Barzakh, in the dictionary, means "the barrier, veil, or separating boundary between two things." In religious terminology, it refers to "the life of the grave that begins after death and continues until the resurrection on the Day of Judgment." "And behind them is a barrier (barzakh) until the Day they are resurrected." (al-Mu’minun, 23/100) The term "Barzakh" mentioned in this verse refers to this concept. Accordingly, everyone who dies will enter the realm of barzakh.
