*oops i dnt think this is the right board to post in*
I know how old this post is , n May Allah forgive the deceased and have mercy on him , i just wanted to point out that surah yaseen has notthing to do with the deceased nor can its ajar be transferred to the deceased nor does any other good deeds be transferred to the deceased.
"And that the human being can have nothing but what he has earned (good or bad)" (53:39)
Commenting on this ayah, Ibn Kathir rahimahullaah, said: "Imaam ash-Shafi'ee concluded from this ayaah that reciting the Qur'aan does not benefit the dead, because it is not from their doing and earning. For this reason, Allaah's Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam did not recommend it to his ummah, encourage them to do it, or guide them to it with a text or a hint. Nor was such a thing reported from any of the sahaabah rahimahullaah. Had this been any good, they would have preceeded us in doing it. Matters of worship must be limited to the texts, and are not liable to modifications based on analogies and opinions." (Tafseer Qur'aan il-'Adheem) It is in general true that one cannot benefit from other people's deeds after his death. But this has important exceptions detailed in this chapter.
“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge (which he has left behind), or a righteous child who will pray for him.”
So a person who has passed away can ONLY benefit from the above three things, one of which is a righteous child that makes duaa for him or supplictes for him and this duaa raises his ranks and are added to his good deeds , but if that child goes on to dedicate other forms of worship like reading a quraan and dedicate its reward to his parents it does not work , coz it is not proved from the sunnah and The prophet sala lahu alihi wa sallam and sahaba did not do such, so reading yaseen or the whole quran for the deceased and dedicating the reward to the dead is wrong, rather one should do lots of duaa for them, it includes his familyt n kids n other friends n all , its not restricted to just the kids.
Now lets take this oppurtunity to clear some more doubts about the Surah yaseen.
First see these ahadith
"Whoever tells a LIE AGAINST me then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-
fire.
Narrated By 'Ali: The Prophet said, "Do not tell a LIE AGAINST me for whoever tells a LIE AGAINST me then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."
Now
Some weak Ahadith about surah yaseeen
"verily Allah The most exalted recited surah ta ha and yaseen a thousand years before he created adam. so when the angles heared the recitation they said: Glad tidings for a nation who will be given this revelation, and glad tidings to a tongue that recites it and glad tidings for a chest that carries it(memorises it)
FABRICATED silsila ahadith ad daeefa 1248
"Whoever enters the grave yard and recited Surah Al Yaseen, the punishment of the dead will be reduced for that day.And he (the recitor) will have the same amount of rewards equal to the number of graves in that graveyard"
FABRICATED silsila ahadith ad daeefa 1246
everything ha s heart and the heart of the quran is surah yaseen, anyone who reads it god will write down for him(due to this one reading of his) ten readings of the (complete) Quran"
FABRICATED dhaif targheeb wa tarheeb 885
Whoever Reads Yaseen , seeking Allah's pleasure, his past sins will be forgiven. So recite it over the dying amoung you
WEAK daeef al jami al sagheer 5785
N this is the most famous n the most spread amongst the muslims today unfortunately:
"Whoever reads yaseen, during the beginning of the day, his needs will be fulfilled" WEAK MISHKAAT AL MISBAH
while the truth is whoever prays Fajr he will be in Allah's responsibility. Pray it in congregation.
May Allah guide us to the authemntic creed and the Authentic knowledge and the true deen as Brought and practised by the Prophet Sala lahu alihi wa sallama nd his Companions and those who followed them and those who followed teh followers and their understanding , the Pure Quran n sunnah as Understood by the sahaba n tabieen n tabi tabieen .. ameen
Assalam O Alikum
Some beautiful duaas for the deceased
‘O Allaah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honorable his reception. Expand his entry, and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. Exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’
‘O Allaah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allaah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islaam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allaah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him’.
‘O Allaah, so-and-so is under Your care and protection so protect him from the trial of the grave and torment of the Fire. Indeed You are faithful and truthful. Forgive and have mercy upon him, surely You are The Oft-Forgiving, The Most-Merciful’.
‘O Allaah, Your servant and the son of Your maidservant is in need of Your mercy and You are without need of his punishment. If he was righteous then increase his reward and if he was wicked then look over his sins.’
While closing the eyes of the deceased
‘O Allaah, forgive – here the name of the deceased is mentioned – and raise his rank among the rightly guided, and be a successor to whom he has left behind, and forgive us and him O Lord of the worlds. Make spacious his grave and illuminate it for him.’
