In the Name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Are Deeds
& Rewards Transferable

To understand the
concept of Deed and Rewards we need to reflect on the Quraan and
Authentic Hadeeth.
The best of best among you are
those who learn and teach the Quraan, (Ref: Sahee
Al-Buhkhari, Book-61, Hadeeth 545-546).
Let
us see what the Quraan (word of Allah and book of guidance for the
mankind) says about Deeds and Rewards:
Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
has no right to change/amend or deviate from the Quraan, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_010:015, 018:027). So,
any
Hadeeth which contradicts the Quraan cannot be Hadeeth at all and must
be deleted / removed from all the Books of Hadeeths.
For each of your actions,
including the Hajj or Reciting the Quraan etc., you will
get reward of what you have done, and surely DEEDS of your loved ones
or others will NOT save you. (Selected

Although only one verse
from the
Quraan is enough, BUT when references are a lot then we need to correct
our beliefs according to the Quraan immediately and not reverse.
In simple terms, Rewards
of any Deeds, e.g. the Hajj or Reciting the Quraan or Salaat etc. are
not Transferable. You
will get rewards of what you have done not your loved ones or others.
Do they not then reflect
on the Quraan? No, on their hearts there are locks. (Al_Quraan_047.024)
None argue concerning
the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah, BUT those who Disbelieve...
(Al_Quraan_040.004)
In which Hadeeth, other
than this (Hadeeth of Allah), do they believe? (Al_Quran_077.050)
The
Best Way to Get Allah’s Mercy:
You can get Allah’s
Mercy on practically following the commandments of Allah.
And when the Quran is recited, then
listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you.
And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing and in a
voice not loud in the morning and the evening and be not of the
heedless ones. (Al_Quraan_007:204-205)
We made the Quran easy to learn.
Do any of you wish to learn? (Al_Quraan_054:017, 022, 032,
040)
It is not righteousness (only)
that you turn your faces towards the East and the West (in
Prayer/Salaah, Hajj & Umrah etc.), but (best) righteousness is this
that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and
the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to
the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the
beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer
and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they
make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time
of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these
are they who guard (against evil), (Al_Quraan_002:177).
Remember: Prophet
Nooh (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) couldn’t save his own son. Prophet Ibrahim
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) could not save his own father. Prophet Lut
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) couldn’t save his own wife. Hazrat Asya couldn’t
save his own husband Firoon.
The Quraan is crystal clear. Deeds
are NOT transferable, whether reciting the Quraan or asking someone
else to recite the Quraan or performing Hajj on behalf of others is NOT
transferable. Neither Prophet Muhammad performed this action and nor
any of Sahabas. Do not waste your money on dead, rather invest that on
saving lives of living people regardless of any discrimination.
Keep yourself far away from Halwa Manda Mullas. They are looking into your pocket by fooling you. They are BIG cheater.
If Quraan cannot convince you nothing
will, open your heart towards Allah, because to him will you return and
if you haven't gone through the manual (the Quraan) he has sent you and
understood it properly, for sure Allah will not like it. Non-Practicing Muslims are like
ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
ISLAAM IS A COMPLETE DEEN, NO
COMPULSION, NO DISCRIMINATION & NO NEED FOR OVER-RESEARCH TO
EXPLOIT IT: (Ref: Al_Quraan.002:256 / 003:030 / 005:003 /
022:078 / 027:001-002 / 049:013)
