SURAH MULK
Reciting Surah Mulk every night will, Insha-Allah, save one from the questioning in the Grave.
APPARITIONS
Hadhrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) narrating a Hadith said that if you see any apparition (evil jinn/ghost, and the like, then recite the Athaan. Evil forces flee from the Athaan.
INTEREST
Allah Ta’ala revealed to Hadhrat Nabi Musa (alayhis salaam) that the punishment in Jahannum for those who devour interest will be the thorns of the Tree of Zaqqoom which is a ghastly tree of torture in the Fire. Thorns from Zaqqoom will be forced down their throats. May Allah Ta’ala save us from His Wrath.
