Souls in Barzakh: Ranks After Death
In Part 16 of “The Righteous Answers to Wise Questions,” Allamah Zaid al-Madkhali explains the various abodes of souls in Barzakh. He details the highest ranks in Illiyyin, souls of martyrs in green birds flying in Paradise, restricted and punished souls, the famous Hadith of Samurah bin Jundub showing torments for liars, adulterers, and usurers, the four houses the soul passes through, and Ibn al-Qayyim’s three types of nafs.
