As the soul departs the earthly realm, it embarks on a journey through the heavens towards its final destination. The stages of tawakkul are highlighted, transitioning from trusting Allah like one trusts an agent to fully surrendering like a dead body to its washer. The parallels between the soul's exit from this world and its entry into it are emphasized, emphasizing the return to a state of complete dependence. The importance of a swift burial is underscored, as the soul eagerly looks forward to its new abode based on its righteousness or lack thereof.
