He is denying the torment of the grave on the grounds that if he were to open a grave he would not see any change

He is denying the torment of the grave on the grounds that if he were to open a grave he would not see any change
How should we respond to one who denies the torment of the grave on the grounds that if he were to open a grave he would not see any change or notice that it has been made constricted or widened?.


 

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah
have mercy on him) said: One who denies the torment of the grave on the grounds that if he were to open a grave he would not see any change may be
answered on several points, including the following: 

Firstly: 

The torment of the grave is proven according
to sharee’ah. Allaah says concerning the people of Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning): 

“The Fire, they are exposed to it, morning
and afternoon. And on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): ‘Cause Fir‘awn’s (Pharaoh) people to enter the
severest torment!’”

[Ghaafir 40:46] 

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have asked Allaah to make you hear the torment of the grave
that I can hear.” Then he turned to us and said: “Seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of the Fire,” and they said, “We seek refuge with
Allaah from the torment of the Fire.” He said, “Seek refuge with Allaah from the torment of the grave,” and they said, “We seek refuge with Allaah
from the torment of the grave.” Narrated by Muslim, 2867. 

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said concerning the believer: “His grave will be made spacious for him, as far as the eye can see.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
1374; Muslim, 2870. 

And there are other texts too. 

So it is not permissible to object to or
reject these texts because of our mistaken notions, rather we must believe them and submit. 

Secondly: 

The torment of the grave happens to the soul,
and it is not something that has a physical effect. If it had a physical effect it would not be the matter of belief in the unseen and believing
in it would not serve any purpose. But it is one of the matters of the unseen, and the way things are in al-Barzakh cannot be compared to the way
things are in this world. 

Thirdly: 

Torment and blessing, and whether the grave is widened or constricted, are matters that the
deceased feels but others do not. A man may see in his dream, whilst he is lying on his bed, that he is standing and coming and going, hitting or
being hit. He may see himself in a confined and frightening place, or in a spacious and pleasant place, but those around him cannot see or feel
that.  

What we are obliged to do regarding such
matters is to say “We hear and obey, and we believe and affirm.” 

 

Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), 2/29.



Following note from Muslim Quran online Blog 

The first lesson to be learned by all Muslims is the importance of the Reading Quran Online. All Muslim should learn holy Quran online  is the Book of Allah All mighty. Every word which the quran reciter recites or he read quran is the word of Allah it is mentioned in Quran in Arabic that it is the guidance which has come from Allah. That is why we as Muslim say it is the Holy Book. We should  learn quran and focus on quran teaching thought by the quran tutor to the students and the tutor should arrange the kids quran lessons in such an easy manner so they can understand it easily and make there quran recitation online as beautiful as he could and teach them that the words of Koran were sent by Allah to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) through the angel Jibraeel. And further more elaborate wile reading quran with teaching them the quran tafseer and the tajweed quran with its rules let then do quran memorization in the proper manner We as Muslim should respect the teachings of Quran and in every other manner when we are reading it or when we listen to Quran  wake up Muslims and spread the word of Islam to
