Why was I not created in a different time period? How does God determine in which age each soul should come to this world?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah's Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy determine which age, country, place, family ,father, mother, etc each one should come to this world.

We believe in His Absolute Wisdom and Mercy and thank Him that created us in the age, place, family from which He created us. Allah says in Quran ( Your Lord Creates whatever He Wills and Choose, no choice have they) Sura 28, Verse 68.

Is the soul immortal, and if so, to what extent does it have immortality?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Soul is taken back to Allah when we die. (IT IS ALLAH WHO TAKES BACK THE SOULS AT THE TIME OF ITS DEATH) (Sura 39, Verse 42.

Our soul remains alive after our body dies. Souls of the believer will feel and enjoy the great Mercy of Allah, while souls of the enemies of Allah will suffer the results of their bad deeds. Sura al-Waqi'ah, Verses 89, 90, 91, 92 , 93 and 94. Our souls remain able to listen as we do Talqeen to the dead during and after burial. It is recommended for us to call the dead in their graves saying to them: Salaam upon you, O people of LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH, how did find LAA ILAHA ILLALLAH.
