Barzakh () is a Persian word meaning "obstacle", "hindrance", "separation", or "barrier". In Islamic eschatology, it denotes a barrier separating the world of humans (heaven, earth, underworld) from the world of spirits. It can also refer to a phase/"stage" between an individual's death and their resurrection in "the Hereafter". It is also considered as a place where souls rest until the day of judgement. It bears resemblance to the intermediate state in Christianity.
