What happens after we die? – Assim Al Hakeem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJKIrlYsVi8>

My question is regarding the souls of righteous people after death. Is it in the Illiyyeen or in the body in the grave? Is the soul returned to the body in the grave only for the questioning? Actually, there are many hadith and I am not able to figure out what our belief regarding soul after death should be. Some hadith say it is sent back to earth from heavens. Other says in Illiyyeen.

In our home country when someone dies, their family members arrange a majlis, recite Qur’an, make dua after 3 days and 40 days. I know it’s not the part of our religion but do we attend it if they call us to attend? What should be our attitude then?

In our culture a lot of people practice innovations such as holding gatherings 3,7 and 40 days after a person’s death.Is it permissible to attend these gatherings if family members force you to attend or not attending will cause strained relations with one’s relatives?
