In the pavement of Islamic faith, there is a place joining the earthly life to an afterlife; this place is called Barzakh. This term is derived from Arabic word meaning a barrier or partition separating two things. In Islamic theology, it implies an intermediate state where souls dwell after leaving the realm of living but before the Day of Judgment. The objective of this paper is to explore Barzakh within Islamic belief by investigating its importance, essence and consequences for the soul’s path after death.

Understanding Barzakh:Barzakh holds a significant position in Islamic eschatology which refers to the field of study on end times and life after death. After someone dies, according to Islam teachings their soul moves through various stages until the day judgement comes. In fact, Barzakh happens to be one phase whereby souls are in a stage of transition.

The Nature of Barzakh: This is an area that human beings cannot see therefore describing its nature becomes a complex task. Islamic holy books tend only to mention this space, giving little details about it hence many questions arise due to too much interpretation and thinking about it while scholars and theologians have tried offering solutions based on some Quranic verses, Hadiths (Prophet Muhammad sayings) as well as philosophical reasoning.

Since the commencement of Christianity till today, missionaries and evangelists have been instrumental in disseminating the gospel and establishing Christian communities around the globe. These efforts have shaped history and touched societies, cultures and persons across all continents. In this in-depth article, we will be exploring origin of missionary work among Christians, why these people do it, how they go about it and what stands as a result of their struggle for world Christianity.

Christian Missionary Work from Origin:Accountability for Christian mission can be traced back to the life of Jesus Christ through his teachings that made his disciples to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). One can observe that right after the crucifixion plus resurrection experiences by Jesus’ followers, they began spreading gospel messages initially within Jerusalem before extending them to Romans then farther ahead into various nations.The first Christian missionaries like Paul and his colleagues traveled long distances to preach salvation message, establish congregations, traineeships and nurture new converts. They laid a foundation upon which Christianity expanded into other cultural context beyond its Jewish roots.

Motivations of Christian Missionaries:Several things motivate Christian missionaries. They include:Faith and Obedience: Missionaries often feel obedient to Christ’s command of making disciples or Christians, to whom He had given Himself as a ransom for all. To them, this is not just doing any work but a calling and an integral facet of their identity as Christians.Compassion and Love: Many missionaries are also driven by compassion for the needy and pain relieving motives. Alongside preaching, they engage in humanitarian activities; they give medical care, education, social services and they help people in practical ways who are suffering from poverty, injustice, oppression among others.Cross-Cultural Engagement: The fact that these people belong to different nations with diverse cultures and languages makes it a pull factor to many missionaries. They aim at narrowing the gap between the cultures that would be built up on relationships that would foster understanding and respect.Transformational Impact: Many missionaries have a strong desire to bring change in individuals’ lives as well as communities. This is because they believe in gospel overcoming division among people; it restores healthiness into them leading towards hope of redemption complete transformation of life.
