Duas for the grave in the light of the Hadith |
How to Visit in a grave to Greet like Prophet Muhammad ﷺ :
After following the steps we provide now you have to remember
Things that you must avoid when greeting in some grave:-
• Always remember - Dua should be made without raising the hands.
• Paving or building graves and writing names etc. on graves is completely prohibited.
• Urinating, defecating and defecating on graves is prohibited.
• Visiting graves does not mean knowing the condition of the dead body in the grave;
• Only Allah subhanatala is/was/will always aware of the future and the unseen that we don't even imagine; He(Prophet ﷺ)is aware only to the extent that Allah revealed it to the prophet Muhammad ﷺ through revelation; no more,no less than that. If someone has the idea 💡 or thinking 🤔 that visiting a grave means knowing the condition of the dead, then he must repent; since this is a concept against the Shariat.
• Covering a grave, laying flowers on it, lighting a lamp, giving a horse, these are very foolish and against the Sharia. Graves cannot be respected so much.
• Excesses like spitting in a grave and walking up to it are considered haram by many people. This kind of thinking can only come from people who are unaware of the Hadith and the Quran. The Hadith do not prohibit urinating in a grave.Similarly, sleeping with one's feet towards a grave is not forbidden.
• Shirk, such as worshipping graves, etc., are all harmful excesses; there is no doubt
