“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Essale sawaab

Performing Hajj includes Umrah, Tawaf of the Ka’ba, and also Salaat (after Tawaf) – all these are credited to the deceased.

“What is credited to a believer of his action and good deed after his death is

…any useful knowledge he might have taught or spread,

….a Allah-fearing child he might have left behind,

…a copy of the Qur’an he might have left to an heir,

…..a mosque he might have built,

….a house he might have dedicated for use by travelers,

….a stream or river he might have caused to run,

………a donation to charity (i.e. sadaqah) he might have set aside when he was enjoying good health.

All that catches up with him after his death.” (Ibn Majah)

The underlined words “a copy of the Qur’an he might have left to an heir” are an ample proof that when the heir will read from it, the reward will be passed on to the deceased.!!!

….He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection,

…..and he who finds relief for one who is hard pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter,

…..and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter.

…..Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother,

…..and he who treads the path in search of know- ledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him

…..and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur’an (among themselves) there would descend upon them the tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah makes a mention of them in the presence of those near Him

….and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) lineage does not make him go ahead. (Muslim)

…….. Had he been a Muslim and you had emancipated slaves on his behalf, or given sadaqah on his behalf, or performed the pilgrimage, that would have reached him. (Abu Daud)

Ibn Abbas (Ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ ) happened to pass by two graves and said: They (their occupants) are being tormented, but they are not tormented for a grievous sin. One of them carried tales and the other did not keep himself safe from being defiled by urine. He then called for a fresh twig and split it into two parts, and planted them on each grave and then said: Perhaps, their punishment way be mitigated as long as these twigs remain fresh.(Muslim)

Imam Nawawi in his Sharh Sahih Muslim (al-Mays ed. 3/4:206): “The scholars have declared desirable — mustahabb — the recitation of the Qur’an over the grave due to the above Hadeeth, because if relief from punishment is hoped for through the glorification of date-palm stalks, then the recitation of the Qur’an is more deserving yet, and Allah knows best.”

This Hadeeth also constitutes a legal basis for the planting of trees at the site of graves.

Among the Companions Hazrat Abu Barza al-Aslami (Ra) and Hazrat Burayda (Ra) asked to be buried together with two fresh stalks. Imam Suyuti mentioned this in “Sharh al-sudur”.

By making Esaale Sawaab, it gives comfort to the deceased, pleases them, saves them from the torment of the grave, elevates their status and causes benefit to the sender as well as the receiver.

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)
