Invitation to Understanding Islam

Life in the Grave

The Prophet (pbuh) was reported to have said:

"The grave is either one of the gardens of Paradise or one of the pits of Hell." [Tirmizi]

In Islam, death is the end of this life and

there is no returning to this life in any form.

Life does not end at death. Belief in life after death is a basic principle of Islam.

The Noble Qur'an says,

"Then Allah causes him to die and assigns to him a grave; then when Allah Wills,

raise him to life again." [80:21-22]

Everyone will be raised from the 'grave' on the Day of Judgment [ioo:9], regardless of

whether he or she was buried or not.

The body that was destroyed in a flood or fire will be in the earth at its place of death.

Life in the grave is a state of transition and waiting. It is also known as barzakh which

means 'a barrier between two things'.

Barzakh is 'a barrier' between the worlds the dead had just left and their Resurrection

on the Day of Judgment. [23:100]

The passing of the dead to the world of grave coincides with the beginning of

their awakening to The Truth.

The Noble Qur'an says, "And the agony of death comes with the Truth. That is what [the disbelievers and

evildoers] used to flee from!" [so: 19]

ŽIVOT U GROBU

Izviješteno je da je Poslanik (s.a.w.s.) rekao:

"Grob je ili jedan od rajskih

vrtova ili jedan od ponora pakla." [Tirmizi]

U Islamu, smrt je kraj ovog života i nema povratka u ovaj život u bilo kojem obliku.

Život ne završava smrću. Vjera u život

poslije smrti osnovna je postavka Islama.

Plemeniti Kur'an kaže, "Tada Allah učini da umre i određuje

mu grob; tada kad Allah hoće, uzdigne ga opet u život." [80:21-22]

Svi će biti dignuti iz 'groba' na Sudnji Dan [100:9], bez obzira

je li on ili ona bio(la) sahranjen(a) ili nije.

Tijelo koje je bilo uništeno u poplavi ili vatri nalazit će se u zemlji na mjestu njegove smrti.

Život u grobu je stanje prijelaza i

čekanja. Također je poznato kao barzakh što znači 'granica između dvije stvari'.

Barzakh je 'granica' između svjetova

koje su mrtvi upravo napustili i njihovog uskrsnuća na Sudnji Dan. [23:100]

Prelaskom mrtvih u svijet

groba počinje njihovo buđenje u Istinu.

Plemeniti Kur'an kaže,

"I agonija smrti dolazi sa Istinom. To je ono čemu su [nevjernici i

zločinitelji] htjeli izbjeći" [50: 19]

Their greed for material things and physical pleasures (that obstructed them from

knowing The Truth) are removed at death.

Thus the first request of the disbelievers and evildoers at death is to be returned

to their former life.

"0 Lord, send me back so that I may do good deeds in the world

that I have left behind." [23:99-100]

This request will not be granted.

There will be no more opportunity to do good deeds and the door of repentance for their bad

deeds is permanently closed before death.

The souls of the righteous ones experience a gentle, quick and satisfied exit.

Their souls will be taken to the heavens.

Their names will be recorded in the Register of Paradise [Illiyun] before they are returned to their graves. [83:18]

The disbelievers and the evildoers will realize at death about the Punishment

in the Fire that awaits them.

They will struggle to prevent the removal of their souls from their bodies.

They will be in great pain as their blood vessels and nerves are ripped apart when

their souls are forcibly removed.

The Prophet (pbuh) was reported to have said that if human beings could hear their cries at death, they would faint.

Their names will be recorded in the Register of Hell [Sijjeen]. [83:7-8]

The Prophet (pbuh) was reported to have said:

"If one does not find salvation in the grave, then what follows is very hard upon him."

[Ibn Majah and Tirmizi]

"I have never seen a sight more horrifying than the grave." [Tirmizi]

Life in the grave begins with questioning by two Angels, Munkar and Nakir (pbut).

The dead will be questioned about their Lord, religion. Messenger, direction of prayer and

brothers and sisters (ummah).

The righteous ones will answer with ease. They will be rewarded with spacious graves.

Their good deeds will become personified

and be pleasant company for them in their graves,

They will enjoy their

Paradise life in the grave itself.

They will beg to Allah to bring the Day of Judgment soon so that they can enter and dwell in Paradise permanently.

The disbelievers and the evildoers will not

be able to answer the questions asked by the two Angels.

They will be hit so hard with an iron hammer that everything near them

(except jinn and human beings) will hear their screams. [Bukhari & Muslim]

They will be put in dark and narrow graves.

Their bodies will be so tightly pressed that

one side of their ribs will crash into the other. They will be in great pain.

Njihova pohlepa za materijalnim stvarima i fizičkim užicima (koji su ih sprečavali da

saznaju Istinu) smrću se uklanjaju.

Zato je prva molba nevjernika i zločinitelja kad umru da budu vraćeni

svojem prošlom životu.

"O Gospodaru, pošalji me natrag tako da mogu činiti dobra djela na svijetu koji sam napustio." [23:99-100]

Ovom zahtjevu neće biti udovoljeno.

