Recommendation: The Lives of Man
I'm currently reading, The Lives of Man

"The second life is from the time when a man comes out into the world until the time he dies and departs from it."
"The third life extends from the time he leaves the world through death until the time he is resurrected following the Blast of the Horn. This is the 'intermediate realm' ."

"The fifth life begins when he enters the Garden eternally, which is the age which is inexhaustible and without limit. It also begins for the people of the Fire when they enter it after which their conditions are to differ: some will remain there endlessly and eternally, namely the unbelievers of whichever kind, while others will be permitted to leave it, who are sinful among the people of tawhid, and who will leave it either through intercession or..."
