Mourning Excessively for the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) warned against mourning excessively for the deceased as it causes them to be tortured in their graves.

'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet said, "The deceased is tortured in his grave for bewailing over him". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال النبي ‏:‏‏"‏الميت يُعذب في قبره بما نِيح عليه ‏"‏‏. وَفِي روايةٍ:"مَا نِيحَ علَيْهِ"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Show love and respect for those who have passed away by praying for them and remembering them fondly without going overboard with grief

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should not mourn excessively for those who have passed away. Doing so will cause them to be punished and tormented in their graves. We should remember that death is a part of life and is inevitable; therefore we must accept it with patience and faith. We can still show our love and respect for the deceased by praying for them and remembering them fondly without going overboard with grief. It is important to remember that Allah knows best what is good for us all, so we must trust His plan even when it may seem difficult or unfair at times.
