A Tortureless Grave

A grave, even if there were no torture in it, is a terrifying home. It is loneliness, dreariness, darkness, and tightness incarnated. Prophet Muhammad, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said: “These graves are enclosed, upon the people inside them with darkness, and Allah fills them with light through my prayers for them.”[1]

I pray to you The Almighty to bless, and save your slave and Prophet Muhammad. I pray to you to save me, along with my brothers, the believers from grave’s torture. I pray to you to fill our graves with light, and to save us from blasphemy after you have already showed us the right path and lead us to Islam.

Not a single believer but will be welcomed with a hug and a squeeze. Muhammad, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said, referring to Sae`d Ibn Maa`athe: “This is the one to whom the throne has shaken, and the gates of the skies have opened, and who was witnessed by seventy thousand angels, he was hugged [2][2], then released.”[3]

Therefore, if this is the case with Sae`d Ibn Maa`athe, the man of a high authority and recognition of The Aus [4], and the leading in belief, whose accomplishments are unaccountable, and to his death Allah’s throne has shaken, then how about anybody else.

The believer, the non-believer, and the hypocrite are all treated in the grave according to their deeds. Moreover, the barzakh[5] life is a full life, with all the feelings, and the senses that are of life before death; there is happiness, delight, and anticipation for a better situation, and there is also sadness, calamity, pain, and suffering.
