Dua When Visiting The Graves In English
.Oh Muslims residing here, salaams on you, by the will of Allah we will also be coming to you. We seek safety for us and you.
Muslim 2:671, Ibr Majah 1:494
Sunnas Forgotten: Visit Graves
Shaykh Jamir Méa In this month’s article, discuss the sunnah of visiting the tombs. It covers the benefits and benefits of visiting tombs, reflecting on our own state, recalling those who have left, and ends with a practical challenge for anyone who wants to fully revive the spirit of this sunnah.
Man goes through five stages of existence. The first stage of man begins through the loins of his male and grandmothers. The second phase of life sees its birth in this earthly life and continues until its death. The third phase is spent in his grave and in the middle kingdom (al barzakh) until the day of the resurrection. The fourth stage is dedicated entirely to this memorable day and continues until its final judgments are passed. The fifth and last phase is his life in the eternal home, be it the garden or the fire.
A brief summary of these steps is mentioned in the Quran, when Allah Most High tells us, “How can you deny Allah? You were lifeless and he gave you life, so he will kill you and bring you back to life, and then to him you will be brought back. (2: 228)
Steps on the path of life
As the editor of this article, and you as a reader of this article, we both can safely say that we have successfully passed Phase 1 of our existence and that we are of course somewhere in phase 2 (maybe no passage). with success!).
We spend years without knowing it, from beginning to end, and then, having appeared on earth, we spend a good part of our formal years learning all that we need to survive. We struggle and work to maintain our survival, establish security, while realizing our hopes and aspirations for the rest of our lives, and then, ready or not, we are expelled from the Earth’s surface and buried in it . Enter phase 3.
Phase 3 presents the tomb and the intermediate realm, both an unknown territory for us; we will find ourselves alone and separated from everything to which we have devoted our more than 60 years of terrestrial existence.
When you or I die, our “judgment” actually begins then, because a person “will be shown [in his grave] his [last] place of residence in the morning and evening.” (Al Bukhari) We remain in this third phase intermediate until the Day of Judgment, a much longer period than the 60 to 90 years spent working on the earth.
Phase four marks the beginning of eternity, and the rest is, as they say, history (well, not really, it’s our “future”, when in reality, the earthly concept of time will cease to exist).
Every soul should taste death
After reflection, at the scale of the five phases of the existence of man, this earthly step seems rather tiny. It is for this reason that we find so many reminders in the religious texts concerned with our ultimate end on Earth. Sweet or powerful, we all affirm with unequivocal certainty that “every soul will taste death”. (3: 185)
Infinitesimal as earthly life can be; it is of course not without colossal consequence. In this wave of earthly life, we are building or breaking our eternal future. What we do on earth determines where we are after Earth. The user manual “What to do and be successful on earth” is of course the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told us: “Remember often the destroyer of pleasures” (Ibn Maja), which means death. It is not morbid or pessimistic. This is an unavoidable reality.
You know, it’s common; all that lives must die,
Go through nature for eternity. – Hamlet, Act I, scene 2
In the same way that one would not remain inactive or lose precious time if the doctor declared him that he was suffering from a terminal illness and had only a short time to live, any sensible person who thinks with a an open and sincere heart will come to realize that “this worldly life is nothing but play, amusement, luxury, glory and rivalry between wealth and children … And in the Hereafter, there will be either a severe punishment, forgiveness and the pleasure of Allah, while the life of this world is nothing but the illusion of joy. “(57:20)
There are many ways to remember this relentless destroyer of pleasures. One way of reminding ourselves of our inevitable end is to remember those who preceded us and have already reached stage 3 of man’s existence, namely the intermediate domain. We can do this by attending the graves, object of this article.
Recommendation and benefits of visiting the grave
The prophet recommended visiting tombs to remember what was happening from this world to the afterlife.
