The Life in The Barzakh #10: Can The Living Interact With The Dead? | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi 

I lost my beloved wife last month and she left a 6 days old baby boy when she left this dunya...May allah grant her in Jannathul fedous.

@YasirQadhi My mother passed away recently. These videos have helped me so much in understanding the life in the barzakh and bring peace to my heart. May Allah bless you and reward you for spreading this knowledge. ♥

MashaAllah I never saw anyone in present life who explain Quran and sunnah in a crystal clear way like u did.... May Allah bless u with more ilm and health

Masallah he is so eloquent in his speech , may Allah increase him in knowledge and grant him the highest level of jannah

The day my father was being buried he came to my dream and told me not to worry he is in a good place. And I saw him walk away to my dead family members hugging each other they went in to a bright white gate.

One of my favourite parts of every episode is that short few seconds of Qur'an recital at the start ❤

One of the best scholar of our time, may you be, MasyaAllah. The ability to absorb all these theologies with utmost humility in the presence of knowledge, is a gift to all. SubhanAllah may this knowledge be absorbed, learned and appreciated by many without prejudice.

55:01 goosebumps. He recited the ayah from the beginning of each video.

This truly was a life-changing series, at least for me. JazakAllah khair, Sheykh Yasir.

Without knowing the truth we just wonder around the world with our weird fantasies. Knowing this puts us to peace somehow and makes me understand my place in the world. May Allah always keep us under his love and mercy.

One word SUPERB SUPERB SUPERB... U deserve a standing ovation for this series... May Allah reward you reward you reward immensely... Jazakallah u khair Sheikh we are really blessed to have people like you. May Allah put barakh in your ilm aameen

Yes these series are great! Why? Because of the explanation of the hadith from all the 4 schools AND from the Shia perspective. This gives me a better idea of this knowledge. Thank you. May Allah bless.

Not only did he cover the different madhabs he also covered different sects such that my faith in practicing Sunni Islam is firmed up and I feel even more tranquility in being born into this Amazing !!! Very intelligent move and well timed lol May Allah continue blessing brother Yasir Qadhi (Ameen)

Exceptionally brilliant and learned discussion. Shaikh Yasir has done a great service .May Allah reward him abundantly.

"She was sitting while a group of girls were around her brushing her hair and taking care of her.Their skins were mesmerizing!" My friend's mother describes what she saw in a dream shortly after her daughter passed away.

As Salaam alaikum Please pray for my marhoom mother Farhath Jabeen who passed away few days ago.. May Allah bless her Jannatul Firdous and protect her from the azab of Kabr and aag of Jahannam.. May her Barzakhi life be peaceful... Ameen summa ameen

He is a very intelligent, wise and logical scholar of the dean god bless him. I really wish he could make videos about the daughters of the prophet especially Fatima may Allah be pleased with her.

36:21 ... very interesting, never expected this! Jazaakallaahu khayran Shaykh Yasir for spreading knowledge. May Allah grant us all ikhlaas and protect us from the Fitnatun Naar, and the Azaabun Naar, and the Fitnatul Qabr, and the Azaabul Qabr. Aameen

10 super interesting episodes. May Allah grant you Firdeus Jannah. 🔝 Professor ! La ilahe il Allah ☝️

Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Shiek. I have lost my mother this Friday in this blessed month of Ramadan. I loved my mother the most, she was my world. she was in India and I am stuck here in Australia and due to this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic I couldn’t even travel to take of her during her during the last 2 years of her sicknesses or be part of her funeral procession. She fought bravely until the end and had so much sabr MashAllah until the very end and passed away due to kidney and other organ failure. What’s surprising is that while she was in extreme pain an hour before her passing away she some how went from the state of being in extreme pain to someone who was in rush as if she is going to miss her flight.She ate a bit of food took some medicine asked my father for forgiveness and repeatedly kept asking Allah for forgiveness and told my sister who was sitting with her that her time has come and said Kalimah 3 times and on the fourth time her soul passed away. Clearly when this news was told to me and my sister who is in Houston we were extremely shocked and distressed. I came here looking for answers and Alhamdulilah have learnt so much more. Again JazakAllah Kair and May Allah protect you and reward you immensely for the work your doing and the knowledge you are sharing with us. InshAllah will try to meet you in person and thank you next time I am around in Texas.

