How Can I Get Blessings after My Parents Have Passed Away?
Answered by Ustada Shazia Ahmad.
Question
My parents used to bless us a lot when they were alive but now they have passed away. What can be done to remain blessed and continue getting their blessings now?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
Parents’ passing
The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), “When a person dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: A continuing charity, knowledge that others benefited from, and a righteous son who supplicates for him.” [Tirmidhi]
He also said, (Allah bless him and give him peace), “The finest act of goodness is the kind treatment of a person to the loved ones of his father after his death.” [Muslim]
Please make this du`a for your parents:
