07 · THE HEREAFTER
Death & the life to come
The Qur’an teaches that every soul will taste death. It describes a barrier, called barzakh, until resurrection. The trumpet, resurrection, and judgement are part of Islamic belief. These images are symbolic learning aids; they do not show what the unseen actually looks like. This is an overview, not a precise ordering of every event.
An overview of the unseen
Keep the Quranic references separate from the imagined landscape. The artwork is an atmosphere for reading, not evidence for how barzakh or resurrection appears.
Learn beyond a short summary
