Reciting the Qurʾān to Benefit the Deceased One
A discussion on the common practise of Qurʾān Khwānī reciting the Qurʾān, alone or often in a group intending that the reward be granted to the deceased one. A practice that is often done to commemorate monthly or annual anniversaries of a friend or relative who passed away. This is a prevalent event which encompasses much of the Muslim world and has been passed down generation upon generation and is widely accepted an considered praiseworthy by many Muslims. The author keenly identifies several key topics relative to the discussion such as:
• The importance of following the Qurʾān and Prophetic texts as it relates to worship
• A look at the actions of the Companions, was this from their practice?
• The religion of Islām being a complete religion with no stone left unturned
• The dangers of innovatory practices as it relates to Islām
• The statements of the scholars of old on the topic
• A firm conclusion on the issue urging the reader to align himself with the Book and the Sunnah and to resist any acts of worship that are not from it
