The wicked beg to return to earth to accomplish the good that they had left undone during their lives. But they cannot, for, says the Qur’an, a barrier blocks their way. Many commentators take this as a literal physical barrier between hell and paradise, or between this life and the next.

This barrier (or veil) between the souls of the departed and Paradise is called Barzakh. The souls of the righteous and unrighteous remain in Barzakh until the trumpet sounds on the Last Day.

Unless they are martyrs!!!

Martyrs do not have to wait until Judgment Day. By shedding their blood for Allah they wash away all their sins and are able to skoot past Barzakh completely and immediately enter Paradise upon their last breath.

Even without the virgins, this is a strong incentive to strap on a dynamite belt and walk into a restaurant.

Thanks for the article. I'd like to see more articles posted about Islam, but I'd like to see people post articles written from a Christian perspective.
