The custom in our country is to put a stone, concrete or a peg at the head and foot of the grave, or sometimes just at the head. What is the Islamic ruling on that?
And the scholar replies
Praise be to Allah.
Islam forbids erecting structures over graves, and commands that any such structures should be knocked down. But it is permitted to put a marker on the grave so that the family and friends of the deceased will know where it is. However, this marker should not be a structure or anything else that is not allowed in sharia.
And Allah knows best
Islam…the belief/submission to one God, does not forbid erecting structures over graves. Shirks forbid that, not God. hadith IS shirk.

The torment in the grave will vary according to the sins committed by the person in this world, whether he was a kaafir or a disobedient Muslim. There are solid Hadith which describe this torment for the people who commit these sins. For example:
WARNING! THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT FROM THE QURAN AND BELIEVING THEM COULD CAUSE THEM TO HAPPEN TO YOU!! FOR SAFTEY REASONS WE SUGGEST THAT YOU READ THEM WITH ONLY ONE EYEBALL!!
Being struck with an iron hammer
And how do we know this is true? Because of the Hadith of hell

And how do we know this is true? Because of the Hadith of hell
Bukhari says that the Prophet said: “When a person is placed in his grave and his companions leave him, two angels come to him and make him sit up, and they ask him,
‘What did you say about this man Muhammad?’
He says, ‘I bear witness that he is the slave of Allah and His Messenger.’ It is said, ‘Look at your place in Hell which Allah has replaced for you with a place in Paradise.’”
‘What did you say about this man Muhammad?’
He says, ‘I bear witness that he is the slave of Allah and His Messenger.’ It is said, ‘Look at your place in Hell which Allah has replaced for you with a place in Paradise.’”
But as for the kaafir or hypocrite, he says, ‘I do not know, I used to say what the people said.’ It is said, ‘You did not know and you did not follow those who knew.’
Then he is struck a blow with an iron hammer between his ears and he screams a scream which everything around him can hear apart from the two races of mankind and the jinn.”
And those who follow Hadith deserve a blow between the ears.

Dawood narrated another Hadith that Aazib said: “When the disbelieving slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with black faces, bringing sackcloth, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see.
Then his soul disperses inside his body, and then comes out cutting the veins and nerves, like a skewer passing through wet wool.
When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that sackcloth, and there comes from it a stench like the foulest stench of a dead body on the face of the earth.
Then this verse was revealed
7:40 “for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle”
Does that passage sound familiar to my Christian friends?

Then the Messenger recited the verse:
22:31 “and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place”
Buky and his friends have been partners to Allah.
Buky and his friends have been partners to Allah.
He said: “‘Prepare for him a bed from Hell and clothe him from Hell, and open for him a gate to Hell.’
Then there comes to him some of its heat and hot winds, and his grave is constricted and compresses him until his ribs interlock. Then there comes to him a man with an ugly face and ugly clothes, and a foul stench, who says, ‘Receive the bad news, this is the day that you were promised.’
He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which forebodes evil.’ ‘I am your evil deeds.’
This Hadith was classed as reliable by Shaykh al-Albaani in Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz,
who are now being hit with iron hammers…

Being swallowed up by the earth.
Bukhari says; It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet said: “Whilst a man was dragging his lower garment out of pride, the earth swallowed him up and he will continue sinking into the earth until the Day of Resurrection.”
It seems that only happened to one man. Buky also includes all of the following;

The edge of the mouth being torn to the back of the head
The head being smashed with a rock
Being burned in an tannoor oven (an oven used to bake bread)
Swimming in a river of blood whilst being pelted with stones.
And the Hadith to explain these horror stories….
One morning the Messenger said, “Last night, two people came to me in a dream, and woke me up and said, ‘Let’s go!’ I set out with them, and we came across a man who was lying down, with another man standing over him, holding a big rock.
He threw the rock at the man's head, smashing it. The rock rolled away, and the one who had thrown it followed it, and picked it up. By the time he came back to the man, his head had been restored to its former state. Then he (the one who had thrown the rock) did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, ‘Who are these two persons?’ They said, ‘Move on!’
So we went on, and came to a man who was lying flat on his back, with another man standing over him, holding an iron hook. He put the hook in the man's mouth and tore off that side of his face to the back (of his neck), and he tore his nose and his eye from front to back in a similar manner. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did likewise. No sooner had he finished the second side but the first side was restored to its former state, then he went back and did the same thing again. I said to my two companions, ‘Who are these two persons?’ They said, ‘Move on!’

I said to my two companions, ‘Who are these two persons?’ They said, ‘Move on!’
So we went on, and came to something like a tannoor (a kind of oven, lined with clay, usually used for baking bread). – I think the Prophet said, in that oven there was much noise and voices. We looked into it and saw naked men and women. A flame of fire was reaching them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried out loudly. I asked them, ‘Who are these?’ They said to me, ‘Move on!’
So we went on and came to a river – I think he said, red like blood. – In the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had gathered many stones. Whilst the swimmer was swimming, the man who had gathered the stones approached him. The swimmer opened his mouth and the man on the bank threw a stone into it, then the swimmer carried on swimming. Each time he came back, he opened his mouth again, and the man on the bank threw another stone into his mouth. I said to my two companions, ‘Who are these two persons?’ They said, ‘Move on’!

