What happens to the soul and body of a believer after his death?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: What happens to a believer after he dies? Does he remain lying there until the Hour, or does his soul go to Paradise and become a breeze among the trees of Paradise?

Answer:
Yes, his body remains in the grave and becomes dust, or it remains; Allah knows best. His body is in the grave, but as for his soul, if he was a believer, it is in the atmosphere of a bird that eats from the fruits of Paradise and returns to the grave. It also returns to the body, connecting with it. It goes out, it goes, it comes. The soul is not confined in the grave. As for the body, it is confined in the grave until Allah the Exalted resurrects it. As for the soul of the disbeliever, it is in a prison. The soul of the disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that, is in a prison, in the Fire, in the lowest part of the Fire. Yes.
