Some Causes of the Torment of the Grave
اِسْتَعِیْذُوْا بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
“Seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave.”[1]
Following the command of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, let us all seek refuge as well:
نَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
(We seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave.)
Dear Islamic brothers! We should always ask for safety from the torment of the grave. Along with this, we must stay away from those sins which cause this torment. Let us hear about a few such sins:
Dear Islamic brothers! From the Hadith mentioned at the start, we learned that backbiting and not saving oneself from the splashes of urine are dangerous sins. These sins were the reason those dead people were being tormented. The Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said about them:
مَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيْرٍ
It means they are not being tormented for something that was difficult to avoid.[2]
It means that backbiting and saving oneself from urine splashes are not such things that a person cannot avoid. But sadly, the situation is dire today. In this age, doing pious deeds is considered difficult, while committing sins has become very easy. Our society is trapped in these sins. Take backbiting for example! To speak ill of someone behind their back is called backbiting. Backbiting is an unlawful and haram act that leads to Hell. But sadly, our condition is such that if when two people sit together, they start backbiting.