I said to them, I have seen many wonders this night. What do all these things mean that I have seen?’ They said: ‘We will tell you.
The first man you came across, whose head was being smashed with the rock is the man who goes to sleep, neglecting the obligatory prayers, who studies the Quran then he neither recites it nor acts upon it.
Ah, like those who quote and follow Hadith! Scary stuff!

Like the lame hadith, this is a lame video. OOOO...the scary rocking chair....it rocks all by itself....sure.
well, it is Halloween...
The man you came across whose mouth, nose and ears were being torn from front to back, is the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells a lie that is so serious that it spreads all over the world.
Ah, like those who quote Hadith as if it was sacred! Horrifying!!

The naked men and women whom you saw in a structure that resembled an oven are the adulterers and adulteresses and the man you saw swimming in the river with rocks being thrown into his mouth is the one who consumed riba (usury).”
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: This indicates that some sinners will be punished in the interval between death and the Day of Resurrection.
I believe all of those things should happen to those who follow, quote and teach Hadith. Why do I feel so strongly about this? Because Hadith is the foundation for Sharia, and the Sharia that we see is the main reason that the words ‘Muslim and Islam’ are now seen as dirty words.

Not taking care to avoid getting urine on oneself, and spreading malicious gossip among people
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger passed by two graves and said, “They are being punished, but they are not being punished for something that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip and the other used not to take care to avoid getting urine on himself. Most of the torment of the grave is because of urine, so be careful to avoid it.” Sometimes I wonder if Buky and his friends actually read the Quran.
More scary stories
Ahmad narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said: I attended a funeral with the Messenger who said: “O people, this ummah (community) will be tested in their graves. When a man is buried and his friends leave him, an angel with a hammer in his hand comes and sits by him and asks, ‘What do you say about this man?’ If he is a believer, he says, ‘I bear witness that there is only one God and that Muhammad is His Messenger.’ He says, ‘You have spoken the truth.’ Then a door to Hell is opened for him and he says, ‘This would have been your place if you had disbelieved in your Lord, but because you believed, this is your place.’
This Hadith says that ‘this’ community will be tested in their graves. Does that mean the community of the 7th century desert Arabs, or, does it mean that only Muslims will be tested in their grave? The latter would indicate that Allah doesn’t like Muslims.

But if he is an unbeliever or a hypocrite, the angel says to him, ‘What do you say about this man?’ He says, ‘I do not know, I heard the people saying something.’ The angel says, ‘You did not know and you did not follow those who knew and you were not guided.’
Then a door to Paradise is opened for him and he says, ‘This would have been your position if you had believed in your Lord. But because you disbelieved, Allah has replaced it for you with this.’ Then a gate to Hell is opened for him, and he strikes him a blow with the hammer which is heard by all of Allah’s creation apart from the two races (of mankind and the jinn).”
The poor guy answered truthfully. He heard the people saying ‘something’. Maybe the people were saying something about the stupid stories of what happens to you in the grave. Maybe the stupid stories were the reason he died an unbeliever.

At the end of the Hadith, he said concerning this one who was being punished: “is the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells a lie that is so serious that it spreads all over the world”. Narrated by Bukhari
Really Buky?? Your lies spread all throughout the world, causing problems. Quote the following instead

9:101 “And among the bedouins around you, some are hypocrites, and so are some among the people of Al‑Madinah who persist in hypocrisy; you know them not, We know them. We shall punish them twice, and thereafter they shall be brought back to a great horrible torment”
Forsaking the Quran after having learned it
In the Hadith of Samurah ibn Jundub he said: The Messenger said: “… we came across a man who was lying down, with another man standing over him, holding a big rock. He threw the rock at the man's head, smashing it. The rock rolled away, and the one who had thrown it followed it, and picked it up. By the time he came back to the man, his head had been restored to its former state. Then he (the one who had thrown the rock) did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, “Who are these two persons?’
‘The one whom you saw with his head being smashed with the rock, is the man who studies the Quran then he neither recites it nor acts upon it.’
How many times will they use that story?

Hypocrisy is one of the causes of the punishment in the grave
The hypocrites are those who most deserve to be punished in the grave. How can it be otherwise when they are the ones who will occupy the lowest level of Hell?
Right

Backbiting
Based on that, Bukhari included a chapter in the Book of Funerals called: “Punishment of the grave because of backbiting and urine.” Then he narrated therein the Hadith about the two graves quoted above, except that the version of al-Bukhari does not mention backbiting, rather it speaks of malicious gossip, but as was his wont, he referred to what was narrated in some versions of the hadeeth: “As for the other, he is being punished for backbiting.”
He could make up whatever he wanted.
He could make up whatever he wanted.
Lying
According to the Hadith of Samurah ibn Jundub, the Prophet said: “… We came to a man who was lying flat on his back, with another man standing over him, holding an iron hook. He put the hook in the man's mouth and tore off that side of his face to the back of his neck, and he tore his nose and his eye from front to back in a similar manner. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did likewise. No sooner had he finished the second side but the first side was restored to its former state, then he went back and did the same thing again. Hmmm….again?
We ask Allah to grant us refuge from the torment of the grave
