Do souls meet after death?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do souls meet after death, even if the distances between the bodies are far, with one in one city and the other in another city? We have learned, as the questioner says, that the people of the graveyard welcome the righteous deceased. Is this welcome limited to the graveyard where he will be buried, or not? This welcome has also been known through the dreams of several people. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for the evidence from the Shari'ah, I do not know of any verses or hadiths in this matter that indicate the meeting of souls, that they recognize each other, meet, and ask one another questions.
As for dreams, they are numerous. The dreams of believers, these dreams are numerous regarding the meeting of souls and their rejoicing at the soul of a believer. If a believer rejoices at the soul of a believer, and the disbelievers likewise are distressed by what happens to them from other souls that go to the Fire. These dreams are numerous.
Likewise, there are dreams indicating that the deceased may clarify things to his family that he had not mentioned to them. He may say: I have a debt to so-and-so. Then they ask and it is confirmed. He may say: You will find such-and-such in such-and-such place, and they find it. Indeed, he may bring things in dreams that reality confirms. This is a reality in dreams.
Many trustworthy people have told us that he saw his father, or saw his brother, or saw so-and-so, and he said to him: Give so-and-so from me such-and-such, give so-and-so from me such-and-such; because he is asking me for such-and-such. They ask the person, and he says: Yes, I am asking for such-and-such. This has occurred in many dreams, and this is not far-fetched, but it is possible. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
