Paid Quran Khuwani in the Grave-Yards
It is my general routine to go in the grave-yards because visiting the grave-yard is Sunnat-e-Rasool PBUH. Death is recalled by dedicating to the alh-e-qaboor, through isaal-e-sawab and especially by visiting the grave-yards and our inner-self is improved. I have experienced this many times that there are people roaming around in the grave yard who keep an eye on everyone. Usually they are holding a water-bucket, wheat in a bag or millets (bajra). Otherwise they are empty-handed and ask the visitors: “Do you want to get recitation done on the grave?” They know that most of the visitors visiting deceased parents or their relative cannot give anything to the buried one. That is because from day one the child is taught by the parents that you have to become a doctor, engineer, soldier, or pilot; besides these he does not remember anything. I do not say that do not aim for such careers; it is also essential. After all these are the departments of our life. But if you become all this and did not think about your death, akhirat, Quran and Allah then….. In such situation cases come forward of insulting parents and devaluing them. Then I come across incidences in the grave-yard where paid Quran Khuwani is organized. Obviously, a person who is interested in money how much sincere will he be while reciting the Quran? How much emotions of maghfirat and well-wishes shall be in his heart? Imagine this yourself…. What should I say about it? Readers! Teach such a thing to your generation that when they would remember you after your death, they should recite something and gift you. If they visit our grave by any chance, then kalam-e-ilahi and zikr could be uttered from their mouth. Yes! If they would be worthy then it would be uttered and they would be able to do so when we shall train them for this since childhood. Life is very short. Everywhere there is an environment of destruction. You will need to make extra efforts in such a time. If you want to acquire this with little efforts, then it is not possible. Make more efforts. Insha Allah your problems shall be solved after your death also i.e. every deceased person needs hadiya of amaal by others.
