Division of people into different groups during the transmission of soul to the purgatory
According to the koranic verses, during the transmission of soul before Resurrection, people will be divided into three different groups:
Thus if he is one of those who are drawn close (56/88)
[He will have] contentment, fragrance, and a grader of bliss (56/89)
While if he is one of the companions on the Right: (56/90)
“Peace be upon you” [will be the greeting] from the companions on the Right (56/91)
However if he are of the mistaken rejectors (56/92)
A welcome of scalding water (56/93)
Plus a roasting in Hades [will await him] (56/94)
This is the absolute Truth (56/95)
So celebrate your Lords almighty (56/96)
O Tranquil soul! (89/27)
Return to you Lord well pleased and pleasing [him] (89/28)
Enter among My servants (89/29)
And enter My garden (89/30)
It is inferred from these verses that life will definitely exist in the Purgatory.
