I've been listening to a lecture about death, the grave and the day of judgment. It has been quite and eye opener. It has made me want to be better in this life, and to try my best to avoid things that would make Allah subhannah wa t'ala displeased with me.
One of the hadiths mentioned in this lecture was that the Prophet salalahu allaihi wa salam was taken in a dream by two angels. They showed him many ways that people are punished in the grave. The one that stood out to me most was the one about a man lying on his back, with someone standing over him with a huge rock. The rock would be thrown at the man's head and crush it, then the rock would roll off and his head would grow back and it would be crushed again... and again... and again. This was punishment for knowing the Quran but not living by it. How scary is that?
This makes me want to be so careful about things. It also makes me wonder why so many people want to take the chance to try to modify the clear message of the Quran.

The lecture is Anwar Al Awlaki's Hereafter series....
It does have so much more in it that makes you want to be better. When I mention it to some people they don't want to hear it because they don't want to be scared... I don't know what to say to that..
I have that series! I need to break it out again and listen to it...I never did finish it! It really is good mashaa Allaah.
SubhanAllaah. That is so scary! Is this lecture online? I would like to listen to it, inshaAllaah.
Oh i have that series too... Like Sis Asiaay, I never fifnished it either

A friend reccomended it to me and told me that it was scary stuff which admittedly delayed me in listening to it also but that is when it really hit you.
What CAN you say to those people? All I know is that scary or not, I want to be prepared for what awaits me so i can spend this lifetime prapring for.
Inshallah.
Jazakumullahu khair sis.
Look forward to hearing mpre from you soon.

Sister, Thanks for this great reminder of the punishment in graves.
Mashallah you have a great blog.
I appreciate your efforts in this regard.
May Allah help you to keep these fantastic efforts continue with patience. And may Allah prepare a home for you in Jannah.
Rabbibne li indaaka baitan filjannah.
Ameen.
I searched for the hadith you're refering to and actually they don't exist , if they're true give me the hadith and the isnad.
I believe in punishment in grave cause there exist hadith where Rasullullah mentioned it, but he didn't mention any of these specs you said in ur post.
Salam
Alshaimaa
I imagine the tone of your post is not as demanding as it comes off to be. I found the hadith rather quickly. I'll paste the link to it below. So sorry to tell you but it does exists. I trust that the lecturer would not just make something up either. When he was talking about the hadith he did add extra explanation which is what I have conveyed in my post.
Anyway here is the hadith, found at searchtruth.com. Its a sahih Bukhari by the way
http://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=23&translator=1&start=0&number=468#468
Its the very first hadith on the page
I checked the link and you are right indeed .
The hadith is true , and I'm getting scared now of that fact (the rock crushing the head for not living by the quran) :S
Allah guide us all to the right path..amen
Jazack Allah khayran sister for your understanding and correcting me.
Assalamu aleikum,
Life is so short and I am so caught up in the dunya these days that I seem to easily forget the Day Of Judgement and how I could easily be in that man's position if I don't focus more on the deen. JazakAllah Khair for the much-needed wakeup call.
By the way sister, I would love it if you visited me at my brand new blog: http://noorsjourney.wordpress.com/ as I am always looking to connect with other Muslimmahs. You seem like a kind and humble sister and I plan to explore more of your writings. Thanks again for posting.
Noor :)
Asalaamu Alaikum, I'm wondering though how can one be punished before Judgement Day? Or, is the punishment in the grave after you're judged? (sorry I'm a little confused)
And also can you point out where in the Qur'an does it talk about our punishment in the grave? Or is it only in the hadith collections? JazakAllah Khair. :)
May Allah save us from the punishment in the grave!!!!! Ameen!
SubhanAllah we are all guilty at some point or another of knowing the Qur'an and not living by it. May Allah forgive us and guide us to that which HE loves. Ameen!
yes thanks for that reminder, though we know everything about islam, sometime we r so reluctant to practice it, mainly its sometimes its so difficult to abstain from sins,
i seek refuge in Allah from such terrible punishments, may Allah guide all people to the right path, and to practice islam wholeheartedly,
salam
i'm scared :S
