In Hinduism, Vaisyas are the third of the four varnas, or social classes. They are traditionally associated with  agriculture, trade and commerce.  

There is something remarkable about a 700-verse Sanskrit dialogue, composed over two thousand years ago on the eve of a great battle, that continues to find its way into the boardrooms, morning routines, and mental frameworks of some of the world's most accomplished entrepreneurs and investors. The Bhagavad Gita — a conversation between the warrior-prince Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra — is ostensibly a text about duty, action, and the nature of the self. But embedded within its philosophical depth is a strikingly practical manual for navigating uncertainty, leading people, managing the mind, and building something of lasting value.

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.
