also shower in our graves abundantly اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In this regard, let’s listen to a very beautiful parable.

Glad tidings of 2 Jannah

In the era of Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, a pious young man used to remain busy worshipping in the Masjid. When he passed away (and after the arrangements for his Ghusl (ritual bath), funeral and burial were made in the same very night), when Sayyiduna ‘Umar

Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was informed about this incident in the morning, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ went to his (deceased’s) father in order to express his condolences over the death of his righteous son. (Having expressed his condolences), he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: ‘Why did you not inform me?’ (so that I could also attend his funeral Salah etc.) He humbly said: ‘O Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ! Much part of the night had passed.’ (Therefore, keeping your rest in mind, it was thought better not to inform you). So Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam
رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: ‘Take me to the grave of that pious young man.’ Thus, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and his companions were taken to that young man’s grave. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ called out: ‘O so-and-so! (Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said):

وَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ جَنَّتٰنِۚ(۴۶)

And for the one who fears standing in the Majestic Court of his Lord, are           two Paradises^[1].

 [Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 27, Surah Ar-Rahman, Ayah 46)

The (practising) young man replied twice from his grave, ‘Ya Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ! My Creator عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed upon me both of these two Paradises.’ (Tareekh Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 45, pp. 450, Raqm 5320)

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Did you hear that the young man, while protecting himself from sins, spent his whole life performing virtuous deeds? And after his death, this worship brought about his forgiveness and he was also blessed with the great blessings of Paradise too. Remember! Beauty and youth are mortal wealth and being proud of it is an act of foolishness.
