Now You Can Fly | The Other Side: Barzakh and Beyond Ep. 12

March 11, 2025Dr. Omar Suleiman

Have you ever dreamed of flying—of soaring freely, untethered by the weight of this world? In the Barzakh, you finally can. Your soul will leave behind the constraints of the body, taking form according to the life you lived.

The martyrs will rise as radiant green birds, gliding beneath the Throne of Allah, sustained by the fruits of Paradise. The believers will perch among the trees of Jannah, flying to the places their hearts were once connected to. But the wicked will fall, snatched away like crows, dragged into the depths of Sijjeen.

When the time comes, will you fly toward the heavens, or will you be cast into the darkness below?

NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are purely conceptual and only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.

  1. Sufyan at-Thawri said, “‘Amr ibn Qays is the one who disciplined me. He taught me the recitation of the Qur’an and the laws of inheritance. I would look for him at his shop. If I did not find him there, I would find him in his home standing in prayer or reciting the Qur’an, as if he were hastening before something slipped away from him. If I did not find him in his home, I would find him in one of the masjids of Kufa, sitting in a corner while crying in a way that gave the impression he had stolen something (and hence he was hiding). If I did not find him there, I would find him at the cemetery, sitting and lamenting over himself.
