My dear father passed away a month ago-where is his soul now?

Assalamu alaikum, I’ve been struggling so much since my father returned to Allah a month ago. I keep asking myself, where is he now? Does he feel any pain? Can he see me or our family? Is his soul somehow still with us? I’m only 18 and I really needed his guidance. He was such a righteous man, always doing good deeds and never missing his prayers. I miss him terribly, and I often wonder if he’s watching over me. What does Islam teach about where the soul goes after death? I just wish I could know he’s at peace, in Jannah, insha’Allah.

Wa alaikum assalam, sis. I know it's hard, but remember that the souls of the righteous are in a blessed state. They are in 'Barzakh' and can receive rewards from our duas. Make dua for him constantly, it brings peace.

Oh hun, my heart breaks for you. My dad passed two years ago and I still ask these questions. The scholars say the soul is in the grave, experiencing either peace or torment. Your dad sounds like he's in bliss, insha'Allah. Stay strong.

Insha'Allah he's in a garden of paradise. My teacher said the souls of believers meet each other in Barzakh, so maybe he's already with his loved ones. Don't overthink-just keep loving him through your duas.

May Allah grant him Jannah and give you sabr. The soul can hear when we visit the grave, some say they know our state. Keep doing sadaqah on his behalf, it's like a gift reaching him directly.
