The afterlife will start on the day of judgement and will have no end whatsoever. This is the domain of Allah/God and He only knows the other details except the fact that humans have to spend all their afterlife in hell or heaven depending upon the deeds during their lifetime in the world.

Note:- The book tittled Natural World Order and The Islamic Thought which is available free on internet on SlideShare would make it clear as to what humans are supposed to do to be the denizens of heaven. The second edition of the book book is in the final stages, however interested people could go through the first edition of the book.
The question of quantifying the afterlife invites us to explore beyond the limits of science, philosophy, and spirituality, pushing us toward the essence of consciousness itself. Scientific methods, bound by empirical observation, have made it challenging to study the afterlife directly. Consciousness, potentially non-material, resists the traditional framework of measurable phenomena. Near-death experiences have offered glimpses into altered states of awareness, yet they remain anecdotal and fall short of proving an afterlife. Quantum physics hints at a deeper interconnectedness, but this is still far from definitive.
Philosophically, thinkers from Plato to modern philosophers have explored the concept of an enduring soul or self, suggesting that the afterlife lies beyond physicality in a metaphysical realm. This shifts our focus from quantifying the afterlife to understanding its meaning—whether as a continuation of self, an entry into a different realm, or a rejoining with a universal consciousness. Culturally, the near-universal belief in some form of afterlife—whether through rebirth, ascension, or union with a divine source—may reflect an intrinsic human intuition of continuity that surpasses empirical proof.
The frontier, however, may lie in understanding consciousness itself. Modern theories propose that consciousness might be more than a product of brain activity, suggesting instead that it could be a fundamental aspect of reality. If consciousness indeed transcends the physical body, an existence beyond physical death becomes plausible, inviting a revolutionary shift in our understanding of life and death.
In summary, while we may not be close to scientifically quantifying the afterlife, our understanding of consciousness is evolving in ways that question the limitations of materialist science. Answering this profound question may not involve reducing it to numbers, but expanding our framework to integrate science and spirituality. Embracing this holistic perspective may be the key to exploring one of humanity's greatest mysteries.
In so far as the life is concerned I have proposed a theory tittled 'Theory of Origin and Phenomenon of Life,'. But afterlife is important in order to live peacefully in this world. Even if there is no God then humans had to invent a God to live peacefully. Afterlife can in no case be quantified by science or philosophy. The whole issue is described in my book tittled Natural World Order and The Islamic Thought which is available free on internet on SlideShare.
