Can the dead see the living, by analogy with angels and jinn seeing humans without humans seeing them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

When a person dies, their قیامت (Resurrection/Day of Judgment) begins. The dying person sees the Angel of Death and his assistants. After death, they see Munkar and Nakir, who question them in the grave. One must believe in what the texts indicate, and leave what is beyond that to Allah. There is no evidence to suggest that the deceased sees jinn. A Muslim should strive for what benefits them and avoid delving into what does not bring them benefit, and they should fill their time with contemplation and reflection.
