What dua should be read to the deceased. Muslim prayer for the dead. Full text of the prayer

Question from Rafael:

Do our duas benefit the dead? If yes, how?

As we know, one of the stages of eternal life is life in the grave. The difference with worldly life is that the soul is freed from the clothing of the body shell. Souls continue to live, feel, see, rejoice and grieve. Although we do not feel it, in fact the souls of the dead are not far from us. We are separated from them only by a veil.

It is sunnah to visit cemeteries. At the very beginning of his call, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade the Sahaba to visit cemeteries, since at that time visiting cemeteries was intertwined with various false and heretical beliefs. However, then visiting cemeteries was allowed so that the living could learn lessons and make dua for the dead. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself also visited cemeteries.

There is no fixed time to visit the cemeteries, so you can visit them at any time. There are narrations in which it is reported that it is especially good to make dua for the dead on Friday and on the day of Araf.

According to the words of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), there is great wisdom in visiting cemeteries. It was narrated from Abu Zerr (radiallahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Visit cemeteries to remember about akhirah. Wash the bodies of the dead. Because it will be a lesson and edification for you. Participate in janazah prayer so that your heart is filled with sadness. Since people who are overcome by sadness are under the protection of Allah ”(Ibn Abid-Dunya).

In the Qur'an, you can find an example of a dua that is made for people who lived earlier: “And those who came after them say:“ Our Lord! Forgive us and our brothers who believed before us! Do not instill hatred and envy in our hearts for those who believe. Our Lord! Verily, You are the Compassionate, the Merciful” (al-Hashr 59/10).
Also, one of the hadiths says: “When a person dies, all his deeds stop. With the exception of three things that are beneficial even after death: sadaqai-jariya (continuous sadaqah), useful knowledge and pious children (who make dua for him) ”(Muslim).

Another hadith says: “Truly, a dead person is like a drowning man, waiting for help from his parents and friends, in the form of a dua. When their duas reach him, then for him it is more beloved than this whole world and what is in it ”(Baykhaki).

Thus, we can say that our duas will reach the dead, and they will also receive a reward for the good deeds performed by the living on their behalf. When visiting cemeteries, one should make dua for the dead. It is also desirable to plant trees and flowers on the graves. Since the hadiths say that trees and plants become a cause of relief for the deceased.

The theme of death is one of the key in any religion. And this is not surprising, because it is the thoughts of the inevitable departure to the Eternal world that largely determine the behavior of believers in earthly life.

In Islam, much attention is paid to ensuring that a person will be rewarded with a better fate after death. Relatives, friends and relatives of the deceased, as a rule, pray to the Almighty to place the soul of the deceased in the Gardens of Eden and forgive his sins. This purpose is served by various duas, the texts of which are given below. Caught next to the dying by a person, at the moment when the eyes of the deceased are closed, it is advisable to turn to Allah with the following prayer:

"Allahummyagfir (say the name of the deceased) uarfyag darajyatahu fil-madiyana wahlufhu fii a’kybihi fil-gabiriinya waagfirlyana wa lahu ya rabbalal alyamiin. Wafsi lahu fii kabrihi wa nyauuir lahu fiih "

Meaning translation:“Oh Allah! sorry (deceased's name), raise his degree among those led by the right path, become his successor for those who remain after him, forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds! And make spacious for him his grave and light it for him!”

Many Muslims know the phrase that should be pronounced, upon hearing the news of someone's death:

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

Innya lillahi, ya innya ilyakhi rajigun

Meaning translation: Verily, we belong to Allah and to Him we return!

Directly after burial It is advisable to turn to the Almighty with the following words:

"Allahummya-gfir lahullahummya sabbithu"

Meaning translation:"O Allah, forgive him! O Allah, strengthen him!”

In the biography of the Grace of the Worlds of Muhammad (S.G.V.) it is mentioned that usually after the completion of the burial, the Prophet (S.G.V.) stood for several minutes at the grave, and then addressed the audience: “Pray (your Creator) for forgiveness for your brother (sister) and ask Allah (him or her) to strengthen, for, truly, now he (she) is being asked questions ”(Abu Dawud and al-Bayhaki).

