What happens to people after they die?

Haisam

Muslims believe that life has many stages; one of those stages is the life we have now and another is life after the death of our bodies.  We believe the body dies but the soul does not die.  Muslims believe in an afterlife in heaven or hell.  Muslims also believe that each of us is sent to this earth for a reason and we must live to make God happy with us by doing the right thing.  In return, God will make us happy by giving us a good life and accepting us into heaven.
