Sis kittygyal - wen you dying - the angels pull da soul out of da persons body. Which means that your soul is still alive, buh ur bodies dead - it's got no life in.
If you been a good person, the good angels will come n take yo soul away, buh if da person waz evil and a disbelieva - da scary angelz will come and take dey soul away. When your in yo grave - da angels will ask:
1) Who's your God? Allaah
2) Who's the Messenger? Muhammad (peace be upon him)
3) What was your religion? Islam.
If you get them right, and a person will only get them right if they believed in Allaah, His prophets and islam properly etc. then the angels will open a window in the persons grave and tell tham that this is where you would have been (hell) - but because your muslim, you gna go paradise/jannah insha'Allaah.
So the person waits in their grave waiting for the day of judgement - the disbeliever will be scared cuz he can see the window of hell, but the believer is excited because he sees the window of paradise/jannah.
When the trumpet is blown - everyone will be brought back to life and everyone will be judged on the day of judgement. And Allaah will judge between them, and the disbelievers will go hell, but the one's who believed properly from their heart will enter jannah/paradise insha'Allaah.
That's a little summary, but if you want to listen to some lectures on the hereafter, you can insha'Allaah off the following link:
