The Relationship of the Soul with the Deceased and the Life of the Martyrs and Prophets in the Barzakh

The questioner:
Does he say that they are with their bodies guided until the Day of Resurrection, or only at the time of the questioning by the angels?

The Shaykh:
It is a continuous sleep, but the soul has a connection with the deceased, even if it is not a complete connection like its connection in this world. It has a connection, and Allah knows it best, but sometimes its connection with the deceased is strong, such as at the time of the questioning by the two angels, and sometimes it is less than that. Allah knows that best. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
Some of the dead are alive in their graves, such as the martyrs. Allah the Exalted said: This is a life in the barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection), which does not resemble their life in this world. The prophets are more deserving of this than the martyrs; the prophets are more alive in their graves because they are more deserving than the martyrs, but their life is a life in the barzakh, which does not resemble their life in this world.
