Method
of Fatihah Secured from Hypocrisy and Fire (of Hell)
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Imām Sakhāwī
reports: The beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, "One who sends Durūd once upon
me, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows him with ten
blessings and the one who sends Durūd ten times upon me, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows him with hundred blessings, and
the one who sends Durūd hundred times, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
inscribes between his eyes that he is freed from hypocrisy and the fire of Hell
and he will be kept with the martyrs on the Day of Judgement."
(Al-Qawl-ul-Badi', pp.
233, Mausat-ur-Riyaan, Beirut)
صَلُّوا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Those whose parents or anyone of
them has passed away should not be heedless of them. They should visit their
parents' graves and keep making Iṣāl-e-Šawāb. Here are five blessed sayings of
the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard:
1.
Sawab of an Accepted Hajj
"Anyone visiting the graves of
one or of both his parents with the intention of Šawāb will earn the Šawāb of an
accepted Ḥajj and the one visiting their graves in abundance, angels will come
to visit his grave (when he dies)."
(Kanz-ul-'Ummāl, vol.
16, pp. 200, Ḥadīš 45536)
2.
Reward of Ten Ḥajj
"The one who performs Ḥajj on
behalf of his father or mother, Ḥajj would get offered on their behalf and he
himself will gain Šawāb of ten Ḥajj."
(Dar-e-Quṭnī, vol. 2,
pp. 229, Ḥadīš 2587)
سُبْحٰنَ
اللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Whenever
someone gets the privilege of performing Nafl Ḥajj he should make the intention
of performing it on behalf of his deceased parents so that they would also gain
the Šawāb of Ḥajj. The one doing so will get Šawāb of ten Ḥajj. If either of
the parents passed away without performing Ḥajj despite it being Farḍ, one
should get the privilege of performing 'Ḥajj-e-Badal' on behalf of his deceased
parents. (Details of 'Ḥajj-e-Badal' can be found in the book
'Rafīq-ul-Ḥarāmaīn' published by Maktaba-tul-Madīna).
3.
Charity on Behalf of Parents
"Whenever
anyone of you donates Nafl charity, he should do so on behalf of his parents so
that they would also gain its Šawāb without any reduction in the Šawāb of the
donor."
(Shu'ub-ul-Imān, V6,
P205, Ḥadīš 7911, Dār-ul-Kutub-ul-'Ilmiyyaĥ Beirut)
4. A
Cause of Reduction in Sustenance
"When a person abandons making
supplication for his parents, his sustenance is cut off."
(Kanz-ul-'Ummāl, vol.
16, pp. 201, Ḥadīš 45548)
صَلُّوا عَلَى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی الْحَبِيْب
عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
5.
Excellence of Visiting Graves on Friday
"The one who visits the grave
of either of or both his parents on Friday and recites Sūraĥ Yāsīn over there
will be forgiven."
(Ibn A'di fil Kamil,
vol. 6, pp. 260)
Dear Islamic brothers! The mercy of
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is enormous. The
portals of His mercy and bounties are open even for the Muslims who have passed
away. Here is a narration about the immense mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Read and rejoice!
Shrouds
Torn off
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Armiyā عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام, a Prophet of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, once passed by graves of some people who
were being tormented; a year later, when he passed by the same graves again, he
noticed that there was no punishment. He implored in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, 'Yā Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ!
Previously, they were being punished but now their punishment has come to an
end (what is the reason?)!' A voice said, "O Armiyā! Their shrouds tore to
pieces, their hair fell out and their graves were obliterated, so I had mercy
on them and I always have mercy on such people."
(Sharḥ-us-Sudūr, p.
313)
صَلُّوا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Three
Virtues of Conveying Šawāb
The
Blessings of Du'ā (Supplication)
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, "My Ummaĥ
will enter the grave with their sins but it will come out of graves without
sins as their sins are forgiven by virtue of the supplications of the
Muslims."
(Al-Mu'jam-ul-Awsaṭ,
vol. 1, pp. 509, Ḥadīš 1879)
Waiting
for Iīṣāl-e-Šawāb¹
The beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said, "The state of a deceased person in his grave is like that of a
drowning man; he waits anxiously for supplication from his father, mother,
brother or friend; when anyone's supplication reaches him, he finds it better
than the world & whatever is in it. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
bestows the Šawāb gifted by alive relatives upon the deceased like mountains.
The gift of the alive to the dead is to say prayer of forgiveness for
them."
(Shu'ub-ul-Imān, vol.
6, pp. 203, Ḥadīš 7905)
Excellence
of Supplicating for Forgiveness of Others
'Anyone who makes the supplication
of forgiveness for all the Muslim men and women, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ writes a good deed for him in return for
each and every Muslim men and women.'
(Majma'-uz-Zawāid,
vol. 10, pp. 352, Ḥadīš 17598)
صَلُّوا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
An
Easy Way to Earn Billions of Good Deeds
Dear Islamic brothers! Sway with
delight! We have got an easy way of earning millions and billions of good
deeds! Obviously, there are millions of Muslims in the world at the moment and
billions of Muslims have passed away. Therefore, if we make supplication of
forgiveness for the whole Ummaĥ, we will attain the treasure of billions of
good deeds. I have written below a supplication for myself as well as for all
the Muslim men and women; recite it (with Durūd Sharīf once before and after
the supplication), اِنْ شَاۤءَاللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ,
you will get hoards of good deeds.
¹ The act of
sending the reward of good deeds.
اللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَلِکُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ
وَّمُؤْمِنَۃٍ
Translation: (Yā
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Forgive me and every
Muslim man and woman)
اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صَلَّى
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
Recite the foregoing supplication in
Arabic or English or in both languages right now and, if possible, make it a
habit to recite it after five daily Ṣalāĥ.
Bay
sabab bakhsh day naĥ pūch 'amal
Nām Ghaffār ĥay tayrā Yā Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ
Forgive
us without holding us accountable;
Your name is Ghaffār, Yā Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ!
