We will all, one day, be on the verge of our deaths, staring at the end of our lives, the end of our choices, the end of our actions. We will only take with us what we did before that time. There will be no going back, and there will be nothing more left to do. Or will there, in fact, be something left for us to do? Hamza Karamali explains.

Why do we die? A materialist might answer that we die because our body stops working—our breathing, our heartbeat, our brain activity, everything, stops. The materialist is wrong—although our death is accompanied by bodily changes, death is not those bodily changes themselves, but something else related to the soul.
