٭In Mazaar, stand in front of the face of the beloved of Allah. Approach it from the foot side in order to remain in front of his vision; never approach from the head side as he (the buried one) would have to turn his head to look at you. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 9, pp. 532)

 ٭In the graveyard, stand with the back towards the holy Qiblah whilst facing the face of the buried one, and then recite:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَـا اَهۡلَ الۡقُبُوۡرِ

يَغۡفِرُ اللّٰهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمۡ اَنۡتُمۡ لَنَا سَلَـفٌ وَّنَحۡنُ بِالۡاَثَر

Translation: Salutation be upon you all, O inhabitants of the graves, may Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgive us and you. You came (here) before us and we are about to follow after you. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 350)

٭ Whoever enters the graveyard and recites this supplication:

اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ الۡاَجۡسَادِ الۡبَالِيَةِ وَالۡعِظَامِ النَّخِرَةِ الَّتِيۡ خَرَجَتۡ مِنَ الدُّنۡيَا وَهِيَ بِكَ مُؤۡمِنَةٌ اَدۡخِلۡ عَلَيۡهَا رَوۡحًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِكَ وَ سَلَامًا مِّنِّيۡ

Translation: O Allah! O Lord of the bodies that have deteriorated and the bones that have decayed! Bestow your mercy upon those who departed from this world in the state of faith and give my Salam to them.

Then all the believers who have passed away from Sayyiduna Aadam       عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام until the time of that supplication will all supplicate for the forgiveness of the one who recited the supplication.

(Sharh-us-Sudoor, pp. 226)

 ٭The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Whoever enters a graveyard and recites Surah Al-Fatihah, Surah Al-Ikhlas and Surah At-Takasur and then makes the following supplication, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Whatever I have recited from the Holy Quran, grant the reward of it to all
