What saves from the Punishment of the Grave?
The good deeds
RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “When the dead person is buried, he is able to hear the footsteps of the people when they are leaving the cemetery. Then his good deeds will surround him. So Salah would come next to his head; fasting would come on his right side and Zakah would come on the left side. The other good deeds would come next to his feet. So whenever this person would be attacked from the head, the salah would say, ‘No you cannot come from this side.’ And whenever the attack is from the right side, the siyaam [fasting] would say, ‘No, you cannot come from this side.’ The Zakah would say, you cannot come from this side. And the other good deeds would say, you cannot from the feet. And they would be making a shield, surrounding this person from every side and protecting this person.” (more…)

The Soul Leaving the Body
RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam tells us in a long hadith about the story of the soul leaving the body – the trip that the soul takes. He says that when the believer is dying, the angels come down with a coffin from jannah and some scent from jannah. They sit in front of the person. Then the angel of death descends and tells the believer, “Be happy and pleased with the promise of Allah for you. O you tranquil soul, come out to the pleasure that will be provided to you by Allah swt.” RasulAllah said that the soul will come out so easily, like a drop of water that is flowing down from a jug; it slides so easily out of the body. As soon as the angel of death takes that soul, all of the angels will jump – everyone one of them wants to take the honor of holding that soul and wrapping it in the coffin. (more…)
