The Meaning of the Barzakh Life

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers. He asks: What is meant by the life of the barzakh?

Answer:
The life of the barzakh refers to the grave; what is meant by it is the grave. This is because there are three abodes: the abode of this world, which is the first abode; the abode of the barzakh, which is the period between a person's death and his resurrection—this entire period is the barzakh,
and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.وَمِن وَرَائِهِم بَرْزَخٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
[Al-Mu'minun 23:100]
. It is called the barzakh because it is the interval between this world and the Hereafter. The third abode, and the third life, is the abode of the Hereafter, the abode of permanence, the life after death and resurrection. Yes.
