Is the Talqeen recited for the deceased's soul or their physical body? Upon death, does our soul return to inhabit our material body and answer questions?
Talqeen is reminding the Muslim deceased about the faith fundamental matters. Talqeen is addressing both the soul and body.
'Upon death, human beings remain able to hear and think. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) addressed after Badr battle, the dead bodies of the non believers and said when he was asked that they are more able to hear than you.
'After death, we will be able to respond to the questions of the angles.
'Wassalam.
