Q
How does the concept of the dead hearing relate to the understanding of life after death in Islam?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, “Have
you found true what your lord promised you?” Then he further said, “They now hear what I say.” This
was mentioned before `Aisha and she said, “But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Now they know very well that what
I used to tell them was the truth.’ Then she recited (the Holy Verse):– “You cannot make the dead
hear… …till the end of Verse).” (30.52)