Neće više biti prilike da se čine dobra djela i vrata pokajanja za njihova loša djela trajno su se zatvorila prije smrti.

Duše kreposnih

iskuse blag, brz i zadovoljan izlazak. Njihove će duše biti uzete na nebo. Njihova će imena biti zapisana u

Popisu Raja [Illiyun] prije nego budu vraćeni svojim grobovima. [83:18]

Nevjernici i zločinitelji će kad umru saznati o kazni u vatri koja ih očekuje.

Oni će se boriti da spriječe izlazak

njihovih duša iz njihovih tijela.

Oni će biti u velikim bolovima kad njihove krvne žile i živci budu iskidani dok

im duše budu silom uklanjane.

Poslanik (s.a.w.s.) je rekao da kad bi ljudi mogli čuti

njihove krikove u smrti, onesvijestili bi se.

Njihova će imena biti zapisana u Popisu Pakla [Sijjeen]. [83:7-8]

Poslanik (s.a.w.s.) je rekao:

"Ako netko ne nađe spas u grobu,

tada je ono što mu slijedi veoma teško." [Ibn Majah and Tirmizi]

"Nikad nisam vidio užasnijeg mjesta nego što je grob." [Tirmizi]

Život u grobu počinje ispitivanjem

dvaju Anđela, Munkar i Nakir (pbut).

Umrli će biti pitan o njegovom Gospodaru religiji, Poslaniku, kome se moli i

braći i sestrama (ummah).

Pravedni će lako odgovoriti. Oni će biti nagrađeni posebnim grobovima.

Njihova će se dobra djela uosobiti

i bit će im ugodno društvo u njihovim grobovima.

Oni će uživati

Rajski život već u samom grobu.

Oni će moliti Allaha da brzo bude Sudnji dan tako da oni mogu ući

i stalno biti u Raju.

Nevjernici i zločinitelji neće moći odgovoriti na pitanja

koja im postave dva Anđela.

Oni će tako jako biti udarani željeznim čekićem da će sve u njihovoj blizini

(izuzevši džina i ljudi) čuti njihove vriskove. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Oni će biti stavljeni u tamne i tijesne grobove.

Tijela će im biti tako tijesno stisnuta da

će im se rebra sudarati. Oni će biti u velikim bolovima.

The Prophet (pbuh) narrated the agony

of one whose mouth was torn right up to the back of his head. [Bukhari]

The punishment in the grave is a continuous torment. The Qur'an mentions as an example the evil Pharaohs. They will be brought to the

Fire "morning and evening" [40:46] before they are thrown into Hell on Judgment Day

for more severe punishment.

The disbelievers and evildoers will beg to Allah not to establish the Day of Judgment so that they can be spared the permanent

Punishment in the Hell-fire.

Allah The Almighty says that the Day of Judgment is "sure to come when every soul will be given what it has earned and there

shall be no injustice." [3:25]

Let us seek Allah's forgiveness and Mercy before death overtakes us.

Allah The Most Merciful says:

"0 Believers! Turn to Allah in true,

sincere repentance." [66:8].

May Allah The Most Merciful spare us from the Punishment of the Grave. Ameen.

The dead do not become ghosts!

Neither do they 'possess' the bodies of

the living nor haunt houses and buildings.

Spirit mediums and clairvoyants work with deviated jinn (spirit beings) to fool people

into believing that they contacted and spoke to the dead!

Our best defenses against these deviated jinn are complete trust in Allah as The Best Protector and supplication {du'a).

Poslanik (s.a.w.s.) je pričao o agoniji

onoga čija su usta bila razderana sve do njegovog potiljka. [Bukhari]

Kazna u grobu je trajno

mučenje. Kur'an kao primjer navodi zle faraone. Oni će biti stavljani u

vatru "ujutro i navečer" [40:46] prije nego budu bačeni u Pakao na Sudnji Dan

na još veće kažnjavanje.

Nevjernici i zločinci će moliti Allaha da ne bude Sudnjeg Dana

kako bi mogli biti pošteđeni trajnog kažnjavanja u vatri Pakla.

Allah Svemoćni kaže da će Sudnji

Dan "sigurno doći kad će svakoj duši biti dano što je zavrijedila i da

neće biti nepravde." [3:25]

Potražimo oproštaj i milost od Allaha prije nego nas stigne smrt.

Allah Najmilostiviji kaže:

"O vjernici! Obratite se Allahu , u pravom

iskrenom pokajanju." [66:8].

Neka nas Allah Najmilostiviji poštedi od Grobne Kazne. Ameen.

Mrtvi ne postaju duhovima!

Oni ne 'zauzimaju' tijela

živih niti obilaze kuće i građevine.

Spiritualni mediji i vidoviti surađuju sa džinovima (duhovnim bićima) koji su skrenuli sa Pravog Puta

da zaluđuju ljude vjerom da su oni kontaktirali i razgovarali sa mrtvima!

Naša najbolja obrana od ovih skrenulih

džinova je potpuno vjerovanje da je Allah naš najbolji Zaštitnik, i molitva{du'a).
