The Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says to visit the graves of the mother and father on Friday for it is blessed for those who do it. He encourages us to do this. Some visit and they are already there [in the same country]. But from away also, sometimes people cannot be there since they are in another place, this also reaches them as if you are there in front of their grave.

This is what they want from you after their passing to Akhirah. They want from you this which is as a big present for them. The people of Akhirah, when their relatives or anyone comes and does this for them, they will be very very happy. And others who are looking for something to come from their relatives, but it doesn’t come, they will be sad and miserable. This is what we can do for them.

Some people who are not Muslim, put food, drinks or fruits in front of the grave of their relatives. They cannot eat now. If you want to do this, give it to poor people and it will be for them as Sadaqah and benefit. But for [putting] other things, they’re finished; they cannot eat, they cannot drink, they cannot smell in that place. People must understand this. Who understands will be happy because he’s giving his relatives or friends what they are in need of. They are in need of this. They are not in need of eating or drinking or anything else.

Today is a blessed day. The Day of Jum’ah is like a feast for them also. In this feast they must have something, and this is what they must have insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

Every Friday we make Dua for them. Our people from everywhere, from around the world, from Murids and those who love Allah ﷻ, they read Khatm of Qur’an and they send to present them for the Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and Ahlu l-Bayt.

Ila sharafi n-Nabi salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, Allahumma balligh wa awsil thawab ma qara’nah min Khatamati l-Qur’an wal Suwar wal Ayat wal Kalimat wal Salawat wal Tasbihat wal Tahlilat, Hadiyyatan wasila ila Ruhi Nabiyyina Muhammadin salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, wa ‘Alihi wa ‘As’habihi l-Kiram, wa ila arwahi jamee’i al ‘Anbiya’i wa l-Mursalin wa Khudamai sharai’ihim, wa ila arwahi al ‘A’immati al arba’a, wa ila arwahi Mashayikhina fi t-Tariqati n-Naqshbandiyati l- ‘Aliyah, khasatan Imamu t-Tariqati wa Ghawthu l-khaliqah Khwaja Bahauddin Muhammad al-Uwaisiyi l-Bukhari, Sayyidina Abdul Khaliq al Ghujduwani, Mawlana Sheikh Sharafuddin al Daghestani, Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah al Faiz al Daghestani, Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, wa sairi Sadatina wal Siddiqiyun.
