298. A dead person’s spirit never returns to this world.
Verse (23:100) of the Quran says, once a person departs this world, there is no connection between him and this world, and an invisible barrier is erected in between the person and this world.
This verse serves as a strong warning and rebuttal to those, praying to the dead , worshipping the dead , demanding needs from the dead, presenting votive offerings to the dead,etc;.
When it is declared that an invisible screen is created, between the dead and this world, would mean the dead can never come to know the happenings in this world.
When the dead can never be aware of happenings in this world, they can never be of help to anyone is the truth.
Please refer to explanation point 79, for more details on this.
