Effects of Janazah

Are you aware of the day of regret??
Commanding His Prophet in the Quran, Almighty Allah says:
"And warn them of the Day of regret, as the Command is decreed, and they are in a state of heedlessness, and they do not believe." (Surah Maryam 19:39)
On that day, horrors of unspeakable scale will be seen, no way of escape will be found, and all hopes for salvation will be dashed. That will be the condition of the disbelievers who led their lives in this world in denial and heedlessness of Allah's religion and far removed from His obedience. All sources of trouble and pain in this world pale in comparison to one moment spent in Hell. This can be better imagined when we think of the fact that Hell Read more ...
Living to Die or Dying to Live
Notes: Excerpts from this article have been taken from the books 'Funerals' (Pages 1-9) and 'Life in al-Barzakh' (Pages 1-4) by Muhammad al-Jibaly.
Death is a harsh and fearful reality faced by everyone who lives. No one has the power to avoid it, nor does anyone around the dying person have the ability to prevent it. It is something which happens every moment and is encountered by the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. They are all the same in that they have no plan or means of eacaping it, no power, no means of intercession, no way to prevent it, nor to delay it, which shows that indeed it comes from one having tremendous Read more ...

The Sentiments of the Companions When the Prophet Died
The Sentiments of the Companions (ra) When the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) Died
The reaction of the Companions regarding the Prophet's death is another affair altogether:
