5. Its c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the body during the Day <strong>on</strong> which bodies will be<br />

resurrected. It is the most inclusive c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> between the body <strong>and</strong><br />

the soul, <strong>and</strong> it cannot be compared <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the aforementi<strong>on</strong>ed kinds of<br />

c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong>, for it is a kind ofc<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with which the body cannot be<br />

dead, asleep or decayed<br />

2) T<strong>on</strong>nent <strong>and</strong> Pleasure in the Grave<br />

The opini<strong>on</strong> of the Salaf (early <strong>Muslim</strong> scholars) <strong>and</strong> scholars of the<br />

<strong>Muslim</strong> nati<strong>on</strong> is that when some<strong>on</strong>e dies, he is either in <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment or pleasure<br />

which is experienced by both his body <strong>and</strong> his soul. They agree that the soul<br />

of the deceased feels pleasure or suffers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment after being separated from<br />

the body. The soul is sometimes joined <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the body <strong>and</strong> feels the pleasure or<br />

suffers the <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment. The Adherents ofthe Sunnah <strong>and</strong> <strong>Muslim</strong> Community<br />

agree that the soul feels pleasure or suffers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment while it is separated from<br />

the body <strong>and</strong> also feels pleasure or suffers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment while it is joined with<br />

the body. Thus, the soul <strong>and</strong> the body may feel the pleasure or the <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>gether; <strong>and</strong> the soul may feel either of them while it is separated from the<br />

body. However, can the body feel the pleasure or suffer the <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rment without<br />

being joined with the soul? There are two different opini<strong>on</strong>s, c<strong>on</strong>cerning<br />

this issue, adopted by the people of HadUh <strong>and</strong> Sunnah, <strong>and</strong> the people of<br />

Scholastic Theology.<br />
