The grave
The Deen Show مع Hammadhen Gudal Bakal و7 آخرين.
The grave is such a scary place where all of us will end up visiting one day. Reflecting over this reality should wake us up from our deep sleep and help us to disconnect more from this Dunya and connect us more with the Hereafter along with motivating us to do more good deeds that we can take with us when we visit the grave.
The Messenger of God (Sallellahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: "Three (things) follow a dead person to the grave:
1. Members of his family,
2. His property
3. And his deeds.
Two of them return;
And one remains with him.
The people and his wealth return;
HIS DEEDS REMAIN WITH HIM".
[AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM]
COMMENTARY:
This Hadith has a warning for the Muslims that they should adopt the way of piety and fear (of Allah), not of sin and impiety because those are actions which will go with him to the grave and which decide his fate in the life after death.
If he carries with him good deeds, he will have a comfortable sojourn in Barzakh (the intervening stage between death and Resurrection). On the contrary, if the record of his life is devoid of good deeds, all the wealth that he leaves behind, even if it is beyond calculation, will be of no avail to him because what he will be having with him will be the bad deeds which he performed during his life. These bad deeds will be a constant source of torture for him during his stay in Barzakh.

May Allah the Almighty Creator help us to be prepared for that scary day.