Such an informative and eye-opening lecture. I’ve learned so much and benefited from this lecture alone! I pray that Allah bless sheikh Yasir Qadhi and reward him.

JazakAllahukhairan Shaykh Today I completed the last episode of your Barzakh lectures. Alhamdulillah it was so informative and beneficial You have done such a hard work preparing and then sharing with us your knowledge and research May Allah accept from you and help us prepare for a better life in the hereafter.Ameen

May Allah bless him this brother. He is so articulate

How i wish & pray to ALLAH(SWT) to make me or give me a servant like U (DR. YASIR QADHI) Amin JAZAKALLAHU BI KHAIR.

Thanks to Dr. Yasir Qadhi for the explicit explanation regarding Barzakh that make my soul calm . May Allah grant all of your good deeds.

SubhanAllah. May Allah reward you abundantly in this world and in the hereafterۃ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ May Allah Kareem increase us in Knowledge. ​May Allah accept from us and you, our good deeds done sincerely for Him, for His sake and to explicitly seek His pleasere. May Allah Kareem be pleased with us and be generous to accept our trivial deeds, which we humans due to our bashari constraints, cannot do as per His actual Haq and desire. آمِیْن یَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِیْن

Episode 10 Notes: Can the Living interact with the Dead? Do the Souls of the Dead interact? There is nothing explicit in the Qur’an on this topic. But the scholars have derived meanings from the Qur’an which are indirect. There is one Hadith in the Sunan Al Nasai which mentions, how the souls of the newly dead interact with the souls of those who died before them. The newly dead souls are asked about the ongoings of the Dunya. Based on this Hadith, it would seem souls who pass away, are cognisant of their lives. The souls of those who are undergoing the Adhab Al Qabr are disconnected, from those who are of the Naeem Al Qabr. Thus the good souls are unaware of who is undergoing Adhab Al Qabr. This Hadith is explicit on the communication between the souls of the dead. Can the Living Interact with the Dead? Hadiths mention, the Muslim who sees the Prophet SAW in a dream, has truly seen him. This means in one’s dreams, the living person can interact with the Prophet SAW, despite the latter’s physical demise. Furthermore, the Prophet SAW interacted with the souls of the other Prophets AS, during Al Isra Wal Miraj. It is possible for a living Muslim to see his deceased family/friend in a dream but, there is a possibility that it could be Shaytaan impersonating one’s relatives. However, all the above are exceptions and a living conscious Muslim cannot interact with a dead soul. This is only possible during a dream and even then, it must be taken with a grain of salt, unless it was the Prophet SAW. The reason it’s possible during a dream state, is because our souls leave our bodies and go to a different place that, maybe be close to the Barzakh. The Islamic Eschatology of Non Suni Groups Those who believe the same as Sunnis: The 3 Sunni Aqeedah schools have zero differences when it comes to the Barzakh. The majority of Ibadi, Zaydi Shia and Mu’tazila do not differ to the Sunnis either, when it comes to the Barzakh, Adhab Al Qabr, Na’eem Al Qabr, Qiyamah, Jannah and Jahannam. The Shia: The beliefs of the Shia in relation to eschatology differ depending on the sect. • The Twelver Shia: They hold very similar beliefs to the Sunnis, meaning they accept the Barzakh, Qiyamah, Jannah and Jahannam. But, there are differences too like, how they believe the Hawd belongs to Ali RA, rather than to the Prophet SAW. They also believe the Fitnah of the Qabr has 4 angels, 2 for the believers and 2 for the disbelievers. The names of these 4 Angels aren’t Munkar and Nakir which is the Sunni belief, but rather different names altogether. All of the above groups are considered unorthodox, but within Islam because they still hold eschatological views which, are very close to the Sunnis. Those who differ to the Sunnis: • Isma’ili Shia: Ismaili Shia at first had a similar theology to Sunnism. But, over time they were heavily influenced by Neoplatonism and Christianity which, means their understanding of cosmology and God is very different to Sunni Islam. They consist of many sub sects, yet there are 3 major strands: 1. Dawoodi Bohra’s: The Dawoodi Bohra’s represent original Isma’ili doctrine which, contained a Shariah, Salaah, Zakat, Sawm, Hajj and a belief in the Akhirah. Although they do not emphasize the importance of these things, unlike Sunnis. They are the closest to the Sunnis out of the 3 major Isma’ili strands. 2. Nizari’s: They originally followed mainstream Isma’ili doctrine until one of their Imams, Hassan II of Alamut declared that Qiyamah has already occurred. Hassan II then declared this Dunya is Jannah. Therefore, they don’t do the 5 pillars and believe the Shariah is no longer needed as they are in Jannah. Furthermore, they believe in the transmigration of souls. They were heavily influenced by neo platonic thought. Their theology is very far away from Sunni theology. 