When a believer dies, he sees his place in Paradise and is given glad tidings of it. Then his soul enjoys bliss in Paradise until it returns to his body on the Day of Resurrection. The bliss and torment of the grave are for both the soul and the body together, and this is a matter of the Unseen, the full reality of which is not completely comprehended. This bliss in the does not mean the perfection of enjoyment, which will be attained on the Day of Resurrection upon entering Paradise with both the soul and the body.
