Yaomul Jum’ah: Behind The Shut Down -By Olayinka Abdulrazaq
But when a disbeliever is buried, the earth says: You are not welcome. Before this I detested your coming to me. Now that you are in my custody, you will see how I deal with you. At that moment he would be squeezed in such a way that his bones will merge into each other. subhanaaLlah!
Death marks that moment in life when your physical body stops working to survive. You breathe your last breath. Your heart stops beating. Your brain stops. Other vital organs, including your kidneys and liver, stop. All your body systems powered by these organs shut down, too.
This is fearful moment though, yet what is after the death is more feaful than this. Have you ever heard or read about the life in the grave. subhanaaLlah! O people, events occurring after death are more severe than death itself.
Beware of the squeeze of the grave and the darkness and loneliness in it. The grave calls out every day: I am the house of strangeness, a house of dust, abode of loneliness and the house of stinging creatures. But seems like we have turned deaf hears to its clarion. Indeed, Grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hell.
It will be a garden from the Jannah for the believers and garden from the Jahanam for the unbelievers. Whenver a believer is buried, the grave says: Welcome, previously I was desirous that you would walk to me, now that you are entrusted to me, you will see how I behave with you. At that moment the grave will be expanded as far as the eye can see.
But when a disbeliever is buried, the earth says: You are not welcome. Before this I detested your coming to me. Now that you are in my custody, you will see how I deal with you. At that moment he would be squeezed in such a way that his bones will merge into each other. subhanaaLlah!
Dear brethren! Here is only the opportunity to work towards how you want your grave be. The choice is yours now, strive to be among the righteous people before the time of no choice except His.
Every Friday to another is an opportunity to clear your misdeeds. Be more in remembrance of your Lord. Supplications to the Prophet. Going early to the mosque are amongst what can save one from the torment and punishment of the grave.
May Allah keep us firm upon His right path and save us from us the punishment of the grave.
