Originally Posted by islamirama  According to Islamic doctrine, between the moment of death and the burial ceremony, the spirit of a deceased Muslim takes a quick journey to Heaven and Hell, where it beholds visions of the bliss and torture awaiting humanity at the end of days.
By the time corpse handlers are ready to wash the body, the spirit returns to earth to observe the preparations for burial and to accompany the procession toward the cemetery. But then, before earth is piled upon the freshly dug grave, an unusual reunion takes place: The spirit returns to dwell within the body.
In the grave, the deceased Muslim - this composite of spirit and corpse - encounters two terrifying angels, Munkar and Nakir, recognized by their bluish faces, their huge teeth and their wild hair.
These angels carry out a trial to probe the soundness of a Muslim's faith. If the dead Muslim answers their questions convincingly and if he has no sin on record, then the grave is transformed into a luxurious space that makes bearable the long wait until the final judgment.
But if a Muslim's faith is imperfect or if he has sinned during life by, for example, failing repeatedly to undertake purity rituals before prayer, then the grave is transformed into an oppressive, constricting space.
The earth begins to weigh down heavily upon the sentient corpse, until the rib cage collapses; worms begin to nibble away at the flesh, causing horrible pain.
This torture does not continue indefinitely. It occurs intermittently and ends at the very latest with the resurrection - when God may well forgive Muslims who have endured the punishment.

Oh yeh i read something like that, it said in the grave those angels come and ask u that. and if ur a believer the grave spreads as far as the eye can see and a window of paradise opens, but if ur a non believer or sin the grave closes up and breaks ur ribs (uuugh) and a snake comes and bites u and every bite hits u 70 ft or yards (somthin liek that) into the ground.
i kno the punishments of the grave tho. ...ew even the ones where they say the angels squish ur head wit a rock or somthing. like theres these sites saying the punishments of not praying, or not fasting, or lying, or backbiting, or som stuff liek that and its just disguusting. like seriously. ew
but do this mean u dont feel anythin when u die? like after u die? after the bullet kills u? or after u drown ina well? or after u get blown up by a tank? or anything?
Jazakallah khair for ur answer bro
