It is sunnat to do talqin

[ottoman]

It is sunnat to do talqin [Prompting the articles of iman to the deceased person, so that he may answer the interrogating angels.] [standing against the qibla and the grave] after the burial. It has been said (by savants) that it might as well not be done. It is said in the book Majma-ul Anhur, "It was said that it would be possible to do talqin even after death. For the soul and wisdom are given back, and the deceased one understands the talqin. The same applies in the Madhhab of Shafi'i. Although some savants argued that talqin has neither been commanded nor forbidden, (therefore it is not permissible), it would be better to do it." It is written in the book Jawhara that it would be legitimate to do talqin to the deceased in the grave. In the book Nur-ul yaqin fi mabhas-it talqin, it is proved with various evidence that it is sunnat to do the talqin. It is written in Jila-ul qulub and Ghaliyya that: "Rasulullah ('alaihissalatu wassalam) commanded talqin to be done after the burial. And he himself performed the talqin." It is written in detail in the comments on the book Birghiwi Vasiyetnamesi by Kadizada how the talqin is to be done. There is no need to do talqin to people who will not be interrogated in the grave. It is written in Siraj, "The savants of Ahl- as sunnat unanimously declare that all people will be questioned in the grave. A dead child will be inspired as to how to answer by Allahu ta'ala." Ibn Abdul Berr and Imam-i Suyuti say that, "Only the Ahl-i qibla will be questioned, whether they be true believers or hypocrites." Accordingly, the report stating that Hadrat 'Umar was questioned and giving a quotation of his answers is correct. Muhammad bin Alqami, a disciple of Suyuti, passed away in 929 hijri. He says in his explanation of his master's book of ahadith, Jami'us saghir: "Disbelievers are not questioned in the grave. Of believers, nine kinds of people are not questioned in their grave: a martyr, a person who dies while keeping guard against the enemy, a person who dies of an epidemic disease such as plague or cholera, a person who does not flee when such a disease spreads, who waits patiently and then dies for some other reason, Siddiqs, children who have not reached the age of puberty, those who die on Friday or on Friday night (the night between Thursday and Friday), those who read the Surat-at Tabaraka [and the Surat-as Sajda] every night, those who read the Surat-al Ikhlas on their deathbed are not questioned in their grave. Prophets ('alaihimussalam) are included among the Siddiqs." A deceased person who has remained in his coffin for a few days is not questioned. The questioning is done in the grave. Kadizada Ahmad Effendi says in the book Amantu sharhi, which is named Faraid-ul- fawaid, "The questions are on some of the articles of iman or on various articles of iman and deeds; or different people are asked different questions." The book Iman ve Ibadat, by Mudarris Muhammad Demir Hafiz, was published in 1344 [1926], and was authorized by the committee of scrutiny of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. It is written in that book, "The following must be memorized for answering the angels of Munkar and Nakir in the grave: My Rab (Creator, Owner) is Allahu ta'ala, my Prophet is Muhammad 'alaihissalam', my Din (religion) is Islam, my (holy) Book is the Qur'an-i 'aziymushshan, my Qibla is the Kaba-i Sharif, my Madhhab in belief is Ahl as-sunnat wal jamaat, my Madhhab in deeds is Imam-i azam Abu Hanifa." Ahmad Asim Effendi says in the explanation of Amali, "Even if a corpse was broken into pieces and then eaten by wolves, or burned in a fire, or decayed in the sea, he will certainly be questioned and will suffer the torment or enjoy the blessings of the grave.

Disbelievers and fasiqs who die without repentance will suffer torment in the grave. It is said in hadith-i sharifs that, "The grave will be either a garden out of heaven's gardens or a pit out of hell's pits." and "We trust ourselves to Allah from suffering torment in the grave." and "Don't splash urine on yourself. Most people will suffer torment in the grave because of this." and "The deceased person feels annoyance with the wailing of his spouse and children." Rasulullah (sallallahi 'alaihi wasallam) was standing beside two graves when he said, "These two people are suffering torment in their graves, one of them because of not being careful about splashing urine, and the other one due to the gossip he spread among Muslims."

Did you know that the Wahhabi/Deobandi sects also accept the concept of talqeen. Infamous Deobandi leader Rashid Ahmed Gangohi himself dictates in ('Fataawa-e-Rasheediya' chapter Kitaabul Aqaaid Part 1 page 14) that: "Somebody asked him whether the talqeen after the burial is proved or not." He replied;

" The question cannot be solved. It depends upon the doer of it whether to do it or not. The implementation or not are both good deeds ( i.e. either do talqeen and leave it, both are the same.)"

Thus, through their own examples, it is proved that any jaiz (permissible) or good act which does not hold argument for it being na-jaiz or prohibited. In fact another Deobandi founder & leader, Maulvi Ashraf Ali Thanvi narrates in his 'Hifzul Iman' quoting Shah Waliullah in "Kushke Qubur" about doing seven tawaafs (circambulations) around the grave and performing takbeer during it!.

However, unsurprisingly the hypocritical present day Wahhabi do not accept the shari'ah or fatwa of their own leaders.

Only 3 question will be ask in the grave.

a. "MAN RABBUKA" meaning "Who is your Lord?"

b. "MAA DEENUKA" meaning "What is your religion?"

c. "MAA KUNTA TAQUL FEE HAJAR RAJUL" meaning "What did you use to say about this person i.e.(beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam)?"

JazakAllahu khayrun
