Pre-existence and Creation

Before our existence on earth, our souls resided in two realms: the realm of pre-existence (Al-Mafr) and the realm of graves (Al-Mal-Barzah). These realms are both shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by blessed decree or deeds. Every individual's story is meticulously recorded in heavenly tablets, detailing from grand historical events to the most minute emotions.
