is the name given by the Mohammedans to the time and condition of the soul between death and tlie resurrection. The souls of the believers partake, even in this state, of a part of the blessedness to follow; on the other hand, the souls of the unbelievers are banished to the place of punishment, the seventh heaven. The souls of the prophets go directly into Paradise; the martyrs, however, live in the bodies of beautiful green birds, which eat of the fruit of the trees of Paradise.
