- Disbelievers and sinners who mock and ridicule believers in this dunya will face justice on the Day of Judgment, where believers will be honored and comforted.
- A person's grave (Qabar) will either expand through Iman and righteous deeds or constrain them severely.

Practical Advice

- Take an afternoon nap (Qaylula) to stay fresh and energized for night prayers.
