if you rest in peace in the grave, does it mean that you will be Ok on the day of judgment?

It certainly is a good sign :up:

aslamu laaikum warehmatullahi wabrakatu,

i agree with sis yusra....and inshaAllah it may be easy for the believers....

actually a sahaba (ra) asked rasool Allah (SAW) that wouldnt a person be dumbfounded by seeing the angels (munkar nakeer) and i think 9frm wot i remember) he (SAW) quoted a verse. Allah will keep the believers firm.

walaikum aslam warematullahi wabrakatu

[Abu Mus'ab]

Well the shuhadaa has no questioning in the Qabr so they have it easy on the day of Qiyaamah too.

So yeah i guess that if you pass the test in the qabr then you should be okay on the day of Qiyaamah.

Relevant to the topic:

His servant Hani’ narrated: "Whenever `Uthman stood before a grave he wept until his beard was wet. He was asked: ‘You have seen battle and death without a tear, and you cry for this?’ He said: ‘The grave is the first abode of the hereafter. Whoever is saved from it, what follows is easier; whoever is not saved from it, what follows is harder. The Prophet said: "I have not seen anything more frightful than the punishment in the grave."’" `Uthman also related from the Prophet that whenever the latter finished burying someone, he would stand by the grave and say: "All of you, ask Allah to forgive your brother and make him steadfast, for he is now being questioned."

Some other cool stuff I found on the website (which is a short biography of Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him!):



Among `Uthman’s sayings:"If I were between Paradise and the Fire, unsure where I will be sent, I would choose to be turned into ash before finding out where I was bound.""I swear by Allah that I never committed fornication in the Time of Ignorance nor in Islam. Islam only increased me in modesty."



The Prophet said: "More men will enter Paradise through the intercession of a certain man than there are people in the tribes of Rabi`a and Mudar." The elders considered that this was `Uthman ibn `Affan.

[Omar]

The whole experience of the soul being taken out of the body is painful, I read somewhere its like being stabbed repeatedly. And the ones that have the easiest death are not those that die in bed but those that die on the battle field for the sake of Allah.
