So, do you believe in the Qur'an version of the afterlife because it trumps other religious beliefs about the afterlife? Can you explain in a nutshell what you believe about the resurrection, Judgment day, and Paradise and Punishment? What does the Qur’an say about that? What is Judgment Day? Does the Qur’an say people will rise from their graves on Judgment Day? Is there such a concept as being saved as there is in Christianity? Do believers have to believe in Muhammad in order to be saved? Do people have to believe in God in order to get to paradise?

0A. A person dies, when they die they are said to be "returned to Allah" becoming "Like Nothing" in a dreamless "sleep" or "non-existence, non-information, like before they were born or alive or experiencing anything in any way. The Qur'an compares death to the state of non-existence before existence. The Qur'an indicates Allah is in a sense like death itself, as both are a total void or Subhan, when a person is made one with Allah again or "returned" in that sense, they are annhilated and cease to exist in any sense.
Non-experience can not be experienced in any way as there is no experience or information or anything to process or even your own sense of presence to process it.
Thus, it can not be experienced or perceived, and so is entirely "skipped" from your perspective, like a dreamless sleep, which means just like how you might sleep and forget your dreams and wake up the next moment and its been hours later though it was one experience and all the time in between was not perceived or was skipped and then you woke up and you see the time and you've apparently slept for hours.
The Qur'an details this sensation and perception as what it feels like to be brought back to life, you are experiencing then all the time you are not experiencing you are immediately jumped to your next experience however long it may be in all probability and time or whatever else.
You do not have anything which is permanent or independent, Allah alone sustains whatever it is you think you are, and takes your life and consciousness and brings it back again just like "you didn't exist before, and then your experience of being you was generated and you lived, so too will you die, and cease to Be, and be brought back".
Where and when you will be brought back is after the complete annhilation of this Universe due to the collapse "rolling up like a scroll written" which may already be in progress "as they look on" at the impression of its expansion. By the time the collapse or compression is perceived, its far too late to do anything about it, but it will catch them off guard, just like they look upon the lights of stars long dead.
When the compression occurs, a terrifying sound or vibration, as matter is held together by such tunes, will atomize everything, and that is the end of all things, #Fin!
Then, when the Master wills, a New Universe will be unfurled just as this.
In this New Universe, there will be made a New Earth, far larger than this Earth as its size encompasses much more and has the capacity for much more.
On this new Earth, there is a portion at least which has the appearance of still water or a plane of glass almost, like a virtual reality video game since none of us have experienced such flatness or a lack of any buildings or mountains or bumps or rocks.
Your body will be regenerated there down to your bones, covered with muscle and nerves, and flesh down to every detail of your fingertips.
Then the breath of life and animation and your consciousness will be returned to you and your experience, and it will appear you have only been asleep and woken up, but this weird place is wholly unfamiliar.
You will see many others and then they will start moving and you'll also follow. They may think they are controlling their decisions or following just because everyone else is doing it but Allah is controlling each experience and the people also have the experience soon and in some cases of being mind controlled, where their frontal lobe is controlled and they feel and see their body moving without their ability to control it their motions or command their body or resist, and this terrifies some greatly.
The angels will also be visible, these are multi "handed" monsters in the sight of many, and terrifying to behold. The select are lobotomized in such a way that they perceive no fear or anxiety, whereas those who are to be punished will already be suffering the terror.
Some will also be raised without certain faculties, such as sight, and will not know what exactly is going on but will be afraid at their blindness, others at their sight.
Its basically a horror show.
It only gets worse from there.
The animals will also all be ressurected but are spared from all this.
0B. The people will be urged and rushing on to an appointed place where they then stand Judgment, and are shown a detailed record or recording of every nuance of their performance in life. Visible may be a gigantic Throne, a physical structure that represents to the creatures the sovereign authority and dominion of God, it is so large and illusory seeming in some senses that it always seems visible even if one is very far from it or much is ahead of it. There is nothing on the throne.
