HEREAFTER

• 
  It is very beneficial to recite this Duaa at various instances for the forgivness of our sins, specificaly this helps at the last moments of life when it is a critical moment of the departure of soul to the next world: Yaa Man ‘ Yaqbalul Yaseer, Wa Ya’afoo Anil Katheer, Iqbal Minnil Yaseer, Wa’afoo Anneel Katheer, Innaka Antal Ghafforur-Raheem.
  
• 
  As the last moments of life are very critical and Shaytaan comes to destroy our Eemaan it is of utmost importance that one should always preserve in mind all the five Usool-e-Deen and beseech Allaah (S.W.T.) that on his last moments he should be firm on them. Ask Allaah by the following Duaa that this is your trust and that he return it to you at the time of death: Allaahumma Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen, Innee Qad Awada’atuka Yaqeenee Haadhaa Wa Thabaata Deenee Wa Anta Mustwdioo Waqad Amartanaa Bi Hifdhil Wadaai’a, Fa Ruddahoo Alayya Waqta Hudhooree Mawtee.
  [It is necessary that we understand in detail the meanings of Tawheed, Adal, Nubuwwat, Imaamat, and Qayaamat. The apparent meaning for mere memorizing shall not avail us of any good. ]
  
• 
  For experiencing ease when the time to depart from this world comes one should always practice atleast these two things: (a) be obedient to parents, and (b) do Seela-e-Raham, i.e. to be lenient, kind, forgiving and generous to relatives.
  
• 
  Always recite Surah-e-Zilzaal in Sunnat Namaaz. [*]
  
• 
  To depart with Eemaan one should (a) recite Surah-e-Mu’minoon on Fridays, (b) recite Duaa-e-Tamjeed of Saheefa-e-Kaamila Duaa no:11.
  
• 
  For being safe from Fishaar-e-Kabr ; On the eve of 1^st Rajab pray 20 rak’at Namaaz as usual of 2 rak’at each, and after Al-Hamd recite S.Ikhlaas once. And on the day of 1^st Rajab recite 10 rak’at Namaaz in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite S.Ikhlaas 3 times.
  
• 
  On the eve of 7^th Rajab: Pray 4 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-e-Tawheed and once Maoodhatain (S.Falak and S.Naas), after Namaaz recite Salawaat and 10 times Tasbihaat-e-Arba’aa. The benefit of this A’mal is that you will get the Sawaab of those who have fasted, Sakaraat will be easy, Fishaar in the grave will be removed, and you will be happy on the Day of Judgement.
  
• 
  On the eve of 22^nd Rajab: Pray 8 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 7 times Surah-e-Tawheed, after Namaaz recite 10 times Salawaat and 10 times Istighfaar.
  
• 
  Observe fasting for 4 days on any day in the month of Rajab and 12 days in the month of Sha’baan.
  
• 
  In Sha’baan, at any time pray 4 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 50 times Surah-e-Tawheed.
  
• 
  Anyone reciting 100 times Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Malikul Haqqul Mubeen daily, will be free from the fear and dreadfulness in the grave.
  
• 
  To be safe from Fishaar-e-Kabr one should recite Surah-e-Nisaa and S.Zukhruf on Fridays; should also recite S.Qalam in Sunnat Namaaz, and should recite S.Mulk and S.Taqaasur at the time of going to sleep.
  
• 
  On the eve of Friday (Jumma Raat) pray 2 rak’at Namaaaz in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite Surah-e-Zilzaal 15 times. [*]
  
• 
  In the Qunoot of Namaaz recite: Rabbanaa Laa Tuzigh Quloobana Ba’ada Idh Hadaytanaa Wa Hablanaa Min Ladunka Rahmatan, Innaka Antal Wahhaab. And / Or another Duaa: Yaa Allaahu Yaa Rahmaanu Yaa Raheem Yaa Muqallibal Quloob Sabbit Qalbee Alaa Deenik. And / Or: Rabbanaa Afrigh Alaynaa Swabran Wa Tawaffanaa Muslimeen. And/Or: Tawaffanee Musliman Wa Alhiqnee Bis-Swaaliheen. And/ Or: Rabbanagh Firlanaa Dhunoobana Wa Israafinaa Fee Amrinaa Wa Thabbit Aqdaamanaa Wansurnaa Alal Qawmil Kaafireen.
  
• 
  If one always recites Surah-e-Al-Haaqqah his Imaan will be safe for ever.
  
• 
  Duaa-e-Adeelah is such a Duaa that if Shaytaan tries all his technics to destroy the Imaan but he will fail. So it is essential that we should often recite this Duaa. (refer Majmooa).
  
• 
  Praying Namaaz-e-Shab regularly saves one from the sqeeze of grave and grant immunity from the Hell-fire. [*]
  
• 
  To remain in the state of Najaasat after urinating, creating mischief amongst people, back- biting, and Qat-e-Raham are the causes of sqeezing in the grave, so these should be avoided from the very root cause.
  
• 
  The first night in the grave is the most dreadful time for the deseased. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said to give Sadaqa for the safety of the dead person, and if you do not have anything for Sadaqa pray 2 rak’at Namaaz in which recite S.Tawheed two times after S.Al-Hamd in the 1st rak’at and recite 10 times S.Takaasur in the 2nd rak’at after A.Al-Hamd. After finishing praying this Namaaz recie ‘Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad, Wab’ath Thawaabahaa Ilaa Qabri Dhaalikal Mayyit ( Fulaan bin Fulaan). Allaah will immediately send 1000 Angels to the grave of that dead person with attires of Paradise, and will expand his grave till Qayaamat, and for the person who has recited this Namaaz for the deseased, Allaah will offer him great rewards and exalt his position fourty times.
  
• 
  Another Namaaz for the dead person (also called Namaaz-e-Wahshat) is to be performed on the first night of burial thus:Two rak’at Namaaz, after Al-Hamd, in 1st rak’at recite Aayatul Qursee and in the 2nd rak’at after Al-Hamd recite ten times S. Qadr. After Namaaz recite: ‘Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad Wab’ath Thawaabahaa Ilaa Qabri… (here say the name of Marhoom).
  
• 
  At the time of death Shaytaan approaches and tries to spoil the faith of the believer. Therefore one who wishes to remain safe from the mischief of Shataan should preserve five proofs regarding fundamental principles of faith, i.e. Usool-e-Deen in his mind and present it to Allaah’s custody so that at the time of death these may be handy at that critical time. And this Duaa should be recited: ‘ Allaahumma Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen Innee Qad Awda’atuka Yaqeenee Haadhaa Wa Thabaata Deenee Wa Anta Mustawdi’a Wa Qad Amartanaa Bi Hifdhil Wadaai’a Faruddahoo Alayya Waqta Hudhoori Mawtee.’
  
• 
  Reciting S. Yaaseen, S. Swaaffaat and the following Duaa helps in the tribulation during death: ‘ Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Haleemu Kareem Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Aliyyul Adhweem, Sub’haanallaahi Rabbis-Samaawaatis-Sab’i, Wa Rabbil Aradhweenas-Sab’i Wamaa Fee Hinna Wamaa Bayna Hunna Wamaa Fawqa Hunna Wamaa Tahta Hunna Wa Huwa Rabbul Arshil Adhweem Wal Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil Aalameen.’
  
• 
  Reciting this Duaa also is very beneficial at the time of death: ‘Yaa Man’Yaqbalul Yaseer Wa Ya’afu Anil Katheer Iqbal Minnil Yaseer Wa’afu Annil Katheer, Innaka Antal Ghafoorur-Raheem.’
