In the Qur'an it is written, "It is He who multiplied you on the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered." This denies a return to earth. Mention is made, however, of another life in that sura. "Every soul must taste of death, and ye shall only be paid your reward in full on the resurrection day." Here the resurrection is spoken of, the making alive of the souls without the physical body, and it is plainly said that this existence will be as clear and distinct as is our life on earth.
