"Terrifying Description of Grave Torture"

In Islam, the punishment of the grave is depicted as extremely terrifying. The condition in the grave is exemplified by the pressure of the soil from both sides that presses on the deceased. There is no way to save oneself except through the deeds that have been done during one's lifetime. Meanwhile, some of the deceased will receive relief from the pressure of the grave due to the mercy and compassion of Allah SWT. The pressure in the grave feels like the loving embrace of a mother.

Appearance of Angels in the Graveyard

After a person is buried, the family and relatives leave the cemetery, then the deceased is visited by two questioning angels of the grave, namely Munkar and Nakir. These two angels come in a frightening form. Their bodies are black with their eyes bulging as if ready to torture the grave's inhabitant. Then these two angels ask the deceased about the matters of truth. If the answer is not correct, the club they bring will fly towards the body of the deceased.

That is the 4 things that save humans in the grave along with a description of the torment of the grave that can be a reminder for humans. If until now you still often do bad things, it's time to repent immediately and increase good deeds.
