Answer:
What happens after
death graves souls
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Question: ….how and where may i recieve information or understanding on what
happens when we die and leave this world of life
What exactly happens and transpires to the soul of a
deceased human being is obviously amongst the knowledge of the ‘unseen’, and
the exact and precise knowledge of everything of the ‘unseen’ is with none
except Allah Subhanah, the Lord of the Worlds.
And for every matter of the ‘unseen’ the believers who sincerely believe
in Allah and the Last Day must turn only to what the Lord has Willed to make
known about it in His Glorious Quran, or what He has Willed to make known to
Prophet Mohamed (saws), who in turn made it known to the believers.
Ref: at the time of death:
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1627 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws) said, "The Angels are
present with one who dies, and if a
believer dies, they say, 'Come out,
good soul, which was in the good
body; come out praiseworthy and be happy
with rest and provision and a Lord Who is not angry.' That continues to be said to it till it
comes out. It is then taken up to
Heaven and the door is opened for
it. The angels are asked who this is and
reply that he is so and so, whereupon these words are spoken: 'Welcome, good soul, which was in the good body; enter
praiseworthy and be happy with rest and provision and a Lord Who is not angry.' That continues to be said to it till it
comes to the Heaven where Allah is. But
when it is a disbeliever it is said,
'Come out, wicked soul, which was
in the wicked body; come out blameworthy
and be grieved by a boiling liquid, one dark and intensely cold, and other kinds of its type.' That continues to be said to it till it
comes out. It is then taken up to Heaven,
and the door is asked to be opened for it.
The question will be asked who this is and the reply given that it is so
and so, whereupon these words are spoken:
'There is no welcome for the wicked soul which was in the wicked
body; go back blameworthy, for the gates of Heaven will not be opened
for you.' It will then be sent away
from Heaven and come to the grave."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 8 Surah
Anfaal verses 50-51:
50 If thou couldst see when the Angels take the souls of the unbelievers
(at death) (how) they smite their faces and their backs (saying): "Taste
the penalty of the blazing fire
51 Because of (the deeds) which your (own) hands sent forth: for Allah
is never unjust to His servants.”
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 47 Surah
Muhammad verses 27-28
27 But how (will it be) when the Angels take their souls at death and
smite their faces and their backs?
28 This because they followed that which called forth the Wrath of
Allah and they hated Allah's good pleasure; so He made their deeds of no
effect.
Ref: in the grave:
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4735 Narrated byAl-Bara' ibn Azib
The Prophet (saws) said: “When a believer is buried in the grave two
angels will come to him (Munkar and Nakir, both have dark faces and blue eyes), make him sit up, and ask :
‘Who is your Lord?’ He will
reply: ‘My Lord is Allah.’ They will ask him: ‘What is your religion?’ He will reply: ‘My religion is Islam.’ They will ask him: ‘What is your opinion about the man who was
sent on a mission among you?’ He will
reply: ‘He is the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him).’ They will ask: ‘
Who made you aware of this?’ He will
reply: ‘I read Allah's Book, believed in
it, and considered it true.’ Then a
crier will call from Heaven: ‘My servant
has spoken the truth. So spread a bed
for him from Paradise, clothe him from
Paradise, and open a door for him into
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5352 Narrated by Abu Sa'id
The Prophet (saws) said: "The grave (or the life of the soul
between one’s death and one’s resurrection on the Day of Judgment) is one of
the Gardens of Paradise, or one of the pits of Hell!"
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 132 Narrated by Uthman ibn Affan
The Prophet (saws)
said: “Verily the grave is the first step in the stages of the Hereafter. If
one finds salvation at this stage, the
succeeding stages become easy for him.
And if he does not find salvation at this stage, what follows this stage is very hard upon
him. I have never seen a site more
horrible than that of the grave.”
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5352 Narrated by Abu Sa'id
The Prophet (saws) said: “A day does not come
to the grave without its saying, 'I am the house of exile, I am the house of
solitude, I am the house of dust, I am the house of worms.' When a believer
dies the grave says to him, ‘Welcome and
greeting; you are indeed the dearest to
me of those who walk upon me. I have
been given charge of you today. You
have come to me, and you will see how I
shall treat you (with dignity and honor).’
It will then expand for him as far as the eye can see and a door to
Ref: Regarding the punishment of the
grave.
Sahih Muslim Hadith 6859 (part) Narrated by Zayd ibn Thabit
The Prophet (saws) said: “The people who invoke others with Allah, are
passing through the ordeal in the graves.
If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying your dead in the graves, I would have certainly made you hear the sound
of the torment in the graves, which I
hear.”
Your Question: …..when
we die and leave this world of life and enter the spirit or also reffered to as
the " soul world" can we come be brought back or troubled by
spiritualist with the engery of all eviel money ?? also what is the islamic
perspective of dead people or spirits can we live human being contact them or
verse reverse
Allah Says
in the Holy Quran Chapter 23 Surah Muminoon verses 99-101:
99 (In falsehood will the disbelievers be,) until when death comes to
one of them he says: "O my Lord! Send me back (to life)
100 In order that I may work righteousness in the things I
neglected." By no means! It is but
a word he says! Before them is
‘Barzakh’ (partition or barrier) till the Day they are raised up.
101 Then when the Trumpet is blown there will be no more relationships
between them that day, nor will one ask after another!
In light of the Quran and the established teachings of the
Messenger of Allah (saws), when a person
dies, his soul is returned back unto
their Creator, and stored in a place called ‘Al-Barzakh’ until the Last Day
when the Lord Most Majestic will give them life again. There can be absolutely no contact from the
souls who have reached the ‘barzakh’ to the ones who are alive in this world,
and vice versa!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verses 61-62:
61 He (Allah) is the Irresistible (watching) from above over His
worshippers and He sets guardians (Angels) over you. At length when death approaches one of you,
Our Angels take his soul and they never fail in their duty.
62 Then they (the souls) are returned unto Allah their Protector, The
(Only) Reality: is not His the Command? And He is the swiftest in taking account.
At death, every soul is returned unto Allah Subhanah, and
deposited in the ‘barzakh’, and once the souls have reached their destination
in the ‘barzakh’, there is absolutely no way for them to leave that state, or
harm anyone from there, or benefit anyone from there in the least, or contact
any human or jinn who is alive, or get contacted by any human or jinn
alive! It is in the state of ‘barzakh’
where the souls of the righteous are kept in honor and bliss; and the souls of
the evil-doers are tortured until the Day of Resurrection. All souls of the
deceased without exception will remain in that state and place of ‘barzakh’
until the Lord Most Supreme will give them life again on the Day of
Resurrection.
In conclusion sister, we reiterate again that what happens
to the souls after death is from the knowledge of the ‘unseen’ which obviously cannot
be learnt from experience, nor can the truth be based on whims and conjectures
and imaginations of the ignorant…..but for each and every matter of the
‘unseen’, the believers must rely only and only upon the Truth which is related
by Allah Subhanah in His Glorious Quran, and what the Lord Most High has Willed
to make it known to His Last and Final Messenger (saws), who in turn informed
the believers about it and is recorded in the authentic Sunnah.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if
one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah
and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
