of Judgement, and will intercede in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ on your behalf, and will show you your abode in Paradise.

(Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 3, pp. 266, Hadees 23)

Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard about the deeds which benefit one after death in the loneliness, horrors, fear and darkness of the grave; Salah, Sawm, Hajj and Zakah will be beneficial in the grave; they will save one from punishment; Ramadan and the Glorious Quran will remove darkness of the grave and Judgement Day; recitation of the Holy Quran and Siyam will bring fragrance in the grave. To illuminate a Masjid will be the cause of illumination of the grave; a Muslim who inquires after the sick will be visited daily by two angels in his grave; the recitation of Surah Al-Mulk will save one from the torment of the grave; one who dies while trying to memorize the Holy Quran will have the privilege to be taught its memorization by an angel in the grave.

Acting upon the Sunnah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will produce light and provide the deceased with company in the grave; Tahajjud Salah will illuminate the grave; to call people towards righteousness will remove the horrors of the grave and will be the cause of illumination of the grave; Sadaqah will remove the heat of the grave; Islamic knowledge will keep the deceased accompanied in the grave and will keep the insects of the earth away from him; by the blessing of providing children with the Islamic knowledge, torment of the grave will be lifted; by the virtue of entering happiness into the heart of Muslims, one will get soothed in the state of fear of the grave and steadfastness will be granted in answering the questions of Nakirayn.

Whereas, if we enter the grave with bad deeds, the grave may become a ditch of Hell due to the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ; torment may also begin. Remember! To not save
