Some of the candidates who attempted the question failed to buttress their points with Qur’anic references. Some of the points they did not mention include the fact that no one knows when, where and how one will die (Q31:34); life after death is known as Haya¯t al-Barzakhiyyah Q. 23:99 – 100); the Barzakh is a period of hibernation
in a dormancy period inside the grave till the Day of Resurrection and that the situation on this Day would be that of fear and confusion (Q22:1-2). However, a few of the candidates only defined death, resurrection and judgement. In all, candidates recorded a good performance as far as the question is concerned.
