The Souls’ Journey After Death – Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya (abridged by Layla Mabrouk)

The Souls’ Journey After Death provides a remarkable and accessible overview of what happens to the soul according to Islamic teachings. Drawing from Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya’s classical work Kitāb ar-Rūḥ, this abridged version by Layla Mabrouk describes in a clear way how the soul detaches from the body at death, what states it goes through in the “interspace,” and the relationship between the deceased and the living. It also explains how souls are questioned in the grave, how they return (or relate) to their bodies, and how they will meet Allah on the Day of Judgment — all with a deeply spiritual yet rational approach grounded in Qur’anic and Prophetic sources.

Author Description 

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya (1292–1350 CE) was a renowned medieval Islamic scholar, jurist, and theologian. His work on the soul, Kitāb ar-Rūḥ, is considered a classic in understanding Islamic conceptions of life after death.
Layla Mabrouk, a contemporary Egyptian scholar, skillfully abridges Ibn al-Qayyim’s profound writing while making it accessible to modern readers.