Further, remembering those who have gone to another world brothers and sisters, Muslims resort to special duas - they can be read as mother tongue as well as in Arabic. Here are some examples of such prayers:

"Allahummyagfir-Leahu uarhyamhu uagafihi uagfu a'nhu ya akrim nuzullyahu yacc ya 'mudhalyahu uagsilhu bil-name-and uassyaldzhi uabyaradi ya nyakkyhi minyal-hataaya kyamya nyakkaytyal-syaubyal abyyada minyad-ya-dyanyasi abdilhu dyaran hayran min dyarihi ya ahlyal hayran min ahlihi uaziaujyan khairan min zyaujihi wa-ajilhul-jyannyatya wa agyinzhu min a'zyabil-kabri wa a'zyabin-nyar"

Meaning translation:“O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and deliver him and show him mercy. And give him a good welcome and make his entrance(meaning the grave - approx. site )spacious, and wash it with water, snow and hail(i.e., a request is metaphorically expressed to provide the deceased with all kinds of graces and grant him forgiveness for all his sins and omissions - approx. site ), and cleanse him of sins just as You cleanse white clothes from dirt, and give him in return a house better than his house, and a family better than his family, and a wife better than his wife, and enter into paradise, and protect him from the torment of the grave and from the torment of fire!(This text of the dua is given in the hadith narrated by Muslim)

“Allahummya-gfir lihiyyanya wa myyyitinya wa shahidinya waga-i-binya wa sagyirinya wa kabiiirinya wa zyakyarinya uya unxianya. Allahhummya myan ayayahu minnya fya-ahyhihi a’lal-islamy wa myan tyayuyaffyahu minnya fyatyauaffyahu a’lal-name. Allahhummya la tyahrimna ajrahu wa la tudyllyanya byadyah "

Meaning translation:“O Allah, forgive our living and dead, present and absent, young and old, men and women! O Allah, make sure that those of us whom You give life live according to (the regulations of) Islam, and those of us whom You give rest, rest in faith! Oh Allah, do not deprive us of the reward for it(that is, rewards for patience during trials - approx. site ) and do not lead us astray after him (i.e. after his death)!”(Occurs in the hadith collections of Ibn Maji and Ahmad).

"Allahummy innya (deceased's name) fii zimmyatikya hyabli dzhyavyarikya fakihi min fitnyatil-kaabri wa a’zaabin-nnyari wa antya ahlul-vyafya-i vyal-hyakk. Fyaghfirlyahu varhyamhyu innyakya antal-gafurur-rahiim"

Meaning translation:"O Allah, indeed (deceased's name) is under Your protection and protection, save him from the temptation of the grave and the torment of fire. After all, You keep promises and show justice! Forgive him and have mercy on him, verily, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful!”(This dua is given in the hadith from Ibn Maji and Abu Dawud).

“Allahummya a’bdukya vyabnu amyatikya ikhtyadzhya ilya rakhmyatikya wa antya ganiyyun a’n a’zabihi in kyanya mukhsinn fyazid fii hyasyanyatihi wa in kyanya musii-an fyatyajyauzz a’nhu”

Meaning translation:“Oh Allah! Your servant and the son of Your servant needed Your mercy, and You do not need his torment! If he did good deeds, then add them to him, and if he did bad deeds, then do not charge him!”(The text of the dua according to the hadith transmitted by al-Hakim).

There is also a separate dua, which is resorted to in the situation of the ascension of the funeral prayers for a dead child

"Allahumma-ja'lhu lyanya fyaratan wa salaafyan wa ajran"

Translation:“O Allah, make it so that he is ahead of us (in paradise) and becomes our predecessor and reward for us!”

Dua in the cemetery

It is known that Muslims regularly visit the graves of their loved ones and ancestors. is also part of the tradition of holding the main Islamic holidays - Eid al-Adha (Kurban Bayram) and Eid al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr).

Aisha bint Abu Bakr (r.a.) said that the Prophet Muhammad (s.g.v.) often went to the churchyard of Al-Baqi and said such text dua at the entrance to the cemetery:

"Assalyamu alaikum! Darra kaumin mukminina, wa atakum mat tuaduna, gadan muajzhalun, wa innya, inshallah, bikum lyakhikun. Allahum-agfirli ahli Bakiil-Gharkad ”(hadith from Muslim)

Meaning translation: "Peace to you! O those who are in the abode of the faithful, the promise has come, and tomorrow the turn will come for us, and, truly, be it the will of the Lord, we will come to you. Oh Lord! Forgive the sins of those buried on Baki."

