The soul will continue on its journey to the next phase of its existence, whether or not the body is buried. If it were necessary for a body to be buried in order for the soul to progress, the earth would be packed with lost souls since so many people throughout time have died and have not had burials!
However, it is likely that performing the appropriate funeral rites may ease the transition into the next phase of existence.
If you are concerned about someone's soul, you could pray for it.
Allah (SWT) created our spirits before creating our bodies as we read in Hadeeths. Our spirit will leave our body when we leave this world in death. No question of incarnation at all. Every spirit is for the same person and will ever go into another persons body. Allah (SWT) does not lack ability to create spirits for every creature and does not need to incarnate a soul or spirit into another person or creature. It is also against justice to believe in incarnation because it amounts on imposing behavior of a person on another person.
The Hadeeth says: Allah has created the spirits f people two thousand years before He created their bodies.
The spirits were living where ever Allah has made them to live. We believe in The World of Thar where all people were created but not in their bodies but before that.
Thank you for your question. The soul is immortal meaning that it will not be taken out of existence once Allah has brought it into existence. Death is not the annihilation of the soul but rather its transition from one plane to another. Allah has promised an eternity of bliss in heaven for those that follow His guidance and such a reward is only possible if the soul is immortal.
