You have lived upon this Earth as a pious Muslim. Loved by Muslims around you, and loved by your Parents and family so dearly. You forced yourself up for Fajr Prayer. You loved Allah and his Messenger Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa salaam) so much. Everything you did was for Allah. All you ever longed was to see the face of Allah, and to be in his creation of joy, Paradise. Allah was always on your mind. Every time you committed a sin, you would feel so guilty, turning to Allah with eyes full of tears. You were so protective towards Muslims, whenever you heard that one was abused or hurt, you would be with them by their side like a guardian. You would visit the sick whenever you could and you loved giving rather than taking. Now, within the next few minutes you are going to enter a realm of unspeakable beauty forever.
You are walking down the street towards your house, carrying the weekly shopping for your mum. A Kafer insults you as you pass by because of your Islamic dress code. You look towards the ground with anger in your heart, but patience radiating from your body.
As you cross the final road looking towards your house, you praise Allah as you usually do and SMACK!!! A car smashes into your body throwing you 20 feet along the road. Your body lies in pain along the side of the road. Your Mother spots you from the window and screams, running from the house towards you. People around you begin to gather round, panicking from the sight of blood around your body.
The only words that you utter are, "Lah He Lah Ha IllAllah", continuously.
The pain seems to subside, as your body enters shock.
You hold your Mothers hand in yours, looking into her eyes full of tears. The comfort of your Mother now brings you back to your early childhood, when you were so young and frail, never leaving your Mothers side. Now that feeling is back as you are now left helpless in pain. You turn your head slightly and you spot the Kafir who insulted you now crying. His guilt entering his soul, realising how cruel he was insulting such an innocent person.
The cool air around you begins to calm.
The pain is beginning to disappear from your body.
A sensation never felt my man enters your body.
You see a glowing light in front of you.
A light like that of the sun, but 1000 times more beautiful.
You look on in fright but extreme excitement, trying to fathom what these beautiful lights are.
Suddenly by the will of Allah, you see those lights morph into beautiful Angels descending upon you. Just their smile instantly put more comfort into your heart than the most loving mother can towards their child. Their faces are like that of a sparkling sun. Their faces beyond words of beauty. Shining glow radiating from their blessed angelic bodies. Wings, shimmering white in colour, on either side of their blessed bodies stretching as far as the eye can see. You cannot believe the sight you are witnessing. You cannot believe how beautiful the Angels are. Just this sight you are witnessing wipes out every bit of suffering you had throughout your whole life.
You spot another beautiful Angel descending upon you, but this time he carries a beautiful glowing garment from Paradise. It consists of colours beyond description with the most gorgeous smelling musk ever found upon the face of this Earth coming out from this exceptionally stunning garment.
Taking hold of your soul, they take it out so gently, yet so quickly, as simple as water comes out of a water vessel.
"Come out beautiful soul. Come out to the pleasure of Allah", their beautiful voices call out.
Holding your soul so gently, they place your soul soothingly into the ever so comfortable, ever so beautiful garment of Paradise. They begin their decent to the gates of Paradise carrying the garment you are in, never taking their beautiful eyes off of you for more than a second. You never pass by a group of Angels without them saying, "Who is this beautiful soul?"
"This is the son/daughter-of-so and so" The Angels answer, calling you by the best names that can be found on the face of this Earth.
As you pass through the galaxies you reach the edge of space. Within a blink of an eye you pass into the next dimension.
There is front of you is the most magical, the most beautiful gate you have ever seen in your life. A gate beyond the Human Mind of imagination. Golden in colour, sparkling with its beauty, inscribed with patterns and pearls not even found upon the face of this Earth. You can stare at this gate forever never taking your eyes off of it, due to is magnitude of its size and beauty. You clench your fists in excitement, shaking with joy, hoping that the gates open up for you.
"In the name of Allah, we ask for the gates to be opened", the Angels carrying your soul call out.
The gates begin to slowly open, tears rolling down your face out of unbelievable happiness.
