Resurrection - Enjoy Islam

Lessening the PunishmentHowever, there are several things which ameliorate such punishments.In one hadeeth, the Prophet is reported to have said,“When a man dies no further reward is recorded for his actions,with three exceptions: Sadaqah 16 and knowledge from whichbenefit continues to be reaped, and the supplication of a righteousson for his deceased father.” [Muslim]This punishment and torture that we will receive is inevitable, andonly those who are misled deny it.When we die, we should always make sure we leave a written willbehind so that what Allah has given us in this world is distributedto those in need and those to whom we are in debt, andso we can leave this world with a clear conscience. If we cannotfind Muslims as executers of our will, then we should engagenon-Muslims.Allah says in the Qur'aan, * Y ? &"(d 5G(8 V :' c $&38 &T; (UL%& 0F'5G8S: & "( 8$e&(70(f 3$%& [(?g3 =$%&5 :?4(]!TX& (D 51 * ` 51E4 $d 5(*h ( (& * 9&T; 4(:\ ( =E3>(N.
