blue_dew 0 Posted January 9, 2006 :D Firstly, when a person dies and his soul departs and he is placed in his grave, then he is in the first stage of the Hereafter, because the grave is the first of the stages of the Hereafter. **It was narrated that Haani’ the freed slave of ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan said: when ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affaan stood by a grave he would weep until his beard became wet. It was said to him, “You remember Paradise and Hell and you do not weep, but you weep because of this?†He said, “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The grave is the first of the stages of the Hereafter; whoever is saved from it, whatever comes afterwards will be easier for him, but if he is not saved from it, what comes afterwards will be worse for him.’†And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have never seen any scene but the grave is more frightening than it.†(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2308; Ibn Maajah, 4567; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1684). ** Secondly, the two angels who are charged with questioning come to him and ask him what he used to believe in in this world, who was his Lord, what was his religion and who was his Prophet. If he gives a good answer, that is good, but if he does not answer them they inflict a severe and painful beating on him. If he was one of the righteous, angels with white faces come to him, but if he was one of the evildoers, angels with dark faces come to him. This is the fitnah or tribulation that he suffers.

But most of the blessing or torment will come to their souls which remain, either in a state of blessing or a state of torment. The soul of the believer will go to Paradise; the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The soul of the believer is a bird which hangs from the trees of Paradise, eating their fruits; the soul of the kaafir goes to Hell.†(www.)"you can't post links until you reach 50 posts_63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=9381&dgn=4"]Here[/url] :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syriankid 0 Posted January 9, 2006 As-Salaamu aleikum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatahu Imaam Ahmad(d.241H)(rh) said: "Punishment of the Grave is a true fact; and no one denies it except who is misguided and misguiding others" (Tabaqqatul-Hanaabilah (1/174) of Ibn Abee Yalaa.) An-Naasiree(d.652H) said in 'An-Noorul-Laami(no.110): "We have "eemaan' in the Punishment in the grave and its bliss....this is the madhabs of Ahlus-Sunnah wal- Jamaah. So it is obligatory to have 'Aqeedah' in this" An-Nawawee(d.676H) said in Sharh Saheeh Muslim(5/85): "This chapter shows the excellence of seeking refuge-between the Tashahhudd and the Tasleem -from these (four) matters; and in it is an affirmation of the punishment of the Grave, and it is the position of the people of the truth-as opposed to the Mutazilah" Imaam al-Qurtubee(d.671H)(rh) said: "To have eemaan in the Punishment in the Grave and its trials is obligatory, due to what the most truthful (the Prophet (saw) has mentioned. This is he belief of 'Ahlus-Sunnah wal_jamaah" (At-Tadhkirah bi Ahwaalil-Mawtee wa Ahwaalil-Aakhirah(p.137) of Imaam al-Qurtubee (d.671H) MORE SAYINGS OF THE SALAF OF THIS UMMAH 1)Sufyan ibn 'Uyainah(d.197H)(rh) said: "The Sunnah is ten.Whosoever accepts them has completed the Sunnah and whoever abandons anything from them has abandoned the Sunnah; affirming al-Qadr (predestination ),giving precedence to AbuBakr and Umar, the Pond in Paradise, Shafaa (Intercession), the Scales, the Bridge over Hellfire, Emaan is statement and action, the Qur'ân is the speech of Allaah, Punishment in the Grave, being raised up on the day of Judgement and not testifying that any Muslim will definitely be in Paradise or Hell" (Sharh Usool Itiqaah Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah(no.312) of al-Laalikaee.) 2)Imaaam ash-Shafiee(d.204H)(rh) said: "Indeed al-Qadr (predestination): both the good and evil consequences are from Allaah -the Mighty and Majestic. Indeed Punishment of the Grave is a true fact, the questioning of those in the graves is a true fact, the Resurrection is a true fact, the Accountability is a true fact, Paradise and Hellfire are true facts. Whatever else is related in the Sunnah and so mentioned by the scholars and their followers throughout the lands of the Muslims is also true" (Manaaqibush-Shafiee(1/415) of al-Bayhaqee) 3)Imaaam Ahmad (d.241H)(rh) said: "From the essential Sunnah ,which if a person leaves anyone of its points-not accepting it and not having eemaan in it-then he will not be from its people are: (he then mentions ) eemaan in the Punishment of the Grave"(Usoolus-Sunnah(no.8) of Imaam Ahmad.) He also said: "Punishment of the Grave is a true fact. The servant will be questioned about his Religion and his Lord. Munkir and Nakeer and Paradise and Hellfire are also true facts" (Risaalatus-Sunnah(p.72) of Imaam Ahmad.) 4)Abu Dawood (d.275H)(rh) said: "Chapter: Questioning in the Grave and the Punishment of the Grave"(Kitaabus-Sunnah(p.900) part of Sunan Abee Dawood.)

