When man dies, his soul vanishes and then his body is perished and decayed because it is from physical elements so when the abstract facts which is the spirit and what its attaches leave it, its physical elements soon decay and return again to its origin which is dust, as God says:
“From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again.” Surat Taha, Verse 55.
But the spirit never dies or gets extinct but it goes to a spiritual world called the interval world, God says about this:
“Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.” Surat Al-Mo’menoon, Verse 100.
The interval is the partition between two things, so the partition world is the abstract spiritual world between this life and the hereafter. Spirits meet there and live an interval abstract life because after spirits get rid of the body which is intense and thick because it is from the elements of the earth, now there is only the spirit and its attachments which are from the world of light which is mild. Everything in the world of partition is mild and can see us but we can’t see them, we can only realize facts about this world by revelation and prophecy or by the science of vision or apocalypse or by truthful dreams of righteous people.
This world continues until this life gets to an end and no creatures will be there, then everything starts to get ready for resurrection and questioning at the hereafter.
The hereafter, the interval and the Day of Judgment are all unseen and hidden worlds that believers who follow prophets and apostles must believe in them, God says about them:
“This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah. Who believe in the Unseen,” Surat Al-Baharah, Verses 2, 3.
Im going to share my beliefs as thats all we can do.
First of all, almost everything about us is about survival.
Survival mechanisms are countless in human function.
I belive we as a species are built to survive and procreate,
In order to do this our minds and bodies can act involuntarily
And bereft us of things involuntarily.
With that said, our lack of knowledge of post death is in my mind
Quite deliberate, yet another survival mechanism in the way that it could
Go one of either two ways for us.
In one hand, it could be the end. We could simply dissipate both physically
And consciously and just cease to exist anymore.
In the other hand there could be something else, something more.
Our consciousness or "soul" may exist outside of just brain function
And we may go on in some form or another.
Either way causes a threat to our longevity in life by begging the questions
Of why bother or why is this taking so long.
Science has gone in leaps and bounds to catch up to the biggest question of the ages, however science is no match for the will of life unfortunately
Bringing about the terms we must all face is that were not supposed to know and nor will we before our time is up.
My personal belief is simple- the consciousness of humans exist as a thing,
Not a result of intelligence.
So if it is a thing in its singularity then its impossible
That it dissappears as the universe wastes nothing.
Death is the extinction of the body, of the name that lived but death is not the end, it is just a bend for us to transcend. There is another life for ME, the Mind and Ego, the subtle part of our existence. When the Soul departs there is no breath, there is death. The Mind and Ego, the ME, is performing Karma and is reborn in a new body while the dead body is cremated or buried and that is the end of the one who was alive. But not for the subtle part, the one who gets a new body and continues to redeem their Karma in a new life.
