After death, until Yaum Al-Qiyama=Day of Judgement, are human beings reborn in any other form?

Praise be to Allah.

When the son of Adam dies, his body disintegrates and vanishes apart from the tailbone, which is a bone at the base of the spine. When the Resurrection begins, Allah will cause the bodies to grow by means of rain from the earth which will make these bones grow until each personโ€™s body is restored to the way it was before he died. 

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: โ€œThe Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, โ€˜What is between the two Trumpet-blasts will be forty.โ€™ Somebody asked, โ€˜Forty days?โ€™ But I could not answer. Then he asked, โ€˜Forty months?โ€™ But I could not answer.

Then he asked, โ€˜Forty years?โ€™ But I could not answer.โ€ Abu Hurayrah added, โ€œThen (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like vegetation grows.

There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx from which the human body will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection.โ€ 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4651; Muslim, 2955). 

Al-Nawawi said: 

โ€œThe Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, โ€˜What is between the two Trumpet-blasts will be forty.โ€™ Somebody asked, โ€˜Forty days?โ€™ But I could not answerโ€ฆโ€ What is meant is that he refused to specify whether it would be forty days, or years, or months.

Rather what he was sure of was that it would be just forty. It is explained in another report narrated by someone other than Muslim, which says that it will be forty years. 

The phrase โ€œthe little bone at the end of the coccyxโ€ refers to the small bone at the base of the spine, which is the end of the coccyx. This is the first part of a person that is created, and it is what will be left of him so that he will be created anew from it. 

Sharh Muslim, 18/92 

When a person comes forth from his grave and is gathered and brought to account, his body will remain the same as it was before he died. Then when the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hell enter Hell, Allah will change their forms.

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: โ€œThe distance between the shoulders of the kaafir [in Hell] will be that of three daysโ€™ swift travelling.โ€ (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 6186; Muslim, 2852). 

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: โ€œThe molar of the kaafir โ€“ or the eyetooth of the kaafir โ€“ will be like Uhud, and his skin will be as thick as three daysโ€™ travelling.โ€ (Narrated by Muslim, 2851).

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: โ€œThe first group to enter Paradise will look like the moon when it is full; then those who follow them will look like the brightest star in the sky.

They will not urinate or defecate, spit or blow their noses. Their combs will be of gold, their sweat will be musk, their incense burners will be of aloes-wood. Their wives will be al-hoor al-โ€˜iyn and they will all look alike, like their father Adam, sixty cubits tall.โ€ (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3149; Muslim, 2834) 

It was narrated from Muโ€™aadh ibn Jabal that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

โ€œThe people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless and beardless, with kohl-rimmed eyes, all thirty or thirty-three years old.โ€ (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2545). 

This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jaamiโ€™, 8072. 

And Allah knows best.