Syriankid 0 Posted January 9, 2006 5)Ibn Qutaybah(d.278H)(rh) said: "Ashaabul-Hadeeth are united upon the fact that whatever Allaah wills happens and whatever He does not will does not happen ;that He is the creator of good and evil; that the Quraan is the speech of Allaah, uncreated, that Allaah will be seen on the Day of Judgement, giving precedence to Abu Bakr and 'Umar, upon eemaan in the punishment of the Grave. They do not differ in these fundamentals. Whosoever opposes them in any of these matters then they reject, hate and declare such a one an innovator and cut themselves off from him" (Taweel Mukhtaaliful-Hadeeth(p.18) 6)Imaam at-Tahaawee(d.321H)(rh) said: "This is an explanation of the 'Aqeedah' of Ahlus-Sunnaj wal-Jamaah upon the way of scholars of this religion; Abu Haneefah an-Nauman ibn Thaabit al-Kofee, Abu Yousuf Yaqoob ibn Ibraheem al-Ansaree and Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Hasanash ash-Shaybanee-may Allaah be pleased with them all-and the beliefs they held concerning the fundamentals of the deen and their Aqeedah in the Lord of the worlds. "Up until when he said: "We have eemaan in the Angel of Death who is charged with taking the souls of all the worlds; and in the 'Punishment of the Grave for those who deserve it "('Aqeedatut-Taahaawiyah(nos 79-80) 7)Abdul-Hasan al-Asharee(d.324H)(rh) -said: "The Mutazilah denied Punishment in the grave. It has been related from the Prophet (saw) by many ways and by his Companions (rta). Nothing has been related from a single one of them denying or negating this, to the point when there is ijmaa (comcensus) from the Companions of the Prophet (saw) "(Al-Ibaanah'an Usoolid-Diyaamah(p.201)He also said: "There is consensus that the Punishment of the grave is a true fact, and that people will be tested and questioned in their graves. So may Allaah, establish us with what He loves'( Risaalah ilaa Ahlith-Thaghr (p.279) of Abul-hasan al-Asharee.) 8)Imaam al-Aajuree(d.360H)(rh) said: "Chapter: tasdeeq (affirmation) and eemaan in the punishment of the Grave "In which he brings many of the ahaadeeth related by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim and ends the chapter by saying: "So what is the condition of those who deny these ahaadeeth except that they have deviated very far and are in a huge loss"(Ash-Shareaah(pp.358-364) of al-Aajuree.)

Muhsinmuttaqi 0 Posted January 9, 2006 :Di know we get questioned in the grave........when does it happen? when the person dies right after? or when the actually body is in the grave? .........what if the body doesnt get buried......it gets burned, or its left in hidden somewhere .......do they still get questioned? When will it happen? Allah knows best What happens to those who are not buried, Allah knows best. We know what the angels will ask: 1. Who is your Lord? 2. What is your Religion? 3. Who is your prophet? Radheetu billahi Rabban wa bi Muhammadar Rasoolan wa bil Islami deenan. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord and with Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah and with Al-Islam as my way of life. It is not just about saying it but especially put this three questions and answers in to action. We live according to La Ilaha Illallah. We live according to Islam and Islam is our way of life. And very important, we follow the representative of the Law of God on earth the messenger. For us today it is Muhammad, sallallahu aleihi wassallam. I think it might be difficult to answer the question if we do not truthfully live according to them. Question 1: Did you fulfil the rights of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, in dunia. What did you do with your life? How did you use your knowledge? How did you gain and spend your wealth? How did you use your health/body. Did you use all of them to fulfil the rights of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala? Question 2: Did you live according to Islam or did you custom-make Islam. Did you submit to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, even if this is against your desires, even if this is against you own will? Did you choose Islam as your way of life? Question 3: Do you love the messenger of Allah, sallallahu aleihi wassallam, more than yourselves? Do you follow his Sunnah? Let us prepare for this exam!!!
