If there is anything contrary to it, that thing is not shown to him or her (soul in Barzakh). Such distributing things are being kept unknown for it so that it may not be come unhappy. The spirit of a Kafir (denier) sees nothing except bad and painful things about its near and dear ones.

The Ears Acquainted With The Heavenly Song Appearance Of Muhammad And Aale Muhammad (a.s.)

The main shafaa’at is the intercession by Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and the Aale Muhammad (a.s.). Rest of intercessors are branches of the main one. This is to convey that they got this privilege because of the formers. For example, among the rest of the intercessors are also the ulema (scholars) and the righteous who will help many in entering paradise. Can they ever be other than the followers of Muhammad and Aale Muhammad (a.s.)? Likewise, among the intercessors will be Momineen (faithful persons) too. The Masoom (a.s.) says that every momin will intercede n favour of a hundred persons. From where the Momineen got this honour? Only from Muhammad and Aale Muhammad (a.s.). Also for instance, the intercessors will also include the Saadaats. Have they not been given this respectable position only due to their belonging to the Holy Progeny? Similarly the Holy Quran and the Holy mosques will also intercede on the Day of Resurrection. They too are among the aasaar (symbols) of the aforesaid Holy persons. Intercession At Every Stage Student Who Became A Doctor An Indian Syed Lady And Leprosy You Will Die After Ten Days Double Life Due To Barkat OF Husain (a.s.) Our Hope Is Closely Connected With The Intercession Of The Holy Prophet Intercession Is The Anchor Of Hope, Not Of Pride A’raaf Wall Between People Of Paradise And People Of Hell One’s Noor Will Be Of No Use To Others Be Anxious About That Day’s Noor Only Today A’raaf, A Place Between Paradise And Hell Paradise, The Greatest And Everlasting Bounty True Daarus Salaam (Peaceful Resting Place) Is Paradise Names Of Heavenly Rivers Mentioned In The Holy Quran Heavenly Dresses Palaces And Precincts In Paradise Sample Of Heavenly Chambers Chairs, Carpets And Vessels In Paradise Heavenly Women And Houries Houries Are Very Far From Impurities Heavenly Women Are Much More Beautiful And Attractive The Marriage Of The Women Of Paradise Will Be Of Their Own Choice Flowers And Scents In Paradise Light In Paradise Songs And Voices In Paradise Hazrat Dawood (a.s.)

Man’s Body Will Also Become As Hard As His Heart In The Hereafter, Truth Will Overtake Appearance Is Painful Punishment Becoming Divine Justice? Self Prepared Punishment Adoration Before The Blind And Singing Before The Deaf?! What Has The Merciful To Do With Punishment?! Forcible Tawbah (Repentance) Is Useless A Short Lifespan And Permanent Punishment Eternity Will Be Based On The Intention Of Good Or Evil
