Navaid Aziz – Journey of the Soul After Death

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Navaid Aziz takes the audience through a detailed and moving account of the journey of the soul after death, drawing on authentic ahadith to describe what happens to both the believing and disbelieving soul — from the moment of death through the ascent to the heavens, the return to the grave, and the questioning by Munkar and Nakir. He also covers specific punishments awaiting those who committed sins such as neglecting the Quran, spreading lies, fornication, dealing in interest, and failing to maintain ritual purity. The lecture opens with a discussion of the three pillars of worship — love, hope, and fear — framing the entire topic as a necessary corrective to an imbalance in how contemporary Muslims approach their faith.
