Punishment In Graves (Azabe Qabar)
We’re not sure whether those who start receiving torment after death only include those who were the direct addresses of prophets. It could include others who lived their entire lives denying the truth, but it’s best not to guess. As far as whether the punishment will be physical or not, again what we know with certainty from the Quran is that they will be shown their final destination on a daily basis, and that within itself is punitive.
Thanks much for clarification
