Question:
Salam alaykum Syed I hope you are in the best of health InshaAllah. I have a number of questions, which I hope that you can offer your advice on. They are mostly all related to death and I will list them below: 1) Is it possible for a person to have knowledge that they are going to die? Taking into consideration that they do not have any life threatening illness. 2) Can you please explain barzakh? The time between death and resurrection. If someone has lived a pious life and followed all the wajibats, what is barzakh for them? 3) I once heard that when we are asleep and see a dream, the events we see are actually taking place, and our soul leaves our body while we are dreaming. Is this true? - If our soul leaves our body during a dream, and we see a loved one who has passed away, and we converse with them, is this actually happening, or is it just memories that we see, or is it imagination? 4) One a person has died and their body is buried, is that person still present in our life, such as are they able to see their family and their progresses? 5) I have heard about certain Amal we can do in order to see our parents who have passed away. Can you please advise the procedure for doing this. 6) What other things, aside from surah Yasin, ziyarat ashura and visiting of the grave, can we do in order to make the soul of our loved one happy and help for their hereafter. Please accept my apologies for such a long message. With duas Mazaher Karim

A6) Performing all their dues e.g. Salat, fasting , Khums, Haj , any loans
or rights of others on them.
Charity on behalf of the deceased is very helpful to him as well as
Istighfaar and Salawaat.

Question:
Salaam alaikum Is it possible for the dead to be able to communicate with us? Because I have heard someone say that they are able to communicate with a woman who is now dead and she helps them in this world. Is this possible?
Answer:
No, it is not true. Dead is in another world which called Barzakh and no
one from us can communicate with Barzakh nor Barzakh people can come back
to this life.
Wassalam.
