QABR OR BARZAKH

The qabr is the phase of existence which is after death and before Qiyaamat. This phase of life after death is termed Aalamul Barzakh. In this phase of life are both reward and punishment, comfort and hardship. The events of Barzakh occur to man in two forms:

12. Sometimes to only the rooh (soul).

13. Sometimes to both body and soul.

Thus punishment and reward affect sometimes only the soul and sometimes the body and the soul together.

The terms Qabr and Aalamul Barzakh apply to all those who have died irrespective of the way of death and the manner in which the body is disposed, be it burnt, eaten by wild animals or exposed on earth. All the events of the Qabr will occur to man. Thus man will be questioned, punished or rewarded in Barzakh, no matter how his body was disposed of.
