what do muslims believe about the afterlife

Muslims believe in the afterlife as one of the six articles of faith in Islam. The Quran states that God will judge each individual by his or her deeds and that heaven awaits those who have lived righteously and hell those who have not. Belief in the afterlife is widespread among Muslims, with majorities in all but one of the countries surveyed saying they believe in heaven and in hell. Muslims believe that when a person dies, the soul enters the state of waiting, also known as Barzakh, until the Day of Judgement. This is the transition period between the world and the afterlife, and it is a barrier or curtain between our world and the world of the dead. Muslims believe that there will be a final judgment of all of humanity, and this is a major emphasis in Islam. According to Islam, the eternal destiny of Jews and Christians is not clearly stated, but some believe that anyone whose good deeds outweigh their bad deeds will be allowed into heaven. Each spirit experiences afterlife in accordance with their deeds and conditions in the earthly life, and evil souls will find the afterlife as painful and punishment, imprisoned until God allows them to interact with others.
