About the Quran:
>Assalam-o-Alekum
>
>When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral rites, there
>stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is
>shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the
>deceased. When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels,
>Munkar and Nakeer (names of two special Angels), come in the grave
>and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to
>interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the
>handsome
>man says, "He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him
>alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your
>job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise".
>Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says,
>
>"I am the Qura'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice
>and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry.
>
>After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.
>When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him
>from al_Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) a silk bedding filled
>with
musk.
>
>May Allah bestow this favour on all of us. AMEEN AMEEN
>
>Rasulullah :saws2: said, "On the Day of
>Judgement, before Allah, no other intercessor will have a greater
>status than the Qura'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel."
>
>Please keep forwarding this "Hadith" to all ...because the Prophet
:saws2: said: "Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one
>verse"
