Why is grandeur associated with the mighty dead?
The words ‘mighty dead¹ refer to those brave and magnificent people who have brought laurels during their life time. They remained powerful and their achievement made them great and mighty. Their work of excellence will remain echoing in the air for ever. Now these mighty dead fore-fathers lie burried in their graves. On the day of judgement, they will be rewarded by God for their noble deeds. It is this dignity which is associated with great souls.
