Human life does not end with death. After death, the human ego, takes on the form of an illuminating body upon leaving the physical body. Through the illuminating body, it remains active. Much like in dreams, where the physical senses (physical world) become subordinated to the subconscious senses (senses of world of lights) but do not become idle. Our condition during sleep resembles death. However when the dominant senses of body of light take over the senses of physical body in a way that the physical senses are unable to regain dominance then the physical body becomes permanently idle. This is what death is.

The Muraqaba of after life is practiced to recess the physical senses by imposing the senses of the body of light temporarily. When the student becomes skilled then they can suspend their physical senses (consciousness) and let the senses of light (subconscious) take over whenever they wish and vice versa.

There is a famous saying of the Prophet Muhammad (PBHU):

“Die, before death clutches thee.” This hadith also points to this idea of experiencing the life after death while you are still alive and well by simply subordinating your physical senses to the subconscious. This way you can discover the world where souls live after the death of their bodies.”
