Awliya adab

It is narrated that once a Janazah went pass the Prophet (ﷺ), and some of his Companions praised the dead person, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “It has been affirmed to him”. They asked What?. He said “The Jannah”, giving the reason for it as “You are the Witnesses of Allah on this Earth” (Antum Shuhad’a Allah fil Ard).

The Prophet, sall-Allahu `alayhi wa sallam, also said: “Any Muslim, who is attested by four people to have Good Nature-Allah will enter him into Paradise”.

We say, the Awliya of this Ummah are attested by Millions of Pious Muslims to be from the Friends of Allah.

To have a bad opinion of an ordinary Human Being is a sin, let alone to question the Imaan of those Saints whose holy lives and examples have inspired generations of True Believers in Allah.

“To brand a Muslim as a Kafir is one of the gravest sins in Islam. We worship Allah, subhanaHu wa Ta`ala, and honour his friends.Shirk is related to one’s internal belief concerning Allah, it is not about kissing and respecting.

To consider acts of love and respect as Shirk is a trivialization of the concept of Shirk. In fact, to call Muslims as Mushriks on issues of difference is the real Bid’ah that is plaguing the Ummah of Islam.

Why punishment is reduced due to plants on grave?
The reason is that trees, leaves, plants do “Dhikr of Allah” so the logic of Adhaab being reduced is that till the time they remain fresh they will do dhikr due to which the punishment on Sahib-e-Qabr will be reduced, when Tasbih of Plants benefits the deceased then imagine the benefit of humans reciting Quran at graves and denoting the thawaab.

This is why Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (rah) said: The meaning of it is that till the time the stem remains fresh it will keep on doing Tasbih and due to Barakah of that Tasbih the punishment will be reduced. It is also derived from this that everything which has freshness from trees/plants then to put it on graves is a cause of reducing punishment. Similarly “EVERYTHING WHICH HAS BARAKAH LIKE DHIKR AND RECITATION OF QURAN, IS MORE AWLA (I.E. GREATER) IN THIS REGARD” [Fath ul Bari, Sharh Sahih ul-Bukhari (1/426)]

Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah on real Salaf as-Saliheen(He states in his Kitab ar-Ruh:
It is narrated from a group of Salaf that they advised to recite Quran on their graves after burying them. Abdul Haq has narrated that Ibn Umar (RA) ordered (others) to recite Surah Baqarah on his grave. Muala bin Abdur Rahman also holds the same opinion, Imam Ahmed (rah) did not agree to this in the beginning because proof had not reached him then, however later he agreed. [Kitab ar Ruh by Ibn Qayyim, Page No. 64, Published by Dar Ibn Kathir, Damascus, Syria]
 

Imam Zayn ud-din Ibn Nujaim al-Misri (rah) said: According to us the thawaab of deeds performed by one person reaches the other, this includes Praying, Fasting, Charity, “RECITATION OF QURAN”, Dhikr, Tawaf, Hajj, Umra or any other (good) deeds. This is proven from Quran and Sunnah [Al-Bahr ar-Ra’iq Sharah Kanz al Daq’aiq (3/62)]Also refer to Hashiya Dur ul Mukhtar by Allama Ibn Abideen ash-Shami (rah) [Volume No. 4, Page Nos: 12-28]

Imam Ibrahim al-Nakha’I (rah) said: There is no harm in reciting Quran inside tombs[Al Qira’Andd al Quboor by Imam al-Khalal Abu Bakr (rah),Page No.3]

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)
