And between the companions of Paradise and the companions of the Fire is a great barrier called Al-A'raf, and upon this barrier are men who recognize the people of Paradise and the people of the Fire by their signs, like the whiteness of the faces of the people of Paradise, and the blackness of the faces of the people of the Fire, and these men are a people whose good deeds and evil deeds were equal they hoping for the mercy of Allah the Exalted. And the men of Al-A'raf called the people of Paradise with the greeting saying to them: Peace be upon you, and the people of Al-A'raf have not entered the Paradise yet, while they hope for its entry.
