Where do the souls go after death? Question: We know that the shaheed is not dead and are living amongst us and are getting their risk but I want to know that what happens to the other people like us who are not shaheed and die a natural death at hands of Izrael? What happens to our soul where it goes do we go in eternal slumber or we go to a place called barzakh and please tell me more about barzakh? Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. The life of this world is nothing in comparison to the life of the Hereafter. The experiences, happiness and sorrows of this life are microscopic in relation to the Afterlife. The phenomenon commences when the soul exits the body. At such a crucial stage, there are two groups: the fortunate ones and the wretched ones. The fortunate ones are received like kings. Hundreds of angels receive them, fragrance surrounds them and light engulfs them. They are escorted to Almighty Allah Ta’ālā in a convoy of light comprised of the angels.[ii] The wretched ones are terrorised from the moment they sight the hereafter unfolding. Repulsive black angels, putrid smell and fire grasps them. Their souls are ripped out of their bodies and driven to Almighty Allah.[iii] Once the soul exits the body, it enters Inter-space (barzakh). This is another world and realm altogether. This is the intermediary state between the two worlds.[iv] The treatment one receives in Inter-space (barzakh) is a reflection of one’s deeds and actions in this world. If a person was an obedient slave of Almighty Allah, he will be entertained with royalty. If he was anything to the contrary, words cannot describe his ordeal. This concept can be understood by analogising Inter-space (barzakh) to waiting in transit at an airport. The holders of privilege cards and bonus points’ holders are reclining in the first class luxury lounges. Some are entertained in the business lounge, others are offered free meals, and some are only entitled to a free drink. There will be those passengers who are not entitled to anything. Worse than that, some passengers are left stranded in transit, others face ordeals and troubles with flight cancellations and suffer prolonged anxiety. This is a depiction of the souls in Inter-space (barzakh). Different souls receive different privileges based on their ‘points’ they score in this world. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzīyyah rahimahullah explains the condition of the souls in this intermediary realm in his renowned work, Kitāb al-rūh. He mentions that everyone’s soul is in the followi

Evidence of Performing Missed Prayers Answered by Shaykh Mazhar Mahmood madhabah.org Question: Do I have to make up my missed ṣalāh? If so, what is the proof? Answer: Thank you for your query. May Allāh Almighty give us the ability to understand and practice upon the pristine teachings of His dīn. Āmīn! With regards to missed ṣalāh (prayer), It is compulsory for every mature male/female who have missed their fardh (mandatory) prayers to make them up as soon as possible. Mentioned below are a few aḥādīth supporting this statement. “Whoever forgets to pray should pray as soon as they remember, for there is no expiation (kaffārah) for the prayer besides performing it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim:684) Imām al-Nawawī (may Allāh have mercy on him) states in the commentary of this ḥadīth: “This ḥadīth proves that the mandatory prayer which has been missed must be made up, regardless if one had left it due to a reasonable excuse, such as sleep, forgetfulness, or due to no reasonable excuse at all.” (Sharḥ al- Nawawī ‘alā Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim:684] “If one of you oversleeps and misses a prayer, or forgets to perform it, they should perform it as soon as they remember, because Allāh Almighty says (in the Qur’ān): “… and establish ṣalāh for My remembrance.” (Qur’ān 20:14, Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Hibbān:2069] Imām al-Qurtubī (may Allāh have mercy on him) has elaborated on this ruling in his exegesis of the Noble Qur’ān under the abovementioned verse saying, “The jurists of the four schools of jurisprudence unanimously agree that it is incumbent to perform missed (mandatory) prayers, regardless of whether they were missed due to reasons such as sleep, forgetfulness, or were missed out of negligence and laziness.” (Tafsīr Qurṭūbī, Qur’ān 20:14]. Allāh’s Messenger (peace and blessings upon him) taught his Companions and the generations of Muslims to come, by his words and actions, that performing a missed prayer is a command of Allāh which must to be fulfilled. This is demonstrated in a narration of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim where the Prophet Muḥammad (peace and blessings upon him) and his Companions had overslept thereby missing the Fajr (Dawn) prayer. His Companions (may Allāh be pleased with them) inquired, “What is the expiation for neglecting the prayer?” Allāh’s Messenger (peace and blessings upon him) replied, “Oversleeping does not mean that you have neglected the prayer, neglecting the prayer is to avoid performing it until its time elapses (whilst being conscious). So whoever misses a prayer, let them perform it as soon as they remember.” Note: This prayer was missed in harsh conditions and not in leisure. This is apparent from the full report of the above ḥadīth. It is evident from the above mentioned aḥādīth, their explanations, and statements of the Islāmic scholars, that obligatory prayers are to be made up as soon as possible when they are missed. This is the verdict of majority of the scholars of Islām and is the most sound opinion. Allāh Almighty Knows Best!
