Journey to Eternity

THE GRAVE: This is the first stage of the hereafter a pit of fire for the hypocrite and disbeliever and a garden for the believer.We come to know through various narrations that mention the punishment in the grave for various acts of disobedience.From them are not cleansing oneself properly from urine, tale bearing in order to spread strife amongst people, intentionally sleeping through the obligatory prayers, abandoning the Quran, fornication and adultery,homosexuality,interest and usuary, withholding payment of debts and other sins. Salvation from this punishment can be achieved by performing good deeds done sincerely for Allah, by seeking refuge in Allah from his punishment, by reciting Surat al-Mulk(67) and by other deeds. Those who are protected from this punishment and will not face it include the martyrs, those who died in guard duty, those who died on the day of Friday (Al-Jumuah those who died in childbirth and others. May Allah save as from such punishment.
