Araf, Al
[the partition]. A region, according to the Koran,
between Paradise and Jehennam, for those who are neither morally good
nor bad, such as infants, lunatics, and idiots. The inmates of Al Araf
will be allowed to converse with the blessed and the cursed; to the
former this region will appear a hell, to the latter a heaven.
(See Limbo.)
