What happens in the grave : The Three Questions
After burying a person the grave welcomes a person. For a Muslim, the welcome is like how a mother squeezes or hugs her child of love. For a non-believer the grave welcomes him in such a manner that the right-side ribs will interlock with the left-side ribs. Thereafter, the two angels, Munkar & Nakeer, will rip the earth and enter the grave. Munkar, Nakeer, means strange people. These angels are neither like human beings nor like other angels. The Nakirain are honourable for the believers while for non-believers, they are a source of retribution. Their image is very terrifying. Their body is black, their eyes are blue, black and very big. The length of their hair is from the head to the feet. Their teeth are very big and they use it to rip the earth when coming into the grave. They shake the deceased and get him or her up. The deceased are then asked the following three questions:
1. Man Rabbuka (Who is your Lord) ?
2. Ma Deenuka (What is your religion) ?
3. Ma kunta taqoolu fa haazar rujul (What do you have to say about this person) ? - when the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam will appear in front of him.
If the deceased is a Muslim, then he or she will answer :
1. Rabbiyal Lah - (Allah is my Lord)
2. Deeniyal Islam - (Islam is my religion)
3. Huwa Rasoolullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam (He is the Messenger of Almighty Allah).
After that a command for a Muslim will come from the sky. " My servant has spoken the truth. Lay for him the bedding of Paradise, and dress him with clothes of Paradise, and open the doors of Paradise. " The cool wind and beautiful scent of Jannat will enter his grave. His grave will be made wide as far as his eye could see. The angels will say to him, " Sleep like a bridegroom."
If the person is a non-Muslim, he or she will not be able to answer the questions, but would only say, ''Ha ha la adri. '' ( O' what a pity I do not know). Then a command would come from the sky. " This person is lying. Lay for him the bedding of fire and dress him with the clothes of fire and open the doors of Hell." The heat of hell will enter the grave. Two other angels will be appointed to give the person punishment in the grave, by snakes, scorpions and other means.
In a hadith narrated by Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah Radi Allahu anhu it is stated that when a believer gives the correct answers, he is shown the abode of Paradise. He is also shown the view of Hell and informed that he is saved from it. The believer seek permission to convey his good fortune to his relations, but it is not allowed to do so. When the same questions are put to the non-believer, he does not reply. He is shown his abode in Hell and a view of Paradise adding that he has been deprived of it. Hadrat Jabir Radi Allahu anhu further states that the Most Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said that everyone in the grave is raised with the same faith as he actually had at the time of death. If he dies as a believer, he rises as such and if he dies as a non-believer, he remains as such. (Ahmad, Tibrani)
Rabbana afrigh Aalayna sabran watawaffana muslimeena
Our Lord! pour out on us patience, and cause us to die as Muslims.”
