Question:

Answer:
At death, a person enters a world with its own particular order, structure, existence and temporal identity, all suited to the conditions of that world, which God ordains by His will.
Time is one of God’s creations and cannot be regarded as dependent on any other created thing.
Everything in this universe, whatever its nature, is a sign of God. Every object and every being is both a sign and a mirror reflecting the other divine signs. Each being beholds its hidden or visible aspect in another; this is not confined to any particular object or being!
The realm beyond time cannot be considered exclusive to the world after death. After death, too, many worlds with different qualities will lie ahead of beings, and their souls will determine the nature of those worlds.
God knows best.
And أَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُهُ وَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ الْكَوْنِ وَ الْمَكَانِ وَ الزَّمَانِ وَ أَنَّ إِحْدَاثَ الْكَوْنِ وَ إِفْنَاءَهُ عِنْدَهُ سَوَاء
Miṣbāḥ al-Sharīʿa, p. 60

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

After death, each person enters a world with its own particular order, whose temporal character accords with the conditions of that world. Time is a divine creation, and every being is a sign and a mirror reflecting the other signs of God. The worlds beyond death will be many and varied in their qualities; the soul of each being determines the nature of its world.

At death, a person enters a world with its own decrees, whose structure, existence and temporal identity are shaped by the conditions of that world, which Allah ordains by His will.

Time is one of God’s created realities; it cannot be regarded as dependent on another created thing.

Everything in this universe, whatever its nature, is a sign of God. Every thing and every being is both a sign and a mirror reflecting the other divine signs. Each being beholds what is hidden or manifest within itself in another—and this is not limited to any particular thing or being!

The trans-temporal realm cannot be considered exclusive to the world after death. After death, too, many worlds with differing qualities will lie ahead for beings, and the souls of those beings will determine the nature of their worlds.

God knows best.

أَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ كَلَامُهُ وَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ الْكَوْنِ وَ الْمَكَانِ وَ الزَّمَانِ وَ أَنَّ إِحْدَاثَ الْكَوْنِ وَ إِفْنَاءَهُ عِنْدَهُ سَوَاء
