Session 39 - Anas Ibn Maalik - do not sit with those who deny the punishments of the Grave.

Anas ibn Maalik (ra) - Session 39 Anas (ra) advises, do not sit with those who deny the punishments of the Grave. If the stay in the grave is a visit, how long is your time on earth ? The Messenger ﷺ is alarmed at sounds from a grave, as punishment is being inflicted. Ali (ra), we were in doubt as to the punishment of the grave until Surah Takkathur was revealed. The Divine Mercy of Earthquakes Earthquakes occur due to the proliferation of fornication, intoxicants, music and singing. For the believers this is a lesson, Mercy and a blessing. For the infidels the earthquake is abandonment, punishment and indignation. 'A believer is afflicted due to 2 reasons; due to a sin and due to a high status that cannot be achieved by good deeds.'
