ILM AL-HÂL

196 QUESTIONS IN THE GRAVE AND THEIR ANSWERS When a dead person is buried, two angels approach them and ask questions about their Rabb (Lord), Din (religion), Prophet and book. Allâh تعالــى enables the one who has Îman (faith), obedience and good deeds to reply easily to the questions of the angels. In this way, they are capable of replying to the angel’s questions. But, unbelievers and rebellious people shall be paralyzed at the sight of the Al-Munkar and Al-Nakîr (two questioning angels) and will fail to reply to the questions. Thereafter, these angels convey the good tidings of Jannah (Paradise) to the Muslims who are able to answer the questions and from that on their grave is made one of the gardens of Paradise. As for the unbelievers and major sinners who fail to reply to the angels, they will be said: "Disgrace on you”, and immediately their grave is made a pit from the Hell.