In addition, while staying in places of mass graves of people, you can say the words:

“Assalamu alaikum, yaa ahlil-kubur. Yagfirullahu la nahua lakum. An-tum salafuna, wa nah-nu bil-asaar ”(Tirmizi)

Meaning translation: “Peace to you who are underground (in the graves). May the Almighty forgive both you and us. You have passed into the other world before, and we will be next.”

But how useful for dead people will be good deeds done in their favor - prayer and alms? This question occupies the minds of Islamic scholars, among whom there are those who question the possibility of helping the dead with living people.

Arguments of those who are in favor

To begin with, it is necessary to give arguments that will allow an affirmative answer to the above question:

1. There is a verse in the Holy Quran which describes how new generations of Muslims will ask for forgiveness for their dead predecessors:

“And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us and our brothers who believed before us! Do not plant in our hearts hatred and envy for those who believed. Our Lord! "" (59:10)

This verse is an example of how Muslims should address the Almighty for previous generations of Muslims who have already left this world. If there were no special benefit for the dead in this action, then, obviously, the revelation of such an verse would not make sense.

2. Very often you can find a hadith that talks about deeds that benefit a person after death. “When a person dies, the list of his good deeds closes [that is, it can no longer be replenished], however, three actions will bring him reward in the grave. It is an alms given to other people who continue to use it, the production of knowledge and a well-bred child who will pray for his parent after his death ”(Muslim).

3. (funeral prayer) is, in fact, a request to the Creator for the forgiveness of the sins of the deceased. In addition, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the completion of all the necessary procedures for preparing the deceased for burial, said to the companions the following words: “Make dua for the salvation of the soul of our brother, his manifestation of stamina and firmness, because right now he is being tested in grave" (Abu Dawud). In another hadith, which is given in the collection of Imam Muslim, it is said that people who come to the funeral prayer will actually intercede for the deceased. If there are at least a hundred such people, then Allah will accept their intercession for him.

4. In a hadith transmitted by Aisha (r.a.), it is reported that once a man addressed the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.v.) and asked: “My mother died. Despite this, I feel that if she were alive, she would give alms to those in need. Can I do this deed instead of her now?” The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) answered this question in the affirmative (cited by Bukhari and Muslim).

5. Another argument in favor of the need to pray for the salvation of the souls of the dead is the norm from Islamic law, which allows you to make a pilgrimage (hajj) for the deceased.

6. In one of the hadiths of the Mercy of the worlds of Muhammad (s.g.v.) the following situation is given. A sheep was brought to him, which he slaughtered himself. After that, the Prophet (pbuh) said: “For the pleasure of the Almighty. Allah is great! I performed this action for myself personally and for all those members of my community who could not perform the sacrifice ”(Abu Dawood, Tirmizi).

Arguments of Opponents of Prayer for the Dead

Many other arguments can be cited in favor of the need to perform good deeds on behalf of the deceased. However, representatives in the Middle Ages strongly opposed this. Here are some of their arguments:

1) Mutazilites, who preached in their writings the need to rely solely on reason when studying Holy Quran cite the following verse:

"Every man is a hostage to what he has acquired" (74:38)

They argue that a person cannot count on success at the expense of other people. However, the Mu'tazilites overlook the fact that the verse refers only to sinful deeds. The verse does not apply to good deeds.

2) Another verse of the Holy Qur'an was a frequent tool in the hands of the Mu'tazilites:

“A person will receive only what he aspired to” (53:39)

From this follows the conclusion that the servant of Allah cannot count on the deeds committed by other people. However, this argument of the Mu'tazilites can be answered from several positions at once. Let's start with the fact that the above verse is. Its legal component is replaced by the verse from Surah "Mountain":

“We will reunite the believers with their descendants who followed them in the faith, and we will not diminish their deeds in the least” (52:21)

Islamic theologians interpret this text of the Holy Scripture in the sense that on the Day of Judgment, the righteous children of their parents will be able to weigh down their scales, which will contain good deeds. This is also stated in the above hadith about three things that will bring God's reward to a person after death.

