The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. The question is: How do we train our hearts in sincerity with Allah, Mighty and Majestic? Then, in his other question, he says: Is it correct to speak of what has recently spread regarding recordings of voices claimed to be from the inhabitants of the barzakh? We need clarification from scholars like you.
The Shaykh:
The first question. How? Yes.
The questioner:
He says: How do we train our hearts in sincerity with Allah, Mighty and Majestic?
The Shaykh:
We train our hearts in sincerity with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, by maintaining obedience to Allah, worshipping Him, and remembering Him. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:28-29] So you must increase in the remembrance of Allah until your heart lives and is trained in goodness, and do not be negligent of the remembrance of Allah [Al-Hashr 59:19] their souls. Do not be negligent of the remembrance of Allah until your heart lives and finds peace; your heart finds peace, [Ar-Ra'd 13:28]. As for the second question, which is the issue that has spread about the Russians digging in the earth with a large excavator until they heard the voices of the tortured. We believe in the punishment of the grave. The evidence has been transmitted unanimously that a person is either blessed in his grave or tortured in his grave. This is part of the Muslim creed: belief in the punishment of the grave. As for this incident that was promoted, it has no basis. It has no basis. The punishment of the grave does not require an excavator, nor does it require... The punishment of the grave, the grave, as you know, does not require an excavator; it is close, close to the surface of the earth. Some people may hear it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves and said: So the punishment of the grave is a reality.
So it is obligatory to believe in it, but it is from the knowledge of the unseen which no one knows except Allah. Allah has hidden it from us because we are not able to hear it, as a mercy for us. Some people may hear it or some people may see it in order to establish the proof. As for what was mentioned in this story, it has no basis, and the news of disbelievers is not accepted. The voices are not necessarily from the dead; the voices may be recorded from a play or from a meeting and markets with noise. This is not necessary. Yes.

(28) Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." (29) Those who have believed and done righteous deeds - a good state is theirs and a good return.
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍAnd be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَأَنسَاهُمْUnquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُIndeed, they are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a small matter, but rather it is a great matter. As for one of them, he used to walk around spreading backbiting, and as for the other, he used not to guard himself from his urine.
إنهما ليعذبان، ما يعذبان في كبير، بل إنه كبير، أما أحدهما فكان يمشي بالنميمة، وأما الآخر فكان لا يستبدئ من بولهSo it is obligatory to believe in it, but it is from the knowledge of the unseen which no one knows except Allah. Allah has hidden it from us because we are not able to hear it, as a mercy for us. Some people may hear it or some people may see it in order to establish the proof.
