The soul and death..

[MuslimGirl1]

Salam brothers and sisters.

Is a person's soul concious after it gets pulled out from the persons body? Thats been on my mind for a while now. Does the soul know whats happening and can it see and hear everything around it or is it just blank?

^Thanks for that but isn't there a text that explains this, like I just want to know whether the soul is concious(sp?)and can see everything around it?

:sl: sister,

I recently came across this passage in Martin Lings' 'Muhammad: His life based on the earliest sources' that may be of interest to your question. On page 151, Lings is describing the muslims victory in the Battle of Badr. He says:

As soon as it became clear that the eight hundred or more Meccan troops still at large had been routed beyond possibility of rallying, the Prophet sent 'Abd Allah ibn Rawahah to take the good tidings of victory to the people of Upper Medina, that is, the more southerly part of the city, and he sent Zayd to the people of Lower Madine. He himself remained with the army at Badr; and that night went and stood by the pit into which the bodies of the enemies of Islam had been thrown. "O men of the pit," he said, "kinsmen of your Prophet, ill was the kinship ye showed him. Liar ye called me, when other took me in; against me ye fought, when other helped me to victory. Have yet found it to be true, what your Lord promised you? I have found it to be true, what my Lord promised me." Some of Companions overheard him and wondered at his speaking to dead bodies. "your hearing of what I say is not better than theirs," he said, 'But they cannot answer me."

The author cites Ibn Ishaq 454.

I wondered myself if this meant the dead have a consciousness but cannot communicate with the living.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated :Crescent:

Thats a great passage. I read somewhere too that the soul of a person can communicate with animals and jinn but not with humans. I think only great scholars would have the answer to this but what I'm wondering is that like a persons soul, is that THAT person, just in the form of his soul? I'm sorry if it makes no sense but I can't explain it any better. Like the soul of the person, is it the person just in soul-form, like they can talk and everything but there just as a soul?

Such narrations were wrong statements attributed to Prophet(saww).
Aisha(r.a) corrected such false statements attributed to Prophet in following hadees:-

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 317:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, "Have you found true what your lord promised you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say." This was mentioned before 'Aisha and she said, "But the Prophet said, 'Now they know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth.' Then she recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead hear... ...till the end of Verse)." (30.52)


Quran:30:52:-
So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away.
