The idea of life & death is specific to each religion / cult : culture/ ideology or personality. According to Muslims , life is a test tailored specifically for each individual person, by Allaah swt (God). To test which of us will believe or not believe. Belief in the one and only true lord creator of the universe....Allaah swt . To Muslims this tenant is crucial to why we are here. Our purpose in life and where we are going. So for Muslims we are placed on this earth to worship Allaah swt and collect good deeds. Our trials are therefore to improve our connection with Allaah swt. We are all about doing good and promoting the ideology of accountability for all our deeds good and bad. So to Muslims life is about glorifying Allaah swt . Believing in the oneness of Allaah swt without seeing Allaah swt directly. Getting to know Allaah swt through all the miracles presented before us. Allaah swt tells us you will know Allaah swt via all the signs ; millions upon millions of signs from the planets in the sky ; miracle of a newborn child; an ant ; the human body & physiology etc..Muslims see death really in the same way ... The function of death in Islaam is the end of your term on this earth . A new chapter begins right from the grave. If you pass the trials of the grave u will have a peaceful term until judgement day. Death is not the end in Islaam but the beginning of the most significant part of your life.... Your eternity .... That's why us Muslims follow the five pillars . The five pillars help us to stay constantly with Allaah swt and also helps us to purify our hearts so next journey the the most important is the most exhilarating and fulfilling . We see this world as a test and those who believe in Allaah swt & performed righteous acts no matter what tribulations they faced on earth ..., they will be the successful for eternity Aameen we all make it to paradise
