Ba-Ra-Zay-Kha
a thing that intervenes between two things, a bar/obstruction that makes a separation, the interval between the present and that which is to come, from the period of the death to the resurrection, what is between doubt and certainty.

لَعَلِّي أَعْمَلُ صَالِحا ً فِيمَا تَرَكْتُ كَلاَّ إِنَّهَا كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قَائِلُهَا وَمِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ بَرْزَخ ٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
La`allī 'A`malu Şāliĥāan Fīmā Taraktu Kallā 'Innahā Kalimatun Huwa Qā'iluhā Wa Min Warā'ihim Barzakhun 'Ilá Yawmi Yub`athūna
"So that I may do good in that which I have left behind." No, it is but a word he is speaking. And there is a barrier to prevent them from going back until the Day they are all resurrected.
25:53
وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَذَا عَذْب ٌ فُرَات ٌ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاج ٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخا ً وَحِجْرا ً مَحْجُورا ً
Wa Huwa Al-Ladhī Maraja Al-Baĥrayni Hādhā `Adhbun Furātun Wa Hadhā Milĥun 'Ujājun Wa Ja`ala Baynahumā Barzakhāan Wa Ĥijrāan Maĥjūrāan
And He is the One who merges the two seas; this is fresh and palatable and this is salty and bitter. And He made between them a partition and an inviolable enclosure.
55:20
بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخ ٌ لاَ يَبْغِيَانِ
Baynahumā Barzakhun Lā Yabghiyāni
A barrier is placed between them, which they do not cross.
