It is permitted to write the Ahad Nama or Kalima Tayyiba either on the deceased’s forehead or kafn. Similarly, placing the Ahad Nama in the grave is also allowed (written either with the finger or with something else).

Imam Tirmidhi states  Hakeem ibn Ali (ra)narrates that the Holy Prophet(ﷺ)said, “He who writes this dua on a piece of paper and places it between the kafn and chest of the deceased causes the deceased to not undergo punishment in the grave and not see Munkar and Nakeer (the two angels who question the inmates of the grave).” – Nawaadirul-Usool

Tirmidhi narrates from Akbar that when a person recites the Ahad Nama, the angels place a stamp on it and keep it for Qiyaamat. When the deceased is resurrected, they produce this stamped pact and ask, “Where is the person of the pact?” They will then return it to him. – AI-Harful-Hasan

Imam Tirmidhi states, “It is reported that Hadrat Ta’oos (ra)ordered these words to be written. Thus, they were written on his kafn.”  – Al-Harful­Hasan

Imam Kurduri (ra)writes, “Imam Saffar (ra), has said, “If the Ahad Nama is written on the forehead, turban or kafn of the deceased, it is hoped that Allahﷻwill forgive him and save him from the punishment of the grave.” -Wajeez, Kitaabul-Istihsaan

Durre-Mukhtaar states, “If the Ahad Nama is written on the forehead, turban or kafu of the deceased, it is hoped that Allahﷻwill grant him forgiveness.” -Vol. 1, Baabush-Shaheed .

Fataawa Bazaaziya states, “If the Ahad Nama is written on the forehead, turban or kafn of the deceased, it is hoped that Allahﷻwill forgive and protect him from the punishment of the grave. Imam Naseer states that from this narration, it is known that writing this is permissible. It has also been narrated that Hadrat Umar (ra)wrote on the thighs of the horses of Astabul: ‘Hubisaa -Sabeelillah’.” Just before Kitaabul-Jinaayaat

1. When the tasbeeh of grass and fresh flowers on top of the grave benefits the deceased, why can’t the tasbeeh, etc. that is written benefit him?

2. We are instructed to encourage the recitation of the Kalima (Talqeen) to the deceased from outside the grave so that the name of Allahﷻreaches his ear and he is successful in the test of the Qabr. So, it is hoped that the deceased answers the two angels (Nakeerain) successfully upon also seeing the written name of Allahﷻinside. This is also a type of Talqeen, and the order to make Talqeen is absolute in the Hadith (‘Laqqqinoo Amwaatakwn’). Therefore, it is correct in any way performed, be it verbally or in writing.

3. Through the blessings of the names of the favoured servants of Allahﷻ, difficulties are removed, fires are extinguished and an uneasy heart attains satisfaction. Allahﷻstate, through the remembrance (zikr) of Allahﷻdo hearts gain serenity . – 13/28

Under the ayat, “ما یعلمھم الا قلیل ” Tafseer Nishaanpuri, Roohul-Bayaan and Tafseer Saawi state that the names of the Ashaab-e-Kahf (People of the Cave) are beneficial at many instances, (-Al-­Harful-Hasan, Tafseer Khazaatnul-Irfaan, Jumal)

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra)states that there are seven names of the People of the Cave (Yamleekhah, Makshileenah, MasWeena Mamoosh, Dabamoosh, Shaaznoosh and Martoosh (ra)) – Roohul-Bayaan

After death, everybody gains the ability to read. Illiteracy can exist in this world, not in the Hereafter. The Hadith states that the language of the people ofJannat is Arabic. – Shaami, Kitaabul-Karaahiyat However, there are many umamatis in the world who do not know Arabic. Similarly, the angels question every deceased in Arabic and they understand the language.

Even on the Day of Mithaaq, Allahﷻtook a pledge from every soul in Arabic. So do the deceased attend a Madrassh after death to learn Arabic? No. It comes to him instinctively.

On the Day of Qiyaamat, people will be given their deeds (Naama-e-Aamaal) in written form and both the learned and the illiterate will be able to read it. This proves that after death, everybody can understand and read the language of our Beloved Nabi (ﷺ). Therefore, this written document (The Ahad Nama) is beneficial to the deceased.

Writing something on the forehead of the deceased or chest with the finger, or keeping the Ahad Nama in a niche within the grave, is permissible because in these cases there is no fear of the letters being disrespected.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
