Khatam: Rewards for the deceased

The most common form of action that people do, as a form of recitation for their deceased, is the 'khatm-e-Qur'an', which is the completion of the recitation of the noble Qur'an al hakeem, and then conveying it's reward to those people who are deceased in a household, friends and relatives, and for the community of the Most Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam).


You may also convey the reward of reciting the 'Surah-al-Fatihah', which is known as the 'Alhamdu lilah', as this Surah, carries the reward of the whole Qur'an Shareef, so it's a much easier way to convey reward to the deceased, rather than having to pray the whole Qur'an al kareem.


Similarly, you may also recite the 'Ya Sin Sharif', which is known as the heart of the Qur'an al kareem, and the essence of the Qur'an al kareem. This can be recited as many times as possible, and then with the recitation of the 'Fatihah', the reward can be conveyed to the deceased.


Remember, there is no limit, to the amount of people that you can convey the reward to. It can be conveyed to your relatives and friends, both living and deceased, or it can be conveyed to the whole community of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), as quoted above. There is no limit.


'Quls' may also be recited, starting with 'Qul Ya ayyuhal kafirun', then 'Qul huwallahu ahad', three times, and then, 'Qul a'udhu bi rabbil falaq', and 'Qul a'udhu bi rabbin nas', and then the 'fatihah' etc.


The last three verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, also have a significant effect upon the deceased, which begins 'Amanar Rasula bima unzila', to the extent that anything you do, or pray, can all be conveyed to whomever you wish, whenever you like.



May Allah the Almighty help us, to do all we can, to send and gain reward to the deceased, and to the Ummah of the Most Beloved Messenger of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam).
