Ramaḍān Reminders 1438H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

• The punishment of the grave is established by the Book of Allāh, the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and the consensus of the scholars

• The Barzakh: the grave as the stage between this world and the Hereafter, and the three stages of a person's existence (the dunyā, the grave and the ākhirah)

• The questioning in the grave: the hypocrite, who lived among the Muslims for worldly benefit, can only say "I heard the people saying something so I said it", and a window to the Fire is opened for him

• The affairs of the unseen cannot be grasped by reason: two people may lie in the same grave, one punished and the other in bliss, each unaware of the other

• The punishment reaches the deceased wherever he died, buried or not

• It is denied only by the people of misguidance and innovation, while the people of īmān believe in it and seek refuge in Allāh from it
