PARADISE:
23:10 - Those will be the heirs 2871
23:11 - Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (forever).
2871 Cf. xxi. 105, where it is said that the righteous will inherit the earth. In the first verse of this Sura, the final success or
victory is referred to. Truth will prevail even on this earth, but it may not be for any individual men of righteousness to
see it: it may be in the time of their heirs and successors. But in the life to come, there is no doubt that every man will
see the fruit of his life here, and the righteous will inherit heaven, in the sense that they will attain it after their death
here. (23.10)

The Abode of Souls
Some souls are in the form of green birds who roam around freely in Paradise. These are the souls of some of the martyrs,
but not all of them. The souls of some martyrs are prevented from entering Paradise on account of their debts or some other
similar thing. This is supported by a report by Ibn Hanbal in his Musnad from Muhammad ibn Abdallah ibn Jahsh that "A man
came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and asked, 'O Allah's Prophet! What would I have if I am killed in the cause of
Allah?' The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied, 'Paradise.' But, when the man got up to go, the Prophet added, 'Unless you
have some debts to pay. Gabriel has informed me about it just now'."
Some souls will be locked out at the gate of Paradise, in accordance with this hadith: "I have seen your companion locked out
at the gate of Paradise." Other souls are restricted to their graves as is evident from the hadith about the martyr who had
stolen a cloak (He had stolen it out of the spoils of war before their proper distribution) when he was killed, the people asked,
"Will he have bliss in Paradise?" The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, the cloak which
he stole causes a fire to flare over him in his grave."
The abode of others is at the gate of Paradise, as described in a hadith by Ibn 'Abbas that, "The abode of martyrs is in a
green dome, on a bright river, near the gate of Paradise. Their provision comes from Paradise in the morning and in the
evening.'' (Ahmad) This does not apply to Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, whose hands were transformed into wings, and with these he
flies wherever he wishes in Paradise.
Others remain confined to earth, for these souls cannot rise to heaven. Indeed, these are base, earthly souls which do not
mix with the heavenly souls, just as they do not mix with them during their sojourn on earth. A soul that is oblivious to its Lord,
blind to His love, negligent of His remembrance, and remiss in seeking His pleasure is a despicable earthly soul. After
separation from its body, it cannot go anywhere, but remains here. On the other hand, the heavenly soul in this life clings to
the love of Allah and to His remembrance, and seeks His pleasure and nearness. After separation from its body, it will join
other kindred heavenly souls. In the barzakh (Literally an interval, a separation or a partition, Al-barzakh may be defined as
the intervening state between death and the Last Day) and on the Day of Resurrection a person will be with those he loved.
Allah will join some souls with others in the abode of barzakh and on the Day of Resurrection, placing the believer's soul with
other pure souls, that is, other pure souls kindred to his soul. A soul, after separation from the body, joins other kindred souls
who in their nature and deeds are similar to it and stays with them.
Some souls would be thrown in an oven or a pit along with other fornicators and harlots. Other souls would be in a river of
blood, floating therein and swallowing rocks.The two categories of souls - the blessed and the damned - do not share a
similar abode, for there are souls that reside in the highest reaches of heavens, while the others, low and mean earthly souls,
cannot rise above the earth……
