<P> Islamic tradition discusses elaborately, almost in graphic detail, as to what exactly happens before, during, and after the death . The angel of death (Malak al - Maut) appears to the dying to take out their souls . The sinners' souls are extracted in a most painful way while the righteous are treated easily . After the burial, two angels--Munkar and Nakir--come to question the dead in order to test their faith . The righteous believers answer correctly and live in peace and comfort while the sinners and disbelievers fail and punishments ensue . The time period or stage between death and resurrection is called the life of barzakh . </P> <P> Death is a significant event in Islamic life and theology . It is seen not as the termination of life, rather the continuation of life in another form . In Islamic belief, God has made this worldly life as a test and a preparation ground for the afterlife; and with death, this worldly life comes to an end . Thus, every person has only one chance to prepare themselves for the life to come where God will resurrect and judge every individual and will entitle them to rewards or punishment, based on their good or bad deeds . And death is seen as the gateway to and beginning of the afterlife . In Islamic belief, death is predetermined by God, and the exact time of a person's death is known only to God . </P> <Ul> <Li> Destiny (1921) </Li> <Li> Metropolis (1927) </Li> <Li> Death Takes a Holiday (1934) </Li> <Li> On Borrowed Time (1939) </Li> <Li> Flesh and Fantasy (1943) </Li> <Li> The Seventh Seal (1957) </Li> <Li> Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) </Li> <Li> The Masque of the Red Death (1964) </Li> <Li> Brancaleone at the Crusades (1970) </Li> <Li> Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) </Li> <Li> The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) </Li> <Li> Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) </Li> <Li> The Sandman (1991) </Li> <Li> Last Action Hero (1993) </Li> <Li> Meet Joe Black (1998) </Li> <Li> Click (2006) </Li> <Li> Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) </Li> <Li> Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows--Part 1 (2010) </Li> <Li> The Book Thief (2013) </Li> <Li> Collateral Beauty (2016) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Destiny (1921) </Li>
