Do you use coffins during funerals? And why do you not use them if the answer is no? Do people enter Paradise together, or is there a Paradise for men and another for women? Can the person I love be with me in Paradise? And do you believe in ghosts?
In the Arabic language, the word "na'sh" refers to the bier upon which the deceased is carried. A deceased Muslim is buried without a coffin or sarcophagus, except in special cases. There is no specific heaven for men and another for women in Islam; rather, the inhabitants of Paradise will rejoice in meeting their relatives. The fundamental condition for entering Paradise is belief in Islam. Therefore, whoever does not embrace Islam and dies upon another religion, their destiny is the Fire. Muslims believe in the existence of the Jinn as an independent realm with its own rulings. There is no such thing as "ghosts" separate from the world of the Jinn; whatever appears of them is either from the Jinn or mere imaginations and delusions.