The people are each asked questions and given commentary, in some cases their skin and organs are made to testify, other witnesses may be brought to testify, or things are given life such as idols in order to testify, and God is animating all these things and creating every detail of these experiences.
Then the people are brought to the Bridge, not dissimilar to the Chinvat Bridge and Bifrost bridge.
Anyway, people are handed their record and book in front of them or behind them and in their right hand, each variant is symbolic but literally occurs.
Judgment is processed and the people move to the next area.
This is a bridge which crosses over the Great Rift of Wailing, an expanse leading to hell. At this point it hasn't filled up with people so may be more quiet. The people are handed a candle, otherwise the select are given light that comes out of their foreheads and lights the way, this is again symbolic and simultaneously literal, as are all things in the Afterlife, as well as this life, though there it is much more obvious and here people think most things are just chance and not really symbolic, but even your name given to you by your parents was given to you by Allah and everything in your life, your room, all of it is simultaneously real and symbolic and Allah brings about such.
The light leads the way through the darkness, but for those given a candle, the light is swooped away and they are dropped into the rift where they perceive a sense of falling. Every time they die, and however they may die, they are simply brought back and regenerated and repaired.
They will wish for annhilation, but their nerves keep on being refreshed so they feel everything.
Now, the best people make it to the other side, and there is over the whole surface of the massive planet, PARADISE!
0C. Paradise is beautiful, lush, and here reside all the ressurected animals and lifeforms from all Earth's history. Peace reigns, and mankind live in luxury apartments, mansions, skycrapers, spread out with easy transportation, wearing vastly superior materials, with servitors and alien brides for some, new life forms and creations, mankind lives as a highly advanced civilization, in peace, at leisure, lovingly worshipping the Master, in the company of all the good including good Jinn who are real non-supernatural creatures made of plasma which can be seen and dealt with even today and kindly angels.
Though there are special Willy Wonka's Factory-esque rivers of delicious drinks and resources, and people have goblets and treasures and other rewards based on their conduct, the people will eat delicious meals of the best of all they used to enjoy in life, and have the opportunity to explore more, and families will be reunited so long as they are among the winners, and in the case of missing members replacements can be created with ease. The people have a near complete range of sensation except all anxiety and suffering is eliminated from them, making them incapable of feeling pain and suffering in ways that might lead to discontent, and contentment and joy is what they feel, bliss and laughter and immense and ongoing and repeated gratefulness and praise for the Master of Tlalocan!
Our brothers and sisters from around the world and all history will be among us and their communities, and languages will likely be totally perceptible. Among them will be histories, libraries, historians, and many happy tales and knowledge for those interested in the vast network of Allah's great art. The Noble and terrible events and battles and struggles of each can be clearly discussed or reviewed.
Here the people will live on, as a gift from the Master, Mitra, our true Wali and Greatest Friend, our only true Helper and Savior.
Say hello to Jesus and Muhammed, oh look, its other great people, and others so friendly they were surely great as well! Oh you devotees of Amitabha, Salam to you Lovers of Indra! We are all here, in the Kingdom of God, the New Jeru-Salam!
0D. There are two realms not on the surface, and which can be viewed. One is a kind of middle ground, where people await either going to hell or being allowed in Paradise, and this is not quite at the surface but not down in hell either which likely goes deep to the core of the planet as well, but otherwise is a cavernous and terrible real existing within the planet.
The people in Hell are suffering, arguing, in strife, and tortured and ruled over. They have their leaders still present, such as (most likely Khufu) Firon and his Death Cult of "Saints", his villainous general assembly and chiefs. His wife will likely be in Paradise, in her beautiful Garden Estate and Luxury Mansion, visited by her beloved adopted son Musa the Kindly.
In Hell, everything that is horrible and horrible experiences are all there, and the people live in misery and regret and suffering and dying and burning again and again as a reflection of their lives and deeds and cruelty and curse. Just like fish are made for the sea, the villainous have hell as their habitation, Tartarus, Erebus, the Place of Punishment, while the Good are in Elysium and the Fields and beautiful lands of the New World.
