Praise be to Allah: we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Him from the evils of our own souls and deeds. Whomever Allah guides, no-one can lead astray, and whomever He leaves astray, no-one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone Who has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammed (pbuh) is His Slave and Massenger.
I believe that it was necessary to place this information to my Muslim sisters, because the punishments and blessings of the grave are topics which have to do with Aqidah, topics which we must know about, the pillars of Eeman, the punishments of Hell and the blessing of paradise. Knowing and believing in all these lead to the reform of heart, which in turn will lead to the reform of the external aspects of life, including the correction of morals on which a safe and secure life for society as a whole, and indeed the entire Ummah, may be built.
For we know that the cause of corruption, whether on an individual or group basis, is the lack of a deterrent, The greatest deterrent is belief in Allah and in the knowledge that He sees all that we do, in private or in public, in secrert or in the open, and the belief in the angels, and in the blessings and punishment of the grave, and belief in Paradise and Hell and in all the other things which must be believed in.
Before the believer says or does anything, he must weigh it up, bearing in mind his consiousness of Allah, Hell and Paradise, and the blessings and punishment of the grave. Thus the believer should do nothing but good, but if he does or says something that does not benefit him, then he will feel as if the punishment of the grave and Hells is closer to him than the soles of his own feet, and he will not feel at peace until he has asked Allah for forgiveness for his sins, repent to him and returned to Him, weeping, with humility and regret.
Filled with these good beliefs, the early Muslims conquered the world. But because of our ignorance of these same mementous beliefs, our ummah has lost its highest morals and ethics, we have lost our happiness, stability and security, we have lost our brotherly love between one another, we have forgotten about jihad and making sacrifices for the sake of Allah. This has encouraged our enemies, who call one another to eat from communal pot. We have lost so much in this world, yet losing out in the Hereafter will be even worse. But this deen of ours is torch of guidance which lights the way for Ummah and for those seeking the way of Allah. It revives hatred and enimity. It restores honour and happiness, but only if we adhere to it properly
Is there any that will recieve admonition?
(Qur'an 54:15)We ask Allah to make this book purely for his sake. May He accept this from us, and may He protect us and all brothers and sisters in Islam from the punishment of the grave and the Hell fire, bestow upon us the blessings of the grave and paradise. We ask Him for the good things in this world and the next. Verily He is able to do all things.
