The narrations speak of the grave as a garden of paradise for the believers and that it is extended and expanded for them. It is the same material grave in which we bury the dead body?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is the same grave which the dead believer buried in. He feels and enjoys the paradise bounties even if his physical body turns to soil but he remains in his soul and spirit feels the happiness.

'Wassalam.
How can we reconcile Imam Sadiq's (a) concern for the Shia in Barzakh with the narrations that state there is no questioning in the grave except for the total Mumin and total Kafir?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Barzakh is the world after this life and before the day of Qiyamah. Pious believers who avoided sinful acts will enjoy peaceful life in Barzakh and their graves will be gardens from the Paradise. Believers who did not avoid sinful acts and died before full repentance and forgiveness from their sins, will meet the results of their sins in the Brazakh, so the punishment in Barzakh for those believers who did commit many sinful acts and did not seek forgiveness till they died. It is not for all believers.

May Allah The Most Merciful and Most Compassionate Protect us from sinning and the bad consequence of sins in this life and after it in Barzakh in the Day of Judgment.

Will we come back to life in our graves to be questioned by Munkar and Nakeer?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes in fact when we die we remain able to hear that’s why Talqeen is recited with loud voice to make the dead person listen and when we are in our grave the angels will come and question us about our faith. The grave of the pious believer will be a garden from the paradise while the grave of the non believer or a sinner will be a dig from hell fire.

Will we come back to life in our graves to be questioned by Munkar and Nakeer?
Amina Inloes

It seems that, after we die, we just detach from the physical body and move on to the barzakh life, which includes questioning in/around the grave by Munkar and Nakir. So we do not lose awareness (or "die") before that happens; we just shed the physical body and possibly move into some type of body appropriate for the barzakh. 

Rather, after we have lived in the barzakh, we "die" and are woken up/resurrected for the final judgment, which is not carried out by Munkar and Nakir. 

Anyway, we will find out.
