4. Spending in the way of Allah Almighty.

5. Diligence in salah.

6. Discharging zakat.

7. Fasting.

8. Having good conduct with people.

9. Patience.

Apart from these, there are many other righteous deeds that protect one from punishment in the grave and illuminate the grave. We must prepare for the grave. At the very least, adopt these nine actions that have just been mentioned and abandon the four sins that will be mentioned ahead. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه Your worldly life will be bettered, your grave will be illuminated, and Allah willing, you will be granted success in the trial of the Day of Judgement.

May Allah Almighty grant us success in preparing for the grave and the Hereafter.

اٰمین بِجاہِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Abandon four misdeeds

Faqīh Abū al-Layth al-Samarqandī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states, “Whoever wishes to be protected from the solitude and apprehension of the grave should avoid four acts: 1. Lying 2. Treachery 3. Telling tales 4. Not protecting oneself from urine droplets.”^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers, these are four sins. If we seek salvation from the punishment of the grave and long to illuminate our graves, we must abandon these four acts.
