The Matter of the Graves is Not Simple
Dear Islamic brothers! Giving charity in the path of Allah Almighty is also a good deed that turns the darkness of the grave into light and its terror into peace and comfort.
The Beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
اِنَّ الصَّدَقَۃَ لَتُطْفِئُ عَلٰی اَہْلِہَا حَرَّ الْقُبُوْرِ
“Indeed, charity cools down the heat of the grave for the one who gives it.”
وَ اِنَّمَا یَسْتَظِلُّ الْمُؤْمِنُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ فِیْ ظِلِّ صَدَقَتِہٖ
“And surely, on the Day of Judgment, the believer will be shaded beneath the shadow of his charity.”[1]
Therefore, we should make it a habit to give charity regularly. The virtues of charity are many and immense: Charity closes seventy doors of evil. The giver of charity will be shaded under its shadow on the Day of Judgment. Charity protects from the heat of the grave. Charity wipes away sins just as water extinguishes fire. Charity wards off calamities and afflictions. Charity increases one’s lifespan. Charity saves from an evil death and a bad ending. Charity extinguishes the wrath of Allah Almighty. Charity brings expansion in sustenance and abundance in wealth. Charity removes poverty and destitution.[2] In short, charity opens the doors of countless blessings and closes the doors of many evils. Hence, we must give abundant charity and donations to prepare for the brightness of our graves and the success of our Hereafter.
