Graveyard Message

 *Graveyard Message*

--------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It doesn't mean that someone who frequently remembers or talk about death is ready to or will die soon.

Also, it doesn't mean that someone who completely forgets about or talk about death will not die soon.

What matters most is living in this world 🌎 as a someone who have not completely lost focus on the journey he or she has embark on.

This reminds me,

A brother visited one of the graveyards and narrated a story of what he saw on the sign-board of that graveyard while entering the graveyard and while going out of the graveyard. Honestly speaking, the messages on that graveyard sign-board should touch every Muslim who have an ATOM of fear of Allah (swt). Yes. Guess what anybody entering and or going out of that particular graveyard will read on the graveyard sign-board:

*"We were once like you"*

*"You will soon be like us"*

😢😢

Anyone who have ever visited a graveyard for any reason will affirm that the above messages are a "true reminder" because it's a definite thing that somehow one day, we will ALL be taken to the graveyard for burial and will be left to live there alone😢. This is what makes the messages on that graveyard sign-board heart-touching.

Now,

*Hadith on the call of the grave:*

"When the believing worshipper is buried, the grave says to him: “Welcome. Indeed, to me, you are the most beloved of those who walked upon me. Since you have been entrusted to me and delivered to me today, you shall see what I have arranged for you.” It will then widen for him so that his sight extends, and a door to Jannah will be opened for him”

"When a sinner or disbeliever is buried , the grave says to him: “You are not welcome. Indeed, to me, you are the most hated of those who walked upon me. Since you have been entrusted to me and delivered to me today, you shall see what I have arranged for you.”He said: “It will begin closing in on him until his ribs are crushing each other.” 📚(See: Musnad Ahmad, vol. 2 pg. 293, vol. 3 pg. 126 and vol. 4 pg. 287. Also see Al Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 147)

No wonder!!!

"It was narrated......then there comes to him some of its fragrance, and his grave is made wide, as far as he can see. Then there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes, and a good fragrance, who says, ‘Receive the glad tidings that will bring you joy this day.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which brings glad tidings.’ He says, ‘I am your righteous deeds.’...." 📚Narrated by Ahmad (4/362)

Muslim Faithful!

All you read above are the wonders of the world of spirits which appear in such forms. This is why we must not take chances of not gathering alot of good deeds like establishing Tahajjud everyday.

But why Tahajjud?

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Indeed the first deed by which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his Swalat. If it is complete, he or she is successful, but if it is defective, he or she has failed. So, if something is deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) then Allah (swt) will say: ‘Look! Are there any voluntary (prayers) for my worshipper?’ So, with them, what was deficient in his or her obligatory (prayers) will be completed" 📚(Tirmizi)

Remember that,

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "The  best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.” 📚(Muslim)

Therefore,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil (at least 2 rakaats, then, go back to catch up with your sleep) everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so.. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
