In Islam there are seven levels of heaven and there's one layer of hell with seven gates and they're

connected by this bridge that all people at resurrection have to cross and metal hooks

will come and kind of knock off those who are evil into the pits and those who are good

will make it to heaven.

It's not to say they might not be punished.

There is though before resurrection, this purgatory like place called Barzach,

and Barzach is an intermediate state where believers and unbelievers

wait. This is begins even before that with a process of questioning in the grave about the deeds of life and certain angels are sent to question you in your grave and weigh your deeds.

And you can receive torments while you're in the grave

even before you get to this intermediate position

or walk the bridge. Welcome back to the Exorcist Files, an earful of earnest edification of the

ethereal and all things spiritual. I am your co-host Ryan Bethay and today

we will be continuing our supernatural sojourn into the unseen realm through an entirely different lens.

Oh, do I have your attention now?

What sorcery is this you ask?

Well regular listeners know we have have 100% zero sorcery policy.

So to all you sorcerers out there, don't do it.

We warned you, big no-no.

Now, before I tell you about the special spiritual detour, I do need to make a few announcements.

Hey Brian, hello!

Father!

Well, look who it is! Father Martins!
