- What is death ?. Does the soul die ?

1)  Every single person's age is fixed. It cannot increase from it's fixed time nor can it decrease. When the time of life is finishing, Izraeel (upon whom be peace) comes to extract the dying person's soul and the dying person looks to his left and right and sees Angels everywhere.

2)   The angels of mercy come to a Muslim and for the infidels the angels of punishment. At this time even the infidels believe the truth of Islam, but their faith is of no avail. This is because faith is the name of believing the message of Allah (The Exalted) and his beloved Messenger without seeing proof, and at this time one sees the angels and then believes and this is therefore not accepted as a Muslim.
3)   A Muslim's soul is taken out with ease and is then taken with respect by the angels of mercy. An infidel's soul is taken out with great pain and the angels of punishment take it with disgrace.
4)  After death the soul does not go into another body and is then reborn, but upto the Day of Judgement stays in the world of barzakh meaning the interval between death and resurrection.
5)   To believe that the soul goes into another human body or an animal's body or into trees or plants etc. and is known as reincarnation is incorrect and is Kufr.

What is death?
1)   When the soul comes out of the body, this is known as death. However, the soul does not disintegrate but remains in the world of barzakh.

2)   Where does the soul remain after death?
3)   According to faith and deeds performed, a different place is fixed for the soul to remain. Until the day of resurrection it stays in that place.
4)  Some stay underneath the 'Arsh (above the skies), some remain at Aala 'Eliyyeen (the highest point), some remain at the well of Zam Zam, some remain in their grave.
5)   The souls of infidels are imprisoned. Some are imprisoned in the well of Barhoot, some in Sajeen (the lowest point in Earth), some at their place of cremation or burial.

Does the soul die?
1)   In any situation the soul does not die or disintegrate but remains unchanged. Whatever it's position and whatever it's state is, it always remains connected to the body.
2)  If the body has pain it also feels the pain. If the body is relaxed, the soul is also relaxed.
3)   When someone visits the grave, it sees the person and recognizes them and listens to what they are saying. In relation to the Muslim's soul it is stated in the Hadith that when a Muslim dies, it's path is opened and it can go wherever it pleases.
4)  Shah 'Abdul Aziz writes that there is no such thing as near and far for a soul, but all places are equal.  

The death of a soul and it's condition
1)  Those who believe that the soul can die and disintegrate are from a deviated sect.
2)   The dead also speaks. It's voice is heard by animals etc. except for normal humans and Jinn.
