The dead with regrets have one wish in regard to this world: to return to it and make just two more rak'ahs of prayer.

The dead who have communicated their joy to us testify to the same source of joy, over and over: salah. Prostration. Worshiping Allah in the depths of the night. So often overlooked in this life, prayer is a gift from Allah. And when we prioritize it the way we prioritize the trivial aspects of our days, then the reward will be not just bountiful, but infinte.

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?

Zina is a pathway to destruction. It starts with a glance, a conversation, a moment of indulgence, and before you know it, you’re trapped in an unrelenting fire. The Prophet ﷺ described the terrifying fate of those who let their desires consume them—a blazing oven in the Barzakh, where regret burns as fiercely as the flames themselves.

But the struggle against temptation isn't without reward. Those who hold on to their faith and protect their chastity in a world filled with desires are promised the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment. Your restraint today could mean the difference between light and darkness, between a grave that feels like a garden or one that feels like an inferno.

Debt doesn’t leave with your body—it follows you into the Barzakh. The soul remains suspended until its dues are settled, held back from its final destination. If unpaid debts weigh so heavily, what about the burden of riba (interest)? The Prophet ﷺ saw its punishment—people drowning in a river of blood, never reaching the shore. Meanwhile, charity multiplies your wealth in this life and builds your home in the next.

Will you be held back by debt, or propelled forward by your sadaqah?

It's not a big deal...or was it? What seems insignificant today could weigh the heaviest in the Barzakh. It’s not about the size of the sin, it’s about how it weighs in your heart.

A rushed wudu, a careless word, a moment of gossip—these are things people dismiss as minor. But the punishment of the grave begins with neglecting what Allah values. The deeds that save you are the ones you take seriously, no matter how small they seem. Because the small things aren’t so small when you stand before Allah.

You try to be mindful not to commit greater sins, but do you watch what you say? The words you speak, the posts you type, and every joke you make at someone’s expense don’t disappear when you do.

 In the punishment of the grave, tongues that once spread lies, mocked others, and fueled gossip will now become a source of torment. Some will tear their own faces apart. Others will eat their own flesh. Meanwhile, those who guarded their words will soar, their tongues planting trees of reward in Jannah.

Will your deeds save you, or will they betray you?

In the next life, even the smallest actions hold immense weight. A prayer rushed through, a charity given with pride, a careless word that hurt someone—these could be the very things that hold you back. Allah’s mercy is vast, but His justice is precise.

The punishment of the grave is real, but so is the chance to escape it. You still have time to right your wrongs.

What if the deed that saves you is one you barely remember? Or worse, what if the deed that condemns you is one you never thought to make right?

In the Barzakh, your actions take form. Your good deeds will be the only company you keep, appearing as beautiful companions. But your sins, especially those you ignored, will return as a painful reckoning.

So what have you done that could be your salvation? And what must you make right before it’s too late?

Are you on the list? Which group are you with? In this world, we chase after names on prestigious lists—job promotions, elite schools, exclusive memberships. But in the hereafter, only two lists matter: One leads to eternal joy, the other to unimaginable regret.

Some will be greeted with celebration, their names written in Illiyeen among the honored souls. Others will be absent from the gatherings of the righteous, their fate sealed in darkness.

The choices you make now determine your place in the next world. The prayers you pray, the good deeds you hold onto, the company you keep—they are all being recorded.

Have you ever dreamed of flying—of soaring freely, untethered by the weight of this world? In the Barzakh, you finally can. Your soul will leave behind the constraints of the body, taking form according to the life you lived.

The martyrs will rise as radiant green birds, gliding beneath the Throne of Allah, sustained by the fruits of Paradise. The believers will perch among the trees of Jannah, flying to the places their hearts were once connected to. But the wicked will fall, snatched away like crows, dragged into the depths of Sijjeen.

When the time comes, will you fly toward the heavens, or will you be cast into the darkness below?
