FRIDAY REMINDER: Rasulullah (SAW) said: When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased. When, after the burial, the people return home, two angels, Munkar and Nakeer, come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they could be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, “He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise.” Thereafter, he turns to his dead companion and says, “I am the Noble Quran, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Nakeer, you will have no grief.” When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Malaul Alaa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk. May we all be worthy of the handsome man’s companionship in our graves. Jumat Kareem!
