In the Name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Sadaqah
Jariyah
By

Many people are confused
between Sadaqah Jariyah
(Continuous/Ongoing Charity) and Esaal-E-Sawaab.
These are two different topics and should not be mixed with each other.
Duaa is also different topic and one must keep making Duaa for all
Muslims including their parents. May Allah forgive our parents
& all Mumins and give
them a nice place in Jannat-al-Firdous, AMEEN.
Esaal-E-Sawaab is a
biddat, a new invention which is against the teaching of the Quraan.
For Esaal-E-Sawaab misguided
people recite verses from the Quraan and ask Allah to send Sawaab (Good
Deed) to the deceased (dead person). Those who believe in
Esaal-E-Sawaab should also believe in Esaal-E-Gunaah, in which a person
does a great crime/sin and send Esaal-E-Gunaah to Pharaoh etc. BUT
that cannot happen since Allah already mentioned that you will get
reward of what you have done, not others. Remember: The words
"paradise" and "hell" are each repeated 77 times. There is NO
Esaal-E-Sawaab and NO
Esaal-E-Gunaah.
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.
Sadaqah Jariyah
is HAQ and is valid. A person himself/herself directly involved in
doing good deeds, e.g. if a person helps in building a Masjid, he/she
will continuously getting reward for that as long as Masjid is there
and people will be worshipping there. Also if a person raises good
children he/she will get good ongoing rewards. Same is true for a
person takes part in bad deed, his Gunaah will be increasing
continuously.
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 is by 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)
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)
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.