Anas recounts that the Prophet said, “I forbade you to visit the tombs, and then it seemed to me that they softened the heart, made the eyes cry, and recalled the afterlife.” (Ahmad)
Abu Huraira, tells the words of the prophet: “Visit tombs, it reminds of his death” (Sahih Muslim).
The recommendation applies to both men and women, as it is evident when a companion saw “Aisha visit the grave of his brother, he said to him:” Did not the Prophet forbid this visit the graves? She replied, “Yes. he had defended it. Then he ordered to visit them. “(Al Hakim, al Bayhaqi)
The benefits of visiting the tomb extend beyond the visitor. It is reported that the prophet said. “There is not a person who passes in the grave of his fellow believer that he has known in this life and sends him greetings, except that he recognizes him and salutes him.” (Al Istidhkar) D Other stories describe the comfort and happiness that the deceased finds when a person visits their grave.
Intention during the visit of the graves
We make great intentions by visiting the grave. Among these intentions are:
Follow the recommendations and actions of the beloved prophet
Remember the ephemeral nature of this world, the moment of death, the immediate life and the afterlife.
Praying for one’s brothers and sisters and others
Fill some of the rights of the dead and bring comfort to the dead
Encourage others to visit the grave and remember the death
Hope that in turn many visitors will visit their own graves when the time comes
Soften one’s heart by remembering one’s weak return to earth and reviewing one’s path and relationships with God and others.
The hard, rough heart is attenuated only by the signs of decadence. – Abd al Qays’s “old woman” Ihya ‘Ulum al Din
When to visit the grave?
The grave can be visited at any time, but specialists generally recommended visiting the cemetery Thursday night, Friday and Friday night until sunrise. It has been reported and observed that the spirits of the dead return to their graves at these times.
Labels when visiting the grave
When a visitor enters the cemetery, one must say a general salam to all believers and do dua, saying:
السلام على أهل الديار من المؤمنين والمسلمين ويرحم الله المستقدمين منا والمستأخرين وانا إن شاء الله بكم للاحقون
Peace be upon the inhabitants of this house among believers and Muslims, and may Allah have mercy on those who have preceded us and those who will come later, and we will join you. – Sahih Muslim
Some scholars have said that it is important to stand in front of the top of the buried person’s head. Others said that it was necessary to face the chest of the deceased, who would face the qibla.
Fresh green branches should be placed on the grave if available. The green branches of the living leaves are said to bring relief to the deceased.
You must enter and sit near the grave with serenity and without hurry, especially if you visit someone who has rights over them, such as parents, parents, teachers.
We must reflect and reflect on the state of the deceased and his own state. Imam al Ghazali said: “The visitor must not neglect to pray for himself and the deceased, nor to learn a lesson. The latter can only come from the representation of the deceased in his heart, from the manner in which his members were scattered abroad, and from the manner in which he will be resurrected from his grave, and he will soon join him. “(Ihya Ulum al Din: 40)
One must recite all that the Koran is possible to them, with the intention of returning the reward to the deceased.
One should make abundant supplication for their forgiveness, and through it the dead will rejoice. Imam Abdullah al Haddad recounts that “a dead man has already been seen in a dream and, after being questioned about his condition, he was greeted by an angel who tried to burn his face with a flame in his hand . But one of the living says, “God have mercy on this or that!” And the flame went out! “(The lives of man)
Illegal practices
Visiting the tombs is a solemn act. As such, it is necessary to maintain the appropriate dignity at all times within the limits of Sharia law. We must avoid excessive crying and lamentation, which the Prophet forbade.
Practical challenge
This month’s practical challenge is for all of us to try visiting a nearby cemetery. It does not matter whether the deceased is known to you or not. Let’s take the time to pray for them, reflect on our condition and journey, and re-evaluate our lives and relationships with each other, as well as our relationship with Allah.
Although we can not see or even know the dead, we will know them on the day of judgment. It is also possible that the person intercedes for us because of what we have done for them and that, through this, we entered paradise.
