لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

You (O mankind!) will certainly proceed from phase to phase. (From this world, man proceeds to the realm of "Barzakh" and then towards Qiyaamah and the many stages of the Aakhirah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

You are to ascend stage by stage: that is, in the life of this world, passing gradually through various periods, at the end there is the step of death, then that of the world of barzakh (the intermediate realm between death and resurrection)
