Once when he was seated near a grave, the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: "Every grave proclaims in the most horrific voice, 'O progeny of Adam ! Have you forgotten me ? I am the house of loneliness. I am a strange land of wilderness ! I am a hole of mites and worms. I am a place of hardship and trial, save those fortunate ones for whom Allah makes me commodious and wide. I am for all other human beings a tortuous place." In addition, the Prophet (saw) said : "The grave is either one of the pits of Hell or a small flower garden out of the gardens of Paradise." [Tabarani]
Take heed from the sight of the graveyard and develop the habit of concentrating your thoughts and imaginative powers on meditating life after death.
