EXPOLRATIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH IN HOLY QURAN

Abstract

The current study hopefully offers a comprehensive understanding of several mysterious realisations related to the representation of life and death in holy Quran. The study relies on some Quranic-based exegeses to clarify some mystifications related to human beings in graves. The approach that is followed and applied in this qualitative-based study is hermeneutic approach to analyse Quranic verses and traditions of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). Findings shows that deceased people in Al Barzakh (i.e. grave’s period) do not have eternal sense of hearing rather they would be able to hear during near death’s time. However, people in Al Barzakh are spiritually able to feel, contact, and see. Death is a spiritual phase that has already been experienced and it will be unavoidably experienced in Al Barzakh.
