PII u should not feel a bit embarrased . We are here to do our job as required to Alalh, since u r seeking knowledge. We must give. Alhamdulelah that was useful. I dont claim any credit in this, It is all from and to Allah S&T.
Now as far as the waiting area, it has nothing to do with the catholic concept of purgetory. That is totally a different topic which may take us out of this. I am more than ready to explain it if u wish so.
However, this waiting area is part of the unknown. We only know that it is just a sort of a time zone. Souls wait there till the Day of Resurrection, when we will all be called to return to our bodies to resurrect and face the truth PII.
As for a good person but not believing in Prophet Mohamed salla Allah A`alyhee wa sallam. And Allah Knows best they receive their reward here in this life, or else Allah Wont Be Fair and He is the Just. But on the Day After, that is it. Allah Allowed them every chance to learn, Allah Didnt hide info from them, Sent them Prophets and Messengers, Explained to them. Allah Was also so Patient with them, He didnt clap down the skies on them. U simply dont know how much Allah Is eager for all of us to believe.
Any way not to go off topic. They receive their reward here in this life, but can not go to heavens.
Most welcome Peace and ready for more if u wish...
