Description:

Have you ever wondered what happens to you in the grave?

There will be a barrier between Paradise and Hell. And on the heights ˹of that barrier˺ will be people who will recognise ˹the residents of˺ both by their appearance. They will call out to the residents of Paradise, “Peace be upon you!” They will have not yet entered Paradise, but eagerly hope to.

[Qur’an 47:46]

A place between two worlds, the world of the living (Dunya) and the day of judgement (Akhirah), a transitional period before the day of judgment. Just like our journey in the Dunya, Barzakh represents another stage in our life where our soul isn’t just dormant in the grave but goes through its own significant journey and stages of pleasures and hardships before it reaches the Akhirah.

Come and join Islamic Help and Shaykh Dr. Abu Ibrahim on this insightful seminar as we explore one of the stages of life after death, envision the journey that we will go through, and how to attain the best outcome from it. Find out how we can try to transform the essence of our soul to be as close as possible to that of the substance of the Qur’an.
