Can we make contact with the dead
-
Salam. This question is phrased in a vague manner. My issue is with the use of the term "dead" Allow me to explain. Based on my reading of the Quran I have come to the understanding that Allah identifies two types of death. The first type of death is the death of the body. The second type of death is the death of the spirit. I understand that with the first type of death, the dead body will be resurrected on the day of judgment. I further understand that in the case of the second type of death, death of the spirit, there will be no resurrection on the day of judgment.
That said, the question devolves into an understanding of the power of Allah. If Allah wills, we can make contact with the dead. Nothing is beyond Allah's power. Allah hu akbar.
There is a valid concern on the part of forum members, that the question may derive from grief from the loss of a loved one. Please recall that Allah advises us, he who has faith in Allah no fear is on them nor shall they grieve.

Salaam nerspi. Allah has appointed a yowm e qiyaamat/day of judgment for mankind. Allah has stated that on this day each person will be judged according to his hukum and hudood.
The hudood of Allah are that either a person is raised up on that day judged to be righteous and granted jannat/heaven, or they are raised up on that day judged to be wrongdoers and sent to jahannum/hell, or they are judged on that day to have violated the hudood for which destruction/azaab is the punishment and they are destroyed. Allah is mighty judge.
This is the only conclusion I know of that includes all the Quranic references. May Allah forgive me if I make a mistake.The belief of an atheist that they will not be raised up on the day of judgment is a self fulfilling prophecy. Thats what they wish for thats what they will get. Allah is not in the least bit unjust.

I agree with Arnold. Actually, the verses are non specific. So, anyone you call on besides God cannot hear you or respond, etc etc.
That would include "the dead" or statues or what ever else a person may call on besides God.
If you are meant to acquire this knowledge God will give it to you. But I would suggest asking him for it.
Salam,
ArnabPeace,
But what about the Angels? can we call on them? I mean if they assists God then they can assist us too!?

Peace to All
Allah the All-Wise makes it crystal clear in his Book that the dead cannot hear... If you keep pursuing this way, then you will simply be defying the Almighty's words..
"Verily you cannot make the dead hear and you can not make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and retreat."
"The living and the dead are not alike. Allah makes whoever he wishes hear, but you cannot make those in the graves hear."
This is very clear... Hopefully this case can be closed... At least for me
Allah guides whom He wills...
