Yes, there are many du'as including the ahad namah, which can be placed on the chest of the deceased, or those that can be written on the shroud. They will protect him from the calamities of the grave, ease the question and answer, by the munkir and nakir, and Insha'Allah asisst him until the Day of Judgement.

There is a research question regarding the ahad namah and it's origins. It is in the ask imam section. Please keep a look out for it, in the near future.


Jazak'allah for your question.
