The interval between death and resurrection is a world between the present material world and the day of judgment starting from death to the time of the day of judgment.
The holy Quran and the holy Imams’ narrations are stating about it and giving news about the affairs which will happen for human beings there. As the holy Quran has considered the interval between death and resurrection as the world before the promised day of judgment:
“«… وَمِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ بَرْزَخٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ” (مؤمنون/۱۰۰)
“… and behind them is a barrier until the day when they are raised.” [Al-Muminun/100]
Consequently, the holy Imams (peace be upon them) have introduced the interval between death and resurrection as a divide between this world and the futurity.[1]
While Ali Muhammad Shirazi (Bab), as the leader of Babism and Baha’ism cult has deviated the interval between death and the day of judgment contrary to the holy Quran texts and narrations and believes that:
“Barzakh means the interval between the emergence of the prophets not what is known among people about living after death.[2]”
Yes, we can observe that the false leaders resort to deviating the verses and narrations to justify their forged prophethood and to display their roots to be non-divine!
