Souls in Aalam-e-Arwaah

· 14 Rajab 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have heard from many people that our souls were already created and we had met in a place only Allah knows, long before we were born. Is it true? And what hadith and Quraan says about it?

Answer

Yes, this is true. Before coming into this world the souls were in Aalam-e-arwaah (the plain of the souls).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
