Salam Alykum.
This grew longer than I thought - sorry~!
I was reading about this on another thread and fell it's inappropriate to post this there out of Respect, so I began another. Also, I feel bad posting this at the same time but it has to be asked.
Most of what I've been told about what's allowed and not, has come basically from one to only a few men who are quite educated and born into Islam, therefore I've not questioned them thoroughly in 9 years and is my fault alone.
I was told - " I HEARD " I was unable to pray for the dead as basically they've had their chance, it's a done deal and don't do it.
Also I thought no one escaped the torment of the grave and if so, why ask for it?
I believe that anyone can pray to Allah(SWT) (God) for anything if it's true and comes from the goodness of one's Soul. I guess it doesn't necessarily mean you should, but it's our Nature to have sympathy, concern, empathy, bearing an others burden, Love and all our other Human emotions when we lose a loved one and really concerned where they might end up.
I hear of Deeds and Blessings and to me, praying for the dead is both and not intentionally to get Blessings.
I rather dislike being so concerned about getting blessings when they come from the goodness Allah bestowed us with and us using it.
Seems to me that the Goodness we have in our Souls should be able to guide us well as long as our hopefully future Goal is Heaven. Good people do good things as bad people do good also, mostly to benefit themselves first and foremost. Goodness can be misguided as well. I suppose goodness can cancel its self...
Seems as Humans we're naturally allowed to worry, pray, make dua for those our hearts again naturally mourn for and I have always thought so. I didn't believe what I was being told before having a PC.
Now I'm worrying about other things I may have also misheard that I didn't think was right. Makes me a bit angry.
Almost makes me now think that I can't believe anyone. No Offense
I have been going on what my Soul told me and never questioned what I had heard further.
I feel so stupid.
Without killing me with links, and I can't understand Arabic, Please, can anyone direct me to what's True concerning our dead.
What gives on what one is "not" supposed to do, - WHY - when our dead is concerned and where does it come from.
Please don't overdose me - the skinny.
Thank You~!
