Dear Islamic brothers! If we succeeded in carrying our Īmān intact in the grave, we shall achieve salvation from the hardships of the grave and it will become a garden from amongst the gardens of Paradise.
Shaykh Abū Isḥāq عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الـرَّزَّاق said that he saw a person with half of his face covered so he asked him the reason for that. He told him, ‘I would dig up graves at night to steal the shrouds. Therefore, one night I dug a woman’s grave intending to steal her shroud, but she slapped me with such force that the mark is still on my face.’
Shaykh Abū Isḥāq عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الـرَّزَّاق said that he wrote about the shroud thief’s matter and sent it in the service of Imām Awzā’ī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, who instructed in reply to further inquire that person about the condition of those in the graves. That person reported, ‘I often witnessed that those in the grave had their faces turned away from the Qiblaĥ.’ Knowing this Imām Awzā’ī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘Ah, regret! These are those people whose ending was not good, meaning these people were engrossed in such sins which lead them to that condition.’ (Rūḥ-ul-Bayān, vol. 2, pp. 249)
Gaur-e-naykān bāgh ĥogī khuld kā
Mujrimaun kī qabr dozakh kā gařĥā
The grave of pious ones will be garden of Paradise
Whereas the grave of a sinful person will be a pit of Hell
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protect us from a bad end and save the Muslim Ummaĥ from the curse of alcohol as this too can become a cause of a bad death and torment in the grave!
