To Allah is your return, all together: Then he will inform you of what you used to do [Quran 5:105]
إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
To Allah is your return, all together: Then he will inform you of what you used to do [Quran 5:105]

To Allah is your return, all together: Then he will inform you of what you used to do [Quran 5:105]
إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتۡ سَبۡعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٖ مِّاْئَةُ حَبَّةٖۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
Allah tells us in the Qur’an that the reward of spending in charity is like “a grain of corn which grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains” (2:261).
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “إذا مات الأنسان انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث: صدقة جارية، أو علم ينتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له" ((رواه مسلم)).
“When a son of Adam dies, all their good deeds end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuing charity), beneficial knowledge (which he has left behind and others benefit from it), and a righteous child who prays for them.” Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated by Muslim
إنَّ اللهَ ليرفعُ الدرجةَ للعبدِ الصالحِ في الجنةِ فيقولُ يا ربِّ من أينَ لي هذا فيقولُ باستغفارِ ولدِكَ لكَ
Prayers for forgiveness offered by both sons and daughters of the deceased bring great benefits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A man’s status will be raised in Paradise and he will ask, ‘How did I get here?’ He will be told, ‘By your son’s du’aa’s (prayers) for forgiveness for you.”
(Reported by Ibn Maajah, no 3660)
عن عبدالله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول الله، إن أمي ماتتْ وعليها صوم شهر، أَفأَقضيه؟ قال: "لو كان على أُمِّك دَينٌ كنتَ قاضيةً عنها؟"، قال: نعم، قال: "فدَين الله أحقُّ أن يُقضى"، وفي رواية: جاءت امرأة إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقالت: يا رسول الله، إن أمي ماتت وعليها صوم نذرٍ، أفأصوم عنها؟ قال: "أفرأيتِ لو كان على أُمِّك دَينٌ، فقضيتِه، أكان يؤدِّي ذلك عنها؟"، قالت: نعم، قال: "فصومي عن أُمك".
Adullaah ibn Buraydah reported that his father (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a woman came to him and said: ‘I gave my mother a slave-woman in charity, and now my mother has died.’ He said: ‘You have got your reward, and your right of inheritance has brought your gift back to you.’ She said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, she still had one month to fast – can I fast it on her behalf?’ He said, ‘Fast it on her behalf.’ She said, ‘She never went to Hajj – can I perform Hajj on her behalf?’ He said, ‘Perform Hajj on her behalf.’” (Reported by Muslim, may Allah have mercy on him, in his Saheeh, no. 1149). Don’t you think that if your mother owed a debt you would pay it off?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “Then pay off what is owed to Allah, for Allah is more deserving of having vows fulfilled.”
(al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 7315)
باسم الله اللهم تقبل من محمد وآل محمد
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered a sacrifice, he said: “In the name of Allah, O Allah, on behalf of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad” (reported by Muslim, no. 1967)
and the family of Muhammad included both the living and the dead.
من حفر لميت قبرًا فأجنَّه فيه أجرى اللهُ له من الأجرِ كأجرِ مَسكنٍ أسكنَه إلى يومِ القيامةِ
“Whoever digs a grave for a deceased person and buries him, will receive the reward of giving him a place to reside in until the Day of Judgment.”
(Saheeh al-Targheeb 3492)