3. Druze: One of the smallest Isma’ili Shia sub sects, they broke away in the Fatamid Period of Al Hakim Ibn Amr Allah, who they believe is a physical manifestation of God himself. The Druze are also a very secretive group. They don’t consider themselves to be Muslim, although Sunni Muslims view them to be originating from Isma’ili Islam. They completely reject Islamic eschatology altogether and ultimately believe in reincarnation. • The Alawites: Also known as the Nusayri’s, they originated from the Twelver branch of Shi’ism. They were created after the demise of the 11th Imam, Hasan Al Askari, by a man who was the student of the 11th Imam, called Ibn Nusayr. They only started calling themselves Alawi as of 100 years ago, before that they were known as Nusayri’s. They are the most secretive group and they don’t allow the publication of their books. They have even killed people for publishing books about their theological beliefs. Like the Druze, they believe in the transmigration of the souls. But, the Nusayri’s go even further and believe souls can enter the animals and inanimate objects. The Nusayri’s reject the Akhirah and believe a very pious soul will eventually become one with God. It is due to their radical theological beliefs that Alawites, Druze and Nizari Shia aren’t considered to be Muslims by Sunnis. Fun Trivia fact: The only way to see someone in a dream is to do Dua to Allah SWT. Fun Trivia fact: The Zaydi Shia are the closest to the Sunni’s, out of all the Shia groups in terms of theology. They even view Abu Bakr RA and Umar RA, to be not bad people but, they believe Ali RA was better. It is because the Zaydi’s accept Abu Bakr RA and Umar RAs Khilafah’s, they are called “Sunni’s” in the eyes of the Twelver Shia and Shia in the eyes of the Sunnis. Fun Trivia fact: The Nizari and Dawoodi Bohra’s exist because of a split between two brothers, which created the two sub sects and over time they became radically different, to one another. Fun Trivia fact: The Druze do not teach 85% of their own people the Druze theology, they do this as a point of theology. Only 15% of them are chosen to become scholars. Fun Trivia fact: Druze call 85% of themselves Juhaal i.e Ignorant. Fun Trivia fact: Isma’ili theology believes, souls keep transmigrating from one soul to another at the time of death, until eventually they reach a level where they become one with God. Fun Trivia fact: Historians and Sunnis believe that the 11th Imam, Hasan Al Askari, died in his young age and did not have any children. Thus, they don’t recognise the existence of the 12th Imam. The Twelver Shia are the only ones who believe in a 12th Imam, who is the child of the 11th Imam and the future Mahdi that, is hiding. Fun Trivia fact: It is narrated that, Imam Bukhari’s mother saw the Prophet Ibrahim AS in her dreams. Fun Trivia fact: The Barzakh consists of many levels and the highest level belongs to the Prophets AS. The next level after that one belongs to the Shaheed. ======================================================================== Disclaimer for my Notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Life in the Barzakh Series Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, these are my notes on Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Life in the Barzakh series. Please note: I HIGHLY recommend that you all watch YQ’s Barzakh series, as I DON’T cover every single detail the Sheikh mentions. I made these notes primarily for myself but, decided my fellow brothers and sisters may benefit from them too. I no doubt will have made mistakes in my notes. All the good in these notes is from Allah SWT and all the mistakes are from myself. But, I was very meticulous and tried my best to make sure everything is accurate as the Sheikh mentions it. You also will see I have added “Fun Trivia facts” under each of my notes. These FTFs are information YQ said that was off topic or not necessary to include in my notes for the episode. But, they were still worth mentioning hence the inclusion as FTFs. FTFs aren’t always HAPPY pieces of information. Sometimes they are very sad trivia. I just want to say that FTF is the phrase I used for them all collectively when making the notes. One thing I wanted to do but am too lazy to do is, maybe someone could take the FTFs from under each “Episode” and make an Islamic reminder/information IG/TikTok account and post them daily or something. It Could be a great form of Sadaqah Jaariyah. Lastly, I have uploaded the notes to Dropbox, if anyone wants them in one document then comment below. I also have done notes on Sheikh YQs Seerah series and Mothers of the Believers series. You can find them below the episodes on his channel in comments. Please keep me in your Duas and ask Allah SWT to forgive all our sins. Ameen!

