The Heavens and the Earth Weep When the Believer Dies
Ibn Jarir recorded that Said bin Jubayr said, “A man came to Ibn Abbās, may Allah be pleased with him, and said to him: “O Abu Al-Abbās, Allāh says,
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالاٌّرْضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ
"And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite."
(Qur’ān 44:29)
— do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody?”
He, may Allāh be pleased with him, said,
“Yes, there is no one who does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allāh also weeps for him.”
But the people of Firawn left no trace of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to Allāh, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them
● {تفسير ابن كثير ٤٤:٢٩}
Here are some ways that we can live a more righteous life:
- Be kind and compassionate to others.
- Help those in need.
- Stand up for justice and what is right.
- Be humble and grateful for what we have.
- Pray to Allah and remember Him often.
- When we live a righteous life, we bring joy to the heavens and the earth. We also make the world a better place for everyone.
