What are the stages of a Muslim's life from the moment of death until the end of the life in Barzakh, including the departure of the soul, seeing one's place in the Hereafter, the questioning by the two angels, the compression of the grave, its blessings or torment, the trials of the grave, the personification of deeds, and the ascent and descent of the soul?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified the stages a human being passes through—whether Muslim or disbeliever—from the moment of death throes until settling in their final abode. This was mentioned in many narrations, among them the hadith of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with them both.