You look on a head in anticipation and extreme excitement, preparing yourself to see what is beyond those magical gates, as the Angels prepare to take you through the Seven Heavens.
The magical gates of wonder open up and the Angels begin their journey through the Seven Heavens carrying the garment that you are in. The Angels move through the Heavens at astonishing speeds taking several minutes to pass through each Heaven. You are in utter shock in how large each of the Seven Heavens is. Travelling many times faster than the speed of light, and yet it takes several minutes to pass through each Heaven is too much for the Human Mind to work out. Trying hard to see what these Gardens of Joy contain, you can make out that each Paradise is further than the eye can see both in length and in width. The height of each Heaven is higher than that of a galaxy. Gardens of unbelievable beauty and colour, trees of golden colour stretching hundreds or possibly thousands of miles high into the glowing sky, Hugh streams of multi-colour sparkling water meandering along as far as the eye can see. That was even less than a fraction of what was actually there! The Angels were moving too fast and yet the magical land was too big and vast to see everything in one go.
Eventually the angels reach the seventh Heaven. A majestic magical barrier prevents any further movement. The beauty and splendour is beyond words. You cannot stop staring at this blanket of beauty, like one staring up at the starry sky as coloured shooting stars zoom across the space, striking temporary lights in its path.
An incredible and most beautiful voice unlike a voice ever heard by man calls out and says "Write the name of my servant in 'Illiyun and return him to Earth to await burial, as from Earth he/she was created and to it shall they return, and from it I shall raise them once more".
The angels gracefully begin their descent back down to Earth. Moments later you see Earth coming back into view. After witnessing the Seven Heavens just for those brief moments, now makes the size of Earth look like a drop of water in an ocean. Everything now, even at this stage makes sense how Allah has said that this Earth is nothing compared to the Hereafter. You laugh to yourself how ignorant and how stupid people are when people hold their heads up high in arrogance with the wealth they have. What you have just witnessed, just a second sight of what you had seen, is more in wealth and abundance and happiness than owning this whole Earth and whatever is in it.
You suddenly look about and see your body being prepared for burial. You see members of your family crying as they wash, wrap the shrouds mixed with perfume around your lifeless body.
You wish you can tell them that you are beyond happy, that a place of unimaginable joy is waiting for the righteous, but the angels with you only increase your patience and comfort. The body is taken to the Masjid where Muslims begin the Janaazah Prayer for you. Afterwards your body is taken into the car and driven off towards the burial site.
At the location of the cemetery, the body is taken out of the car, and the final walk with the body towards the burial ground begins. You suddenly spot the most beautiful gleaming light coming out of a dug up burial spot. The glow is a mixture of yellow and green, mixed with colours never seen my man. You wish you can get closer and see inside. Then you just realise that they are carrying your body towards this beautiful light. You realise that this light is coming from your Grave! Your happiness now enters the next level, the level beyond the joy of man.
The Muslims carrying your body finally arrive to the Grave. You are in so much excitement even your dead body seems light in weight, making it easier for the Muslims to place your body into the Grave. The Muslims remove the lid of the box and carefully remove the shrouded body.
As they place your body into the ground your soul begins to follow. You enter this shining light that instantly puts hope and joy in your heart. You look above you and watch as the soil is thrown over you.
You begin to feel a little nervous as no Angel is now accompanying you. As more and more soil is added, the surrounding atmosphere begins to cool and get darker. Suddenly you are in total darkness. All you feel is the presence of the Muslim Brothers sitting around your Grave. You now realise why Prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) ordered the Muslims to wait around the Grave the length of time it takes to slaughter a lamb and distribute its meat. You know now that the trials of the Grave is about to begin. 15 minutes pass and you hear the footsteps of your companions walking away.
You suddenly hear a shuffling sound in front of you. Out of nowhere, two Angels appear. You know, from what you have studied from Hadith that they are Munkar and Nakeer. They order you to sit up. You are quite surprised why they seem so strict with you. They suddenly ask you:
"Who is your Lord?"
Suddenly this strength enters your heart and tongue and you answer smiling, "My Lord is Allah".
