Souls in Aalam-e-Arwaah
Question
I have heard from many people that our souls were already created and we had met in a place only Allah knows, long before we were born. Is it true? And what hadith and Quraan says about it?
Answer
Yes, this is true. Before coming into this world the souls were in Aalam-e-arwaah (the plain of the souls).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
