Questioning and Answering in the grave
10:44:58 2023-05-09 838

When a person dies, we bury him in the grave. Two angels come to him and put his soul back in his body by the orders of Allah. These angels will then ask him some questions. If he gives the right answers, the angels give him the good news of paradise and return back from whence they came. The blessings of heaven will start for him. If he answers wrongly, then the angels give him the news of hell. The sufferings of hell will start for him. The angels who come to the kafirs (enemies of Ahlqul Bayt as) are named Munkir and Nakir.

The angels who come to believers are named Mobashir and Bashir. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) comes in the graves to help His Shia with the answering of the questions. Imam Ali (PBUH) does not pay attention to those who were His enemies. Here are the questions which will be asked in the grave and their correct replies.

1. Who is your Lord?

Allah is my Lord.

2. What is your religion? Islam is my religion.

3. Who is your prophet? Muhammad (as) is my prophet.

4. Who is your Imam & wali? Ali (as) ibn Abi Talib (as) is my imam and wali.

5. What is your book?

Quran is my book.

6. What is your Qibla?

Kaaba is my Qibla.

Punishment in the grave

The punishment of the grave is when both corners of the grave come together and crush the body of the deceased. There is no punishment of the grave for believers.

Barzakh

The period from the time of death until the Day of Judgment is called Barzakh. The human lives there with such a body that is extremely light and cannot be seen.

Scale and Bridge

Mizan is scale. According to some narrations a scale will be fixed on the day of judgment. The actions of the people will be measured upon that scale. If one's good deeds is heavier than he will go to heaven. If one's bad deeds are heavier than he will go to hell.

Regarding bridge there are some narrations which say it is such a bridge that will be sharper than the sword and thinner than the hair. The believers will easily cross this bridge, but the kafirs (enemies of Ahlul Bayt as) will be unable to cross it and will fall into the hell. These are traditions, but Masoomeen (as) have told us what is the truth regarding the scale and bridge.
