Summary
The realm of barzakh is the realm that humans pass through after death. Linguistically, barzakh means a barrier between two things, and this realm separates the worldly life from the hereafter. According to the explanation of Imam al-Ghazali cited in the fatwa, death is a change in the condition of the soul from full control over the body to losing that control.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Alam barzakh adalah alam yang dilalui oleh manusia setelah meninggal dunia. Barzakh dari sudut bahasa adalah pemisah antara dua benda.
