazm, Barzakh is also the place for the unborn souls, existing in the lowest heaven, where an angel blows the soul into wombs. Mentioned only three times in The Holy Quran, and just once specifically as the barrier between the corporeal and ethereal, Barzakh is portrayed as a place in which, after death, the spirit is separated from the body - freed to contemplate the wrongdoing of its former life. Despite the gain of recognizance, it cannot utilize action. The other two occurrences refer to Barzakh as an impenetrable barrier between fresh and salt water. While fresh and salt water may intermingle, an ocean remains distinct from a river. In hadith, Ibn al-Qayyim cites that, albeit not mentioned in the Quran, souls in Al-Barzakh would be grouped with others matching in purity or impurity. In Islam, the soul and the body are independent of each other. This is significant in Barzakh, because only a person's soul goes to Barzakh and not their physical body. Since one's soul is divorced from their body in Barzakh, the belief is that no progress or improvements to one's past life can be made. If a person experienced a life of sin and worldly pleasures, one cannot try to perform good deeds in order to reach Jannah Paradise. Whatever one does in his or her lifetime is final and cannot be changed or altered in Barzakh. However, there is belief that the fire which represents the own bad deeds can already be seen in Barzakh, and that the spiritual pain caused by this can lead to purification of the soul. In Sufism the Barzakh or Alam-e-Araf is not only where the human soul resides after death but it is also a place that the soul can visit during sleep and meditation. Barzakh ist ein arabisches Wort, das "Hindernis", "Hemmnis", "Trennung" oder "Barriere" bedeutet und einen Ort bezeichnet, der die Lebenden vom Jenseits trennt; ein Schleier zwischen den Toten und ihrer Rückkehr in die Welt der Lebenden, aber auch zu einer Phase, die sich zwischen Tod und Auferstehung abspielt. Barzakh kann, so Ghazali, auch der Ort für diejenigen sein, die weder in die Hölle noch in den Himmel kommen. Nach Ibn Hazm ist Barzakh auch der Ort für die ungeborenen Seelen, die im untersten Himmel existieren, wo ein Engel die Seele in den Leib bläst. Im Koran wird Barzakh nur dreimal erwähnt, und nur einmal ausdrücklich als die Barriere zwischen dem Körperlichen und dem Ätherischen. Barzakh wird als ein Ort dargestellt, an dem der Geist nach dem Tod vom Körper getrennt wird - befreit, um über das Fehlverhalten seines früheren Lebens nachzudenken. Trotz des Zugewinns an Anerkennung kann er sich keine Handlung zunutze machen. Die beiden anderen Vorkommnisse beziehen sich auf Barzakh als undurchdringliche Barriere zwischen Süß- und Salzwasser. Während Süß- und Salzwasser sich vermischen können, bleibt ein Ozean von einem Fluss getrennt.
