‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Isal-e-Sawab, that is, to convey the Sawab [reward] of the Holy Quran or Durood or Kalima-e-Tayyibah or the reward of any good deed to other Muslims is permissible. The reward of all monetary and physical forms of worship (monetary worship such as Sadaqah and charity and physical worship such as Salah, Sawm, etc.), reward of Fard and Nafl can all be conveyed to others because the deceased gets benefit from the Isal-e-Sawab [conveying Sawab] of the living. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 642)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                                 صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! As long as a person lives in this world his parents, siblings, spouse, children, relatives and friends etc., are with him; they are with him in every trouble and hard times and try to relieve his sorrow. If he is ill, they inquire after him, but when the same person is buried in the dark grave, neither his parents, nor his siblings, nor family members and friends and relatives are with him there, but rather he is alone in the grave. So the deceased knows better whatever happens to him after he has been buried in the grave.

Talking about the reality of the grave the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘اَلْقَبْرُ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ، اَوْ حُفْرَةٌ مِنْ حُفَرِ النَّار’ Undoubtedly, the grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a ditch from the ditches of Hell. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 208, Hadees 2468) Now we do not know about the one who is in the grave, whether the grave has become a garden of Paradise for him or مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَـزَّوَجَـلَّ it has become a ditch of Hell for him, but having the enthusiasm and passion for doing good to a Muslim, we should form the habit of conveying Sawab to him.

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                                 صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

Proof of conveying Sawab from blessed Ahadees

Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ordered: A horned ram should be brought that walks in darkness, sits in darkness and sees in darkness (i.e. its feet, belly and eyes