They seem less strict this time and they ask you in a quieter tone, "What is your religion?"
"My religion is Islam" You answer.
The Angels begin to smile towards you, placing so much happiness and warmth into your heart that you feel like crying. Like a little child all alone beaten up and bullied by people, suddenly turning around and seeing their mother coming towards them with open arms. You felt more warmth and comfort than this.
They ask you now in such a calm and friendly way, "Who was this man who was sent amongst you?"
You answer, "He is the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). He came with the Quran and Sunnah which I acted upon it by the will of Allah".
A beautiful voice calls out from the Heavens:
"He/she has spoken the truth, so spread a bed for him/her from Paradise"
The Angels smile towards you and they open a window in front of you. What you see is too terrible for words. A barrier prevents the heat or wind from entering your Grave. It is Hell. Fire darker than tar bellowing millions of miles into the darkened atmosphere. Thunder and lightening the width of planets and the length of galaxies striking every second. Galaxy sized tornadoes moving in terrifying motions through the Fire. Streams and lakes of boiling fluid hot enough to melt skin and bone meandering through the Fire.
The Angels say, "If you disobeyed Allah you would have ended up here. But Allah saved you from this, and because of your exceptional worship and devotion to Him, He is granting you a magnificent home."
The Angels move aside and there before you, is the most magically magnificent window before your eyes. Shiny gold around the edges with minute coloured pearls scattering forth from the window, creating like a multi-coloured snow storm before your eyes. The Angels smile towards you as you cannot wait to see what is beyond the window. Slowly the magical cover of the beautiful window slowly opens to reveal a fraction of what you are going to have when Allah raises you up once again.
The magical barrier opens. Suddenly this unbelievable musk enters your Grave like a gentle wind followed by millions of micro luminous pearls and rubies soft to touch against your skin. Each time one of this pearls or rubies touch your skin, a sense of unbelievable feeling enters your body unlike anything felt by man. Suddenly this fragrance begins to fade and the vision beyond the window becomes clearer and clearer each minute. Beyond the window is something beyond the imagination of the mind. Inside you see a land of multi coloured soft pearls and rubies. Trees thousands of miles high into the sky stretching forth into a canopy resembling like that of coloured clouds. Golden and greenish mist falls from the canopy down onto the land. Golden paths stretching through this land of pearls and rubies with purple and red gem like flowers sticking up from the ground all along the sides of the paths ready to be picked and eaten. The top of such flowers can be removed and inside is syrup like nectar of flavours unknown to man. After which a person can eat the remaining gem like flower tasting like that of Heavenly flavours only known by Allah. Each time a flower is taken, another flower will grow in its place, but in another colour and flavour consisting of a different tasty drink.
Some of these paths lead to streams of magnificent size. Each stream is different to the other. Some streams consist of one particular colour, others consist of a particular colour not known to man, other streams are a mixture of millions of different colours, while others consist of colours with multi coloured froth bubbling from the top. Mini bubbles like pearls scattering forth from such streams into the surrounding Heavenly atmosphere, floating in all directions waiting to be taken and eaten by a Servant of Allah. These streams then divide into 70,000 other streams of wonder but you are unable to see them as they were beyond the edge of the window. You are thinking in unbelievable wonder, if what you saw of such streams were beyond the mind of man, how would the other groups of 70,000 streams look like that branch from the other streams you have just seen?
Hugh and magnificent palaces surrounded by unbelievably gorgeous looking plants and vegetation is seen in the distance. Transportation of all kinds waiting to bring you to other areas of Paradise, such as the Market, The Door of Iman, The Door of Fasting, The Door of Salat, The Door of Charity, The Door of Tawbah, The Door of Jihad, The Door of Ar-Raiyan, The Door of Al-Kadhemean Al-Gaidah, The Door of Radiyeen. Each of these doors would lead you to other areas of Paradise hidden away from all, even the Angels themselves.