Further, it is worth noting that the verse mentioned by the Mu'tazilites refers to the infidels and those who hypocritically covered themselves with Islam. In some narrations, it is stated that the person referred to in the verse is Abu Jahl, who brought much harm to the first Muslims and left this world in disbelief. Thus, the Mu'tazilite view of the issue under consideration is rejected by the vast majority of Muslim scholars.

As we know, once a person leaves this world, he no longer has the opportunity to perform deeds for which he will receive a reward. However, each person has the opportunity to receive a reward after death.

If a person bequeaths (to his heirs) to spend the property that he leaves after death for good deeds, then he will be able to receive the same reward for this, which he would have received if he had spent it during his lifetime. A person receives the same reward if he spent his property for a good cause ( for example, the construction of mosques, madrasahs, roads, bridges, water pipes, etc.), the fruits of which people will enjoy after his death. There are two more ways in which a person can continue to receive a reward after leaving for another world - these are useful knowledge left by a person and a child who will pray for him.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

إذا مات الإنسان انقطع عمله إلاّ من ثلاث: صدقة جارية أو علم ينتفع به أو ولد صالح يدعو له

« When a person dies, all his deeds cease, with the exception of three deeds, the reward for which does not stop even after death: continuous alms (sadaka jariya), knowledge from which people benefit, and righteous children who pray for parents ". (Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmizi)

As we can see, in this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ indicates that the prayers of the righteous children benefit the deceased, therefore, his sins can also be forgiven. This also includes reading the Qur'an for the deceased. Although the recitation of the Qur'an by any person can benefit the deceased if one of his children does it, accordingly, the deceased receives a great reward. The Qur'an for deceased parents and other relatives can be read at home, in a mosque or in other suitable places, but it is preferable to do this near the graves of the dead.

Visiting the graves of relatives and friends, and especially parents, is an important Sunnah. As narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the most comforting time for the deceased is the time when he is visited by a person whom he loved in worldly life.

It is also narrated from Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say:

مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ وَالِدَيْهِ كُلّ جُمُعَةٍ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا ، فَقَرَأَ عِنْدَهُمَا أَوْ عِنْدَهُ يس ، غُفِرَ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ كل آية وحرف منها

« Whoever visits every Friday the graves of his parents or one of them and read the sura "Yasin" near them, the Almighty will forgive him as many sins as there are letters and words in this sura ». ( Dailami)

It happens that a person during the life of his parents tormented them. But if, after their death, he incessantly prays for them, Allah Almighty can forgive and record his name among those who were submissive to their parents.

From this, too, it is clear that a person who visits the graves of his parents is one who obeys them, does not harm or torment them, and fulfills his duty to them. When visiting the graves of parents, it is necessary to behave in an appropriate manner, observing ethical standards. It is necessary to stand next to them at the same distance as they did during their lifetime, showing them respect and honor. You shouldn't raise your voice around them.

You should not knock on their graves, hug them, make a detour around them, and when leaving, you must behave in the same decent and respectful way as you did with them during life.

You should also make a dua after reading the Qur'an, whether it be near the graves or in other places, so that Almighty Allah accepts the reading and brings the reward for it to the dead. In this case, the hope of acceptance will be much greater.

Imam An-Nawawi he said the following about it: The most famous opinion of Imam Ash-Shafi'i is that the reward for reading the Qur'an cannot reach the deceased, but Shafi'i theologians believed that this was possible. If a person reads the Qur'an, then in conclusion let him say:

اَللَّهُمَّ أَوْصِلْ ثَوَابَ مَا قَرَأْتـُهُ إِلىَ فلان

« Allahhumma avsil sawaba ma karatuhu ilya fulyan ... »

« O Supreme! Bring the reward (savab) for what I have read to such and such (the name is called)". ("Mukhtasar tafsir Ibn Kathir"; "Al-Azkar")

Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami also writes about this:

« Receiving a reward for reading the Qur'an to the dead is not an end in itself, but the goal is a dua so that Allah has mercy and brings the same reward to the person for whom the dua is made". ("Al-Fatawa alfiqiya al-kubra")

Ibn al-Qasim in his book "Hashiya 'ala Tuhfat al-Muhtaj" adds:

« If a person at the beginning of the reading (of the Qur'an for the deceased) intends to give a reward to the deceased and makes a dua, then the deceased receives a reward for this reading. However, does this mean that the deceased receives the same reward as the reader, that is, the reader receives his reward, and the deceased also receives the same reward, or only the deceased receives the reward for reading, and the reader does not? There is disagreement on this score, but the heart still inclines towards the first (the deceased receives the same reward as the one who reads). This opinion also corresponds to the meaning implied by the words of Ibn As-Salah».

