إِنَّمَا الْقَبْرُ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ حُفْرَةٌ مِنْ حُفَرِ النَّارِ
The grave is a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of the Fire.

الْقَبْرُ means “grave,” رَوْضَةٌ “garden,” and حُفْرَةٌ “pit.” The report uses two contrasting images to convey comfort and distress in the Hereafter.

إِنَّمَا conveys restriction; الْقَبْرُ is the subject and رَوْضَةٌ its predicate. أَوْ means “or” and introduces the contrasting possibility حُفْرَةٌ.

The purpose is to encourage preparation for the life to come, not speculation about unseen details. This brief text does not establish a definite judgment about the grave of any named deceased person.
