When The Qur’an Arrives in Your Grave | The Other Side: Barzakh and Beyond Ep. 20
March 18, 2025 • Dr. Omar Suleiman
The Qur'an is the light in your darkest moments, the voice that will defend you when no one else can, and the companion that will never abandon you. But what happens when you abandon it?
The Prophet ﷺ described a terrifying fate for those who neglect the Qur'an. The words of Allah are meant to fill your heart, not collect dust on a shelf. In life, the Qur'an is your refuge. In death, it is your only defense.
Will it be your savior in the grave, or the proof against you?

- The Prophet ﷺ said: "Last night two individuals came to me (in a dream), woke me up, and said to me, 'Proceed!' … So we continued on until we came upon a man lying down, and another standing over him with a rock. The standing man would hurl the rock onto the other’s head, crushing it, and the rock would roll away. He would then follow the rock, retrieve it, and before he returned, the man’s head would be restored as it was before. Then he would strike him again, repeating the same action. I said, ‘SubhanAllah! Who are these two?’ They replied, ‘As for the man you saw whose head was being crushed with a rock, he is the one who took the Qur’an but then abandoned it and neglected the obligatory prayers.’” [Sahih al-Bukhari #7047]
