who is your god??
Allah Isays in His Mighty Book that He will always support His
obedient slaves:
}يُثَبِّتُ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ وَيَفْعَلُ اللّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ {
“Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word
that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on
worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the
Hereafter. And Allah will cause to go astray those who
are Dhaalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers), and
Allah does what He wills.”
[Surah Ibraaheem (14):27]
The hadeeth below concerns the questioning in the grave which
occurs as the people depart from it after burial.
Ahmad and Abu Hatim reported that Prophet r said,
When a deceased person is laid in his grave, he hears the
sound of the footsteps of people as they depart. If he is a
believer, the salaah(8) will stand by his head, the sawm(9) will
be to his right, zakaah(10) to his left, and all other good deeds
of charity, kindness to relations, and good behaviour will be
by his feet.
The angels at his head will question the deceased. The sa-
laah will say," There is no entrance through me.”
Then he will be questioned at his right side where the sawm
will say, “There is no entrance through me.”
Then he will be questioned at his left side where the zakaah
will say, “There is no entrance through me.”
Then he will be questioned at his feet where good acts of
voluntary charity, kindness to relations, and good behav-
iour will say, “There is no entrance through me.”
Then they will say to him, “Get up,” and he will get up.
The sun will appear to him and it will begin to set.
Then they will ask, “This man who was among you, what
do you say about him? What is your testimony about him?”
The man will say, “Leave me alone until I pray!”(11)
The angels will say, “You will pray, [but first] answer our
question. What do you think about this man who was
among you? What do you say concerning him? What do
you testify concerning him?”
The deceased will say, “I bear witness that Muhammad was
the Messenger of Allah who brought the Truth from Al-
lah.”
The deceased will be told, “According to this you lived,
died, and according to this you will be resurrected, if Allah
wills.”
Then the door to Paradise will be opened for him. He will
be told, “This is your place in Paradise and what Allah has
prepared for you.”
At this, the desire and happiness of the deceased will in-
crease. His grave will be enlarged seventy arms-lengths and
his grave will light up. His body will change to its original
form and his spirit will be placed in a dangling lantern by
the trees of Paradise in a nice breeze.
The Prophet radded, “That is what is meant by the statement
of Allah,
}يُثَبِّتُ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ وَيَفْعَلُ اللّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ {
“Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word
that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on
worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the
Hereafter. And Allah will cause to go astray those who
are Dhaalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers), and
Allah does what He wills.”
[Surah Ibraaheem (14):27]
He ralso mentioned the unbeliever and said,“His grave will
be compressed, so that his ribs will be crushed together.
About this the Qur'aan says,
}وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى {
‘But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e.
neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its teach-
ing), Verily, for him is a life of hardship and We will
resurrect him blind on the Day of Resurrection.’ ”
[Surah Taa Haa (20):124]
Another hadeeth depicts the consequences faced by the unbeliev-
ers. Qataadah reported on the authority of Anas ibn Maalik that
the Prophetr said,
When a human is laid in his grave and his companions re-
turn and he hears their footsteps, two angels will come to
him and make him sit up. They will ask him, “What did you
say about this man, Muhammad r?
He will say, “I testify that he is Allah’s servant and His
Messenger.”
Then it will be said to him, “Look at your place in Hellfire.
Allah has exchanged for you a place in Paradise instead of
it.”
The Prophet radded, “The dead person will see both of his
places.”
“As for a non-believer or a hypocrite, two angels will come
to him and make him sit up.
They will ask, “Who was the man who was sent on a mis-
sion among you?”
He will reply, “Alas, alas! I do not know, but I used to say
what the people used to say!”
It will be said to him, “Neither did you know, nor did you
seek guidance from those who had knowledge.”
Then a crier will call from Heaven, “He has lied, so spread
a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from it, and open one
of its doors for him.”
Then he will be hit with an iron hammer between his two
ears, and he will cry. That cry will be heard by all creation
except human beings and the Jinn. [Saheeh Bukhaari, Sa-
heeh Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood]
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said,
“I asked Abu Abdullah about the punishment in the grave.
He replied, “These are sound ahaadeeth; we believe in them
and affirm them. We affirm everything that comes from the
Prophet r with a sound chain of narrators. If we were to
confirm a report as being from the Prophet r and then re-
ject or oppose it, we would be denying the Words of Allah,
}وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ {
“Whatever the Messenger of Allah gives you,
take…”
[Surah al-Hashr (59):7]
I asked him, ‘Is the punishment of the grave a reality?’
He said, ‘Yes, it is a reality. People are punished in their
graves.’
I heard Abu Abdullah saying, ‘We believe in the punish-
ment of the grave, in Munkar and Nakeer [the two ques-
tioning angels], and that the deceased will be questioned in
their graves.’”
