Meeting one’s family members after demise
Question
I’d like to know that if I’m buried in Azaadville and my loved ones are in Lenasia, will I still be able to meet my loved ones in the world of the Barzakh?
Answer
Yes, it is recorded in a narration that when one passes away, then all the deceased relatives and family meet the Mayyit, and he/she is most pleased with them, and they are more pleased with him than a traveller that comes to his family. Hence, the Mayyit will meet his, or her, relatives even though they may be buried in different places.
