Editing Limbo (section)

===Islam===
In [[Islam]], which denies the existence of original sin in totality, the concept of Limbo exists as {{transliteration|ar|[[Barzakh]]}}, the state that exists after death, prior to the day of resurrection. During this period, sinners are punished and the adequately purified rest in comfort. Children, however, are exempt from this stage, as they are regarded as innocent and are automatically classed as Muslims (despite religious upbringing). After death, they go directly to Heaven, where they are cared for by Abraham.<ref>[http://www.sahih-bukhari.com/Pages/Bukhari_9_88.php Al-Bukhary, Volume 9, Book 88, Number 171]</ref> According to [[Christian Louis Lange]], Islam also possesses a {{transliteration|ar|al-aʿrāf}} (cf. Q.7:46) "a residual place or limbo" situated between heaven and hell where there is "neither punishment nor reward".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lange|first1=Christian|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1163/j.ctt1w8h1w3.7|title=Locating Hell in Islamic Traditions|publisher=[[Brill Publishers|BRILL]]|year=2016|isbn=978-90-04-30121-4|editor=Christian Lange|page=14|language=en|chapter=Introducing Hell in Islamic Studies|jstor=10.1163/j.ctt1w8h1w3.7 |ref=CLLHiIT}}</ref>