Alhamdulillah Dear Sheikh I have learnt so much out of this 10episodes may Allah accept your good deeds and give us all a very generous barzakh and jannahtul ferdouse Please if this can be translated in to a Bengali language pple will learn and benefit so much. JazahkAllah kair.

May Allah swt bless you . My father passed away last month n I was really curious to know what exactly happened when someone dies. your series of Barzakh really helped me to understand n Alhumdulilah I got to learn a lot more other important things from this series.

Jazak Allah Khair for whole series.

SubhanAllah; Masha Allah very informative speech ever heard.

Masha Allah May Allah reward you with jannatul fiddaus. AMEN

Jazakallah khair..

46:17 "I dont ever want to disrespect a group that bows their head to Allah". Sheikh, just because people bow themselves before Allah doesn't mean they deserve our respect. The jews bow before Allah but their deeds are null and void, the christians bow down to Allah but associate with him partners. Allahs says in the Quran *"Do you not see that to Allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified."* (Surah 22:18). Allah says in this verse that there are people who do sujud but will still get punishment! If you don't want to make fun of a group that is one thing, but to go out of your way all the time to point out how we should be brotherly with groups who clearly oppose the teachings of Allah and His Messenger is absolutely unacceptable. The shia make sujood to Fatimah (RA) and call DIRECTLY upon Ali (RA) and others. This is clear cut shirk. They ascribe to their imams things only Allah posseses, thus making partners with him. And sheikh you know more than me what they claim! They curse our Mother and accuse the Muhajiron and the Ansar of Kufr, when Allah was well pleased with them and promised them Jannah. They contradict Allah and they contradict His Messenger. It is not part of iman to love deviants! Wallahi i seek refuge in Allah from being resurrected near a shia in the Day of Judgement or near a grave worshipper or a denier of the sunnah! Reconsider your stances Sheikh and be like Ibn Taymiyyah who feared none but Allah. Don't fear controversy, and fear Allah alone.

JazakAllahu khairan as always

I HV gain knowledge from ur lectures on life in the barzakh,may Allah reward u with jannatul fiddausi.jazakallahu khairan

Alhamdulillahi being a Sunnah

Another example of a living interacting with those who have passed away would be prophet Isa (as) who is still alive in jannah.

This episode have too many non beneficial information for Muslims...but the previous episodes are quite good...

