Eleven2Three:
You should know, because you must be brain dead to be asking such questions.

Life is like a school and Allah is the teacher.  So we go through life with many questions.  But keep those questions at the forefront of your mind, because Allah's attributes can penetrate the Earthly realm and offer us insight as long as we stay aware and conscious of what we need to know.   There is a veil between the living world and the unseen world.  The Sufi's say if one conquers their lower desires, through denial (or possibly satisfaction of them), that that person can then learns secrets unknown to others.   By dying and passing into this unknown realm, we also gain consciousness of many things that were previously unseen and unknown to us; as you say unanswered questions.  Traditional Islamic belief teaches of a Day of Judgement, when all actions are weighed and judged by the All-Knowing creator, and all things good and bad made manifest and clear.  However, one must not wait until this day, and while in this life and earthly realm there is time to seek knowledge and gain insight, answers to our deepest questions.

If we're really going to go into this question, we'll first need to clear up a few things. Momo sees life as being full of unanswered questions. Where do these questions come from? Are they intrinsic to life, or are they subjective and context based?
And most importantly: what is life, and what is death? You can't answer any such question without answering that one first.

If death is the polar opposite of life, and life is existence, that means death is nonexistence. If life is energy and growth, while death is its opposite, death can give you no answers because acquiring an answer would be a growth of knowledge. In fact, a dead person couldn't have any questions, because to question is to be alive. Death is a zero, and there's no multiplying upon a zero.

The only way death can give you any answer at all is if death isn't the polar opposite of life. Either you would assume life doesn't end after your body dies, or life would have to be some mixed state, which death is already a part of. Both approaches basically come down to the same principle anyway, and it's all vagueness and corrupted thinking.
Define life, and define death. You'll see that the principles of one dictate the principles of the other, ruling out the possibility for questions to exist during both.

And in case death would give you all the answers, where would you get those answers from? As if the knowledge about these answers suddenly "is," once you're dead?

Death doesn't give you any answers - it merely takes the questions away.

So long.