Based on all of the above, we can say that Allah Almighty forgives the sins of the deceased and brings to him a reward for if his relative, especially children, reads the Qur'an for him and makes a dua so that Allah brings him a reward for reading and forgives his sins.

V Islamic religion great importance focus on the theme of death. In order for Allah to forgive the deceased for sins and allow the soul to be in paradise, relatives read prayers performed with open palms that do not touch each other. The text of the dua for the deceased Muslim differs depending on the situation: there are duas for the child, relatives, for reading near the deceased.

When the eyes of the deceased are closed, a prayer sounds:

Allahummyagfir (name) uarfyag darajyatahu filmiyinya wahlufhu fiiakybihi filgabiriyina uagfirlyana walahuya rabbalal alyamiin. Wafsi lahufi kabrihi uanyauuir lahufih.

Dua means an appeal to Allah with a request to forgive the deceased, to raise him among the faithful, to become a successor for descendants. The text asks for forgiveness of sins, ends with a request for a spacious grave for the deceased Muslim.

Hearing about the death of a person, say the phrase:

We belong to Allah, and truly we return to Him.

In transliteration, the text of the dua for the deceased sounds:

Innyalillyahi, vyayinnya ilyaihi ajigun.

At burial

Muslim prayers for the dead are read before burial and after burial. At the end, the dua is said:

Allahhummya gfir lahullahummya sabbithu.

The text asks for forgiveness and strengthening of the soul of the deceased. The Prophet Muhammad addressed the relatives of the deceased after the funeral with advice to pray for the deceased, asking for strengthening of the spirit. According to Muhammad, after the burial, the soul of the deceased Muslim was asked questions, subjected to trials. Prayers make this step easier.

Duas at Muslim funerals are heard all the time. They read after the third takbir of the funeral prayer. Turning to Allah facilitates the posthumous fate of the deceased. After the fourth takbir, a dua is read at the funeral for devout Muslims.

At the commemoration

In Islam, the commemoration of the dead plays an important role: they are remembered, special duas are pronounced.

Texts are read on Arabic or the one spoken by a Muslim when praying for the soul of the deceased.

Examples of memorial prayers:

Allahummyagfirlyahu uarhyamhuuagafihi uagfu anhuuaakrim nuzullyahuua WACC mudhalyahu uagsilhu bilmyai uassyaldzhiuabyaradi uanyakkyhi minyalhataayakyamya nyakkaytyalsyaubyalabyyada minyaddyanyasi uaabdilhu dyaran Hairan mindyarihi uaahlyal Hairan minahlihi uazyaudzhyan Hairan minzyaudzhihi uaadzhilhuldzhyannyatya uaaginzhu minazyabilkabri uaazyabinnyar.

The text of the dua asking for mercy, a good reception of the deceased. A request to provide the deceased Muslim with all kinds of mercy, to forgive sins and bad deeds, to cleanse the soul, like clothes. Allah is asked to grant the soul new house, spouse and happy family, enter into paradise and prevent fiery torment.

Allahummyagfir lihiyyanyaua myyyitinya uashyahidinya wagaibinyaua sagiirinya uakyabiiirinya uazyakyarinya yaunsyanya. Allahummyamyan ahyayyahuminnya fyaahyihi alaallislamy wamyantyayaffyayyahu minnya fyatyauaffyahualalimyan. Allahhummala tyahrimnya ajrahuwala tudillanabadyah.

The meaning of the text of the dua: a request for forgiveness of Muslims present at the reading and absent. The prayer speaks of faith for the dead, life according to Islamic laws for the living, they are asked to show the right path and rewards for trials.

Allahhummyainnya (name) fiizimmyatikya hablidzhyavyarikya faqihi minfitnyatilkabri waazaabinnnyari uaantya ahlyulvafyai vyalhyakk. Fyagfirlyahu varhyamkhyuinnyakya antyalgafururrahim.

