How the pious are raised from their graves

O devotees of the Prophet! When the graves are cleft open, the dead will be brought to life and the sinners will face severe hardship. On the other hand, those who performed good deeds, distanced themselves from the world, its wealth and pleasures, and spent their time earning the pleasure of Allah Almighty will be raised in a good condition and given glad tidings. People’s good deeds will take a beautiful form and welcome them, and they will be taken to the Plain of Judgement on conveyances. Some fortunate individuals will be granted wings and will ascend to Paradise without accountability as soon as they are resurrected.

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! These are the signs of the righteous. Listen to these Aḥādīth about how the pious will be raised.

‘All praise is for Allah who removed sorrow from us.’”^[2]
