Is the soul aware of what is happening after death?

Q: My father died 2 days ago, he was not really a pious man. He died because the required doctor didn't reach on time to treat him. My father is in Sudan. I have 2 questions,

1. Does the soul of my father know what he is going through after his burial?

2. Will Allah reward him because he died because of negligence of the doctor?

A:

1. Obviously.

2. For patience and perseverance there is a magnificent reward.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