The meaning of the text: a request to save the deceased Muslim from the temptation of the grave. Dua asks for forgiveness and mercy. Allah is called to protect the deceased.

Allahummya abdukyabnyu amyatikya ikhtyajiyil rahmyatikya waantyaganiyun anazyabihi inkyanamukhsinn fyazidfii hyasyanyatihi wainkyanamusiyan fyatyadzhyauzzanhu.

The dua speaks of the mercy that the deceased needs. The mercy of Allah is invoked, who does not need the suffering of the deceased, a request is made to forgive dashing deeds and reward for good deeds.

There is a separate memorial Muslim prayer. It is read by Muslim women whose child or infant has died. Text:

Allahummyadzhalhu lyanafyaratan wasalafyan waajran.

The meaning of the dua: a prayer for the fate of the child. Request that he be in paradise before his parents, and there he met them.

They pray for Muslims at the cemetery, where they come in the morning, afternoon or evening.

Visiting the graveyard, planting plants, flowers, trees at the burial site is Sunnah. Tombstones on the graves of the dead are made modest, with the name, dates of life and death of the deceased. Surahs of the Koran may be engraved on the monuments.

Entering the cemetery, say the text:

Assalamu alaikum ahladdiyari minalmuminina valmuslimin. Wayne inshallah lalahikun. Asalullah lanava lakumulafiya.

This dua is a greeting to believing Muslims buried in a cemetery. It expresses the belief that the living will join them, a request for well-being for the living and the dead.

Sometimes they say the text:

Assalamualaikum yaahlilkubur. Yagfirullahulanaualakum. Antum salafuna, wanahnubilasaar.

This is a wish for peace to the dead Muslims, a request for forgiveness, an appeal to those buried in the cemetery.

Hukm commemoration does not legitimize the distribution of refreshments to save the soul of the deceased. However, relatives or neighbors may prepare food and bring it to the relatives of the deceased who handle the funeral.

What suras from the Koran to read for the deceased

For the benefit of the souls of Muslims, protecting them from the temptation of the grave and fiery torment, you can read about the deceased suras:

• al-Baqara;
• Yasin;
• al-Ikhlas;
• al-Fatiha;
• ar-Rad.

Is it possible to read the Quran in a cemetery

Reading the Quran at the grave is essential. The punishment of the dead is facilitated on the day of the recitation of the dua and other sacred texts of Islam. The deceased can be given savvab, doing dhikr. On behalf of the deceased, you can do the Hajj, there is no prohibition on this.

Reading the Koran is allowed in the original, in Arabic and in transliteration. If a Muslim does not speak Arabic, he must pronounce the words of the dua in transliteration, but understand and know the essence of the suras. Reading a text without realizing the meaning is not helpful.

There is a separate verse in the Qur'an that describes how future generations of Muslims pray and ask for forgiveness for the actions of deceased relatives. This text is an example of how to commemorate the dead. Scholars and muffasirs argue that if the reading of the Qur'an and memorial duas were meaningless and useless, the verse would not have been revealed by the word of Allah.

A popular hadith mentions deeds that benefit a Muslim after completing his earthly journey.

Although the list of lifetime deeds is over, it cannot be supplemented with new ones, there are three deeds that will bring reward to the deceased after death:

• a well-bred child who does not forget about his parents will say funeral duas for his mother or father;
• creation of knowledge pleasing to Allah;
• alms given to those who received it.

Another fact testifies to the benefits of reading the texts of the Koran on the grave of a Muslim or memorial duas. A funeral prayer is a petition for the forgiveness of the deceased, deliverance from his sins. Prophet Muhammad also spoke about the need for reading.

In Islamic law, there is a rule that allows you to make a pilgrimage for the deceased Muslim. This is a useful addition to the pronunciation of the dua for the dead and memorial prayers.

There is a hadith in the collection of Imam Muslim. It says that Muslims who come to the funeral prayer stand up for the deceased. If at least a hundred people came, Allah accepts intercession.

Dua for the dead is a Muslim way to commemorate loved ones, to alleviate their posthumous fate. They read texts at home, in a mosque or in a cemetery. Do not forget about good deeds - part of the award is attributed to older relatives, parents after death.
