You and I are the dead, life is the illusion. You 've said it yourself, life after death, did you ever think WTF that meant. The death of the soul in matter/clay begins at conception and that soul wins it's next life in that lump of matter but the mind prevails and the soul flies when the heart stops and it is released from the only hell it can ever know, trapped in heavy worldly material, called the tomb and the womb.
This is another reply:
Quran 2: 29
{
a How can you [people] disbelieve in [the revelation of] God while you were dead [inanimate]b, and He gave life to you [and you became alive: hearing and seeing!]
Then will He make you die [at the end of your ages], and will again cause you to live [in the ethereal world, following your death], and again to Him will you return [on Judgment Day, i.e. you will resort to His Judgment and He will judge you with justice.]}

a [This aya has two implications: one of them indicates the creation of Adam, and the second indicates the creation of his progeny:
1- In my book
The Universe and the Quran , in the subject of
Life is transmittable (or migrant), I have fully explained about the creation of Adam.
2- While about creating his progeny: God created them from earthy elements which constituted the food, and out of the food was the semen, and out of the semen was the fetus.
b The human body is composed of many earthy substances like the compounds of sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and iron. Trees absorb these substances from the earth to be fruits on trees; and when man eats these fruits, his body starts to grow and become bigger by such food stuffs.

Here is also, it is cited that they will forget about their sins and evil acts:
Quran 58: 6
{
On the Day [of Doom] when God will send them all [to the gathering together b]
, and will inform them of their deeds c [which] God recorded [in their book of deeds] and which they forgot about [when they were in the life of the World]; for God is Witness to all things d.}
...................................................
b In order to punish them for their disbelief.
c Of the wrong-doing and association.
d i.e. He is Present: Hearing and Seeing.
The interpretation in Arabic was written by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly.
================================================
In this aya, it is also clear that the disbeliever forgets or tries to forget about his sins and transgression:
Quran 18: 57, which means:
(
And who does greater wrong than he who, being admonished with the revelations a of his Lord, turns away from [and does not believe in] them and forgets what [wronging of the weak people] his hands have forwarded?)

a Which are revealed to His messenger.
