acquire the comfortable and peaceful house, we switch on the bulb in order to remove darkness, we use the air conditioner in summer, the heater in winter, we use a generator or a U.P.S in case of power failure but one day we will get transferred to our second home (our grave), leaving everything behind. Ponder seriously, what will happen to us at that time when we will be alone in the horror, deep darkness, and unfamiliar environment of the grave; there will neither be any sympathiser nor helper, neither shall we be able to call anybody nor be able to go anywhere ourselves. How terrifying a situation it will be!

اندھیرا کاٹ کھاتا ہے اکیلے خوف آتا ہے

تو تنہا قبر میں کیونکر رہوں گا یا رسولَ الله

نکیرین امتحاں لینے کو جب آئینگے تُربت میں

جوابات اُن کو آقا کیسے د وں گا یا رسولَ الله

برائے نام دردِ سر سہا جاتا نہیں مجھ سے

عذابِ قبر کیسے سہ سکوں گا یا رسولَ الله

یہاں چیونٹی بھی تڑپا دے مجھے تو قبر کے اندر

میں کیونکر ڈنک بچھو کے سہوں گا یا رسولَ الله

Grief of the deceased

It is written on page 67 of 499-page book Gheebat ki Tabah Kariyan – a chapter of the 2^nd volume of Faizan-e-Sunnat, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah – the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami:

Dear Islamic brothers! Firstly, just imagination the grief of death fading our lives away and then Divine torments in the grave due to the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is a very difficult thing. Who knows when death will occur and lead us to the grave? Even the very thought of the tribulations, at the time of death, is heart-wrenching; on top of that how will we bear the punishments, if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are displeased, what will happen to us?
