*Six (6) Years Ago!*
-----------------------------بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Six (06) years ago, "A graveyard caretaker was once asked: *"Have you ever, during your so many days in a graveyard, observed any astonishing thing?"* He said: *"Yes"*. Only the other day people brought here a body, buried it and went away. After a while, a very foul smell spread the like of which I had never known. Then all of a sudden I saw a terribly horrifying form of a black dog-like animal. The foul smell was emanating from its body. That fearsome form then came nearer and disappeared inside the aforesaid new grave and came out of the said grave after a long time. Then, after a little while, a very sweet and pleasing fragrance began to spread around the like of which also I had never felt in my life. In the mean time, I observed a very handsome form which also approached the aforesaid grave and disappeared inside the aforesaid grave. Anyway, after a few moments, that beautiful shape (form) emerged out of that grave but in a wounded and blood stained condition. I exclaimed: My Lord! Explain to me what is this all that I am observing? Who are these two kinds of forms? Then, that faithful day, (In the state of dreaming) I was informed that the good looking form was that of the good deeds done by the dead person. So also, the ugly form also was of his evil deeds. As the number of bad deeds done by the buried person was bigger than that of his good deeds, the latter (that's - bad deeds) remained with him as his companion in the grave".
My people!
Faith (eemaan) calls upon us to bring out the best in ourselves and in others. Yes. And that is why, it is crucial to be extra-clever in this world because even b4 we get to the judgement ground on the day of accountabity, there is a life of barzakh (that's - the grave). Yes. The principle concerning punishment and bliss in the grave is that they will happen to the soul.
Infact,
We will be shown our place in Paradise, in sha’ Allah, through an opening in the side of the grave.
Evidence:
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH), said, “When the believer sees how spacious his grave has become, he or she will say: Let me go back to my family to give the good news! It will be said to him: Reside where you are.” 📚Source: Musnad Ahmad 14251
Muslim Faithful!
Those who have gone to their graves before us are presently receiving the promises made by Allah (swt) on any servant who do more of good deeds or more of bad deeds.
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!
*Share to remind others*
