#qabr

Imam ibn Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:

"The (Qabr) grave is filled with darkness, the person (inside of it) does not see the sun nor the moon, but if the person was from those who would pray, his grave will be filled with light..."

‏قالَ الشيخُ ابنُ عُثيمين رحمهُ اللهُ : -

" والقَبْرُ ظُلْمَةٌ لا يَرَى الإنْسانُ شَمْساً ولا قَمَراً، فإذا كانَ الإنْسانُ مِنَ المُصَلِّين كانَ قَبْرُهُ نُوراً " .

Article: "The Belief of Ahlus-Sunnah in the Testing of the People in their Graves." Shaikh Rabee stated: "We ask Allah for safety because it is feared for many people that they are not truly acquainted with the message of the Prophet, they do not know..."

Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah believe in the test and trial (fitnah) of the grave after a person dies. So this is the first of the events after death that a person encounters with respect to the establishment of the Last Hour. When the deceased is placed in his grave, his burial is concluded, and the funeral procession turns away, he hears their footsteps.

Then there will come to him two angels…

Who is then worse than I am

فَمَنْ يَكُونُ أَسْوَأَ حَالاً مِنِّي

When I will be taken to a grave that I have not paved for my long stay

إنْ أَنَا نُقِلْتُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِي إلَى قَبْرٍ لَمْ أُمَهِّدْهُ لِرَقْدَتِي

And I have not furnished with righteous deed for my extended abode

وَلَمْ أَفْرُشْهُ بِالْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ لِضَجْعَتِي؟

Why should I not weep while I do not know what my destiny will be?

وَمَا لِي لا أَبْكِي وَلا أَدْرِي إلَى مَا يَكُونُ مَصِيرِي

And while I notice that my self is cheating me

وَأَرَى نَفْسِي تُخَادِعُنِي

And my days are deceiving me

وَأَيَّامِي تُخَاتِلُنِي

And the wings of death are fluttering over my head

وَقَدْ خَفَقَتْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي أَجْنِحَةُ الْمَوْتِ؟

So, why should I not weep?
