Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawzee has said this, that the soul now will travel and different souls have different stations. If it's a bad soul, then it will go to Sijjeen. A place called Sijjeen. A lowly place where all these souls are being punished. Or it will stay in the grave, it depends on Allah. But it will not leave this world. It may stay even on this Earth. Sometimes a soul may not be punished, but it's not a good soul. Allah will not allow it to go above the universe. That explains to us the theory of all these ghosts and other things that sometimes they say a person passed away and then they saw a figure looking like him on the Earth. It may explain that, Allah knows best. But Imam Ibn Al-Jawzee said some souls don't leave this Earth. But if your are a good soul. The soul basically gets to station above.
What happens here is that Allah will put the soul into Illyeen. If you want to read about this. Read Chapter number 83 Surah of the Qur'an. Mutaffiffin. Where the soul will go into. It depens how high it is. Either Allah will just put it in the Illyeen. Now what happens in the Illyeen? One hadith describes this, when all this has happened in the grave then Allah SWT allows the soul to be raised and it goes to Illyeen. When it's coming to Illyeen, your family members, my family members if we're good souls they will start to ask Illyeen : Who is it? Who is it? And it says so and so, the son of so and so. Your father, your grandfather, your forefather, whoever they are. They will basically come to the front of the doors of Illyeen. They will open their arms to receive you. La illaha Ilallah. There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah. And you will come and they will grab hold of you. They will hug you. If only we're good souls.
And they will say, according to the narration coming from our Prophet's mouth SAW, they will say :
How is so and so in the world?
How is your son?
How is your sister? How is so and so?
I left them. What is the greatest news going on in the world?
And they will embrace you and bring you into Illyeen.
Now that's a high station. But Imam Ibn Al-Qayyin Al-Jawzee said within Ilyyeen there are stages. You can be in a very high stage in Illyeen or you can be in the middle or you can be in a low stage. Depending on your state. If you go to a very high stage. You have got a lot more room to move around. Allah may give you consent to go around the other heavens. Allah may give you to visit this world and go back. Especially the martyr. In a authentic narration in Muslim. The one who is a syaheed. Allah will put their soul into a green bird. And it's clear, the messenger of Allah saw said that green bird will roam around the heavens. Will go over Jannah, look at Jannah, fly over Jannah, will go and sit at one of the lanterns next to the Throne of Allah AWJ.
That's the width Allah has given to the martyr and then Allah JWA will ask it and say : O soul, is there anything more that I can give to you? And the soul will say Ya Allah. There is one thing more I want. What? O Allah the way I died. I want to go back. Become alive. And let me die the way I died. And then take my soul away. That syaheed was dying and watches his soul, you know that thrill inside. You know that peace. You know that happiness. That joy was so much that first instant when they saw the angels coming and taking them. That is the most joyous time and they want that back. So they say O Allah. Take me back. Let me go through the same death and take me back. Let me go through the same death and take me back. According to one narration, the soul will say to Allah 10 times. Allah SWT will say I can give you anything oh soul but I can't send you back to the Earth. So this bird is basically roaming around in the heavens.
There is a station above this. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzee said, and this is all from narrations. He says that's the station of the Anbiyaa. The station of the Prophets. And he give a proof and the dalil is very clear. When Rasulullah SAW went to mikraj the night journey. He went to Masjidil Aqsa. Who did he see there? The Prophets. These were not the Prophets in their bodily form. They were Prophets in the form of their souls. In a authenthic narration from Muslim. Prophet SAW was passing over the grace of Moses pbuh and he saw Musa AS praying in his grave. Another sahih hadith the messenger of Allah saw according to Muslim. He was in the sixth heaven and he saw Musa AS. Musa AS was the one who told him : Go back ad tell your lord to take this 50 salahs down until it was 5 daily salahs. Yes or no? How did he see Musa AS in his grave? Musa AS in Masjidil Aqsa and he saw Musa AS up in the sixth heaven in the same night? These are all sahih narrations. How? This is the extent of the Anbiyaa. The Anbiyaa have the greatest, greatest travelling that they can do. According to the good actions, the soul has a connection with the body.
The better the good soul, the stronger the good soul, the more intact the body will remain. Wow hypothesis is accepted. That is why the Prophet SAW said, when the body of Anbiyaa are put in the graves. The graves do not deteriorate their bodies. Their bodies are absolutely intact. In fact, some martyrs, some people who are martyrs. They have dugged their graves. And like the person has died hundred of years back. They dug it and they looked inside and they saw this person as if he was burried today. Not a single hair has been removed from their body or has been deteriorated from their body. Subhanallah. And that is what? That is because of the good actions. But if it's a bad soul, then the body will deteriorate by the grave itself. The punishment that person gets from Sijjeem. The soul gets it. But the body also feels it. This is our belief. The body feels it as well as the soul feels it but mainly it is given to the Ruh. The same way when we get a good blessing in the next life. The body will feel good blessing in the next life as well as the soul but mainly to the soul this will all be given.
Jazakumullahu khairan kathira