When you have a bad dream you should tell someone who is righteous and knows how to interpret, because it could be a warning from Allah to you. Sometimes to stop committing a certain sin. Bad dreams can be from Satan and can be from Allah. You can tell the difference because they are not the same. Why? Because in Surah Yusuf, the prisoners tell Yusuf AS their dreams and one prisoner's dream is a proper nightmare and Yusuf AS interprets it that he was going to die and what will happen afterwards. Pharoah's dream is partially a nightmare too, like cows eating cows and Yusuf AS interprets that too. So if you have a bad dream and it is meaningful do tell someone so they can interpret it for you. It might be a warning from Allah Ta'ala or a wakeup call.

I have a question- My uncle recently passed away in March, May Allah have mercy upon his soul, I saw him in a recent dream and he was telling me not to worry that he is okay. Does this dream translate that InshAllah he is actually okay?

31:50 nice to learn more

30:49 Imam Shawkani was not a zaydi shia, he was born into a family of zaydis but later adopted sunnism.

We'll get there when we get there.

mashaAllah

Assalamu alaikkum Jazakallah khair Sheikh

Salam Alaikum, Jazak Allahu Khair Br Yasir- Its a good effort to reasonout concepts. Grey areas prove human inability to reach truth without prophetic guidance. I humbly suggest , isn't it enough to stick to what's explicitly mentioned in Quran and Hadith and avoid extrapolating things just to consider our sincere thinkers and mujtahids of past and present. (More on subjects of lesser importance as there is wide acceptance on major issues of our lives.) Our theologians have done good by explaining the concepts on one side and the darker side is in a way disconnect Allah & Prophet SAS by bringing in too much of ijtihad.(extra territorial information, I mean not found in Quran Or Hadith) I like most of your lectures, life of prophet series is excellently done all 104 episodes. May Allah guide us towards truth - Wassalam Alaikum o Rahmah

Yay Aga Khani’s made it!! Lol

Dear Sir, you have been kind enough to pour light on all relating angles and tangents, as you, rightfully say and I doubt if any is left. Nonetheless I happen to across a ver practical situation where there was a disagreement amongtst the relatives of the deceased regarding the early and timely disposal and final settlement of inherited amounts and assets. Is there an mutual Islamic consensus or verdict on the fact that the asset (residential property) should also be accounted for rent, whether it is rented or lying vacant till the final succession and ultimate disposal i.e. sale of the property. And the distribution of the rental amount on the pro rata basis amongst the legal heirs. In our case, the property wasn't rented at all during the time the succession formalities were being completed and the actual sale effected, is there a provision that the monthly rental amount ascertained on fair market will be recovered from the due share of the legal heirs even if the property wasn't rented, just on assumed facts that if it was, then this would have been the approximate rental amount that would have accrued. And therefore based on this hypothetical assumption, proportionate amounts be deducted on this plea. I hope I have been able to clarify my stance. Would appreciate if you could kindly support in the matter to eradicate the confusion. Jazakallah Khairun Kaseera.

Isn't the solution just to give these "cultural innovations" its own category and name so people will understand that a certain act is simply an acceptable cultural addendum to the sunnah but not explicitly the sunnah.

Lol George Clooney's wife part was funny.

Assalamualaikum Dr. Yasir Qadhi, in your last episode of 15 Dec 2019 you talked about being a part of sadaqa jaariya. Can I please get the details?

Between them is a Barrier which they do not transgress:Surat (Ar-Rahman 55:20) Alhamdulillah

Please make a lecture about maulid and celebrating prophet Muhammad SAW birthday, asking help from prophet and great people of Islam. Shirk or thauhid

It's mentioned that the souls can meet each other and the family members are waiting in the barzakh. But we have the other famous view that the souls go up and then registered in the illiyyoon or sijjeen and then brought back to the dunya and reunited with the body in the grave. Does anyone knows how to reconcile those two points?

Dr Qadhi at what email address can one contact u? I m interested in the sadqa jaaria projects u mentioned ie schools wells etc. JazakAllah

Great video

Nice

Can you please highlight on Soofi believe on "wassup wajood" of Ibn Arabi ?

43:45 OMG i didnt know that
