Fragrance from a Grave The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Whoever wants to love Allah and His Messenger, then let him read the Mushaf (Quran). [Al-Jaami as-Sagheer min Hadeeth al-Basheer an-Nadheer by Imaam As-Suyooti] A group of learned scholars were travelling through some villages of Pakistan. They reached a particular village where some people came up to them and requested them to visit a graveyard. Upon reaching the graveyard, they smelt a beautiful fragrance coming out from one of the newly dug graves. The villagers asked the scholars if they knew why this scent was emanating from the grave. The scholars decided to meet some family members of the deceased to find out what he used to do. After meeting them they discovered that the man didnt know how to read the Quran; however, after every Fajr prayer, he would sit with the Quran and put his fingers on its Ayaat and say My Lord has spoken the truth here. My Lord has spoken the truth here. The scholars concluded that the beautiful fragrance emanating from the grave was a result of his love for the Quran. May Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) bless our hearts with love for Him, His Book and His Messenger. Ameen. It is wonderful to know that there is something we can do to acquire greater love for Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) and His Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam): Read the Quran regularly.
