The souls of
the dead may be divided into the following two categories: (a) favoured souls
(those of pious believers) and (b) punished souls (those of sinful believers
and disbelievers). The souls of the second group are confined to places of
punishment and are too preoccupied with torments of the grave to be able to
meet or visit each other. However, the blessed and favoured souls of the pious
believers are free to roam and meet. They may visit and discus with each other
their previous existence on earth. In the barzakh, every soul will be
with companions of like nature.[1]
The following
text is a direct reference and clear proof that, in general, the souls of pious
believers are able to meet and converse with each other: Abu Hurayrah reported
that Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Verily, the
souls of the believer [after death] soars up to the heavens, whereupon the
souls of other believers come to it, seeking news about those they know from
the people of the earth.”[2]