The Palaces you see are composed of gold and silver bricks. Each brick sends out a beautiful radiating glow. The design is unlike any design ever seen by man or creation. Windows so large made out of colours not known to man. Magnificent fountains of blue, crystal, gold or green water is seen along the entrance to each Palace. The footpaths leading from the main paths to the entrance to each Palace is composed of soft pearls and rubies that are found in millions of colours. You cannot see what is behind the Palace due to its size and magnitude.
Fruit trees line the footpaths leading to each Palace. Each tree holds a different type of fruit and each tree holds thousands of fruits at a time, and yet again, not two fruits upon each tree taste the same. Each time a fruit is taken, another fruit replaces it, different it texture, colour and enhanced in flavour.
Suddenly a magical cloud unlike anything you have seen, begins to descend across the Heavens in such a beautiful and graceful way. Before you can see anything the magical doors begin to close.
"Oh by Allah, please let me see what happens!" You call.
The angels smile towards you and say, "Your day will come to see everything. Be patient you good soul as you were patient upon this Earth. You shall rest and await the coming of the hour".
The magical window vanishes and instantly before your eyes, stands the most beautiful Human you have ever seen in your life...
You look on in astonishment towards this incredibly beautiful/handsome Human.
"By Allah! May Allah bless you! Who are you?" You say.
"I am your good deeds! By Allah, I never knew you to be so quick in obeying Allah and so hesitant in disobeying Him! Enjoy forever the hidden reward He has in store for you The Day He raises you up for the Final Time Ever!"
Suddenly your Grave turns into a Garden beyond imagination. Fruit trees surround you and two rivers of glittering colour are seen on either side of you. You sit on top of a ground made of multi coloured pearls and rubies. They do not feel hard but feel soft and comfortable. You excitedly pick a handful of pearls and rubies from the ground with your right hand and a puff of magical glitter spreads in the air around you creating this incredible smell of beautiful musk. The pearls and rubies pass between your fingers and as they hit the ground they bounce up and down finally settling back onto the ground, creating a sound so soothing and so perfect. You cry out of extreme excitement as you play like a small child sticking your arms deeps in the ground of pearls and rubies and lifting them up creating a shower of pearls and rubies as they float back down to the ground, this time creating a larger puff of magical glitter as that sweet smelling musk fills the air around you. You stand up and run towards one of the rivers. You are shocked how you run and not feel out of breath! You kneel down towards the river and look in. The river is composed of a mixture of different colours never seen by man. You are confused to how such colours can exist.
You want a taste of the river and suddenly a crystal cup pokes up from the ground into your hand! You quickly take some of the drink from the river into your cup and suddenly this multi coloured froth bubbles from the top creating a decorated mist in every direction. You take a sip and your eyes widen with enormous pleasure. Never in your life have you ever tasted something this good! So refreshing, a flavour beyond words. Just the froth felt smoother than milkshake upon your lips. The drink itself beyond description. It was so delicious even the mist rising from the cup has its own flavour! You drink more and more and each time you drink it just gets tastier and tastier! You turn around and spot a giant golden fruit tree. You rush towards it still the cup in your hand. You place the cup onto the ground and look up at the thousands of see through grape like fruits. Their colours are all varied. Some are bright green; others are bright orange, red, purple, pink etc. Others are colours never seen before! Each grape like fruit are all so perfectly made they are all, almost see through, like a white crystal vessel. You pull a grape like fruit from the tree. As you pull it off, another fruit replaces it, different in colour and texture! As you place the fruit into your mouth, the smell it creates is beyond words. You bite into it and you almost collapse due to its enormity of its flavour. A flavour so delicious and so perfect. Just eating this fruit will be enough for eternal pleasure! Inside this fruit is like the inside of the most perfect grape that can be found upon the face of this Earth, but the flavour is much different, and much tastier! You spend time eating from this tree. As you sit in contentment enjoying the fruit and drink a terrible sound is heard above ground. Your eyes fix in terror as you just realise that the Day of Judgment is about to begin. Though you are terrified and not wanting to leave your Grave of Bliss, little do you know that an even greater Bliss and reward is waiting for you above ground.
