Yesterday when opening the inbox, one friend asked me, "Why do that ahead of Ramadan many people to the funeral? What are you doing?"
I'm the short answer, "Send prayer".
Maybe it could be crossed with further questions at the heart of our companions said, "emangnya nyampe shipment prayer to the dead? Just what she knew what would we go?"
In one of the book (the book) that discuss this, a book entitled "Ar-Ruh", the author, Ibn al-Jawziyya Qoyyim reveal much proof that the person who has died to know if diziarahi and said hello when greeted. A hadith of the Prophet explained: "If someone made a pilgrimage to the grave of his brother, and sit close to the tomb of his brother, the brother who had died it would feel calm and answered his greeting, until the last person standing left the funeral".
Even on the following pages Ibn Qoyyim explain many opinions at once the proposition that actions and the actions of those who still live broadcast live to relatives who have died; if they look good deeds of his family, they will be excited and happy.
Hmm, okay, now? Is the spirits of people who had died were also meet and visit?
Ibn Qoyyim classify spirit into two:
- Spirit of the tortured
- Spirit who wallow favors
Tortured souls, is preoccupied by her ordeal so did not get to see each other or visit. While the spirit which gained the favor, in a free state so that it can not be arrested anywhere to visit each other, discuss their past even while living in the world.
Then, if the spirits of the deceased can be met with the living?
Said Ibn Qoyyim, can, through the mediation of the dream world while living person is sleeping, talking, talk about anything, even about what happens in the world, and this is very much about the story we hear. One of them was in the days of the Prophet, experienced by his friends.
Told, two companions of the Prophet intimates that mutual friends, Auf bin Malik and Sha'b bin Jutsamah, both make a deal, if one of them died first, then if you can, who died should come in the dream is still alive.
Some time later Sha'b died, and he came to dream Auf, Auf had seen in the dream and the two began talking.
"What have you experienced there?" Ask Auf.
"Forgiven for my sins, thank God," said Sha'b. Only Auf see black spots on the neck Sha'b.
"What is this?" Ask Auf.
"Oh, it's because my debt to a Jew, 10 dinars, yet I pay, please pay, the money is in a box in my house, his place in the corner." Sha'b said.
"Auf, I tell you, all the family news after me, entirely up to me, even our cat that had just died a few days ago," continued Sha'b closed the meeting.
Afterwards Auf awoke with awe, and immediately rushed to a friend's house to prove whether the dream is true. Arriving at the friend's house, it was what was said in the dream was true. Money 10 Dinar is also found in a box in the corner of the house, and by Auf taken to be paid on the last Jew.
However Auf asked was what really Sha'b Jews owed him 10 dinars and have not been paid? Jews had been confirmed if Sha'b owed him.
Afterwards Auf back home Sha'b, and ask Sha'b wife, whether there is something in this house? Sha'b wife replied, did not happen anything, except a cat that died a few days ago.
Believe it or not, back to friends. And I personally also have a similar story. After my grandfather died, about a few months later he came to dream Babaku, informing him that the bathroom door hinges broken, prompting immediate fix so that the door can not be separated override his grandchildren.
When awake, baba still consider it an ordinary dream, and baba to the bathroom as usual, and when you open the door, turns the hinge regardless real. After the door was immediately addressed babaku.
Okay, now, what may award the reward of charity to those who have died?
Why not? Hajj on behalf of the deceased (Hajj Badal) can, which means that the reward of course for men. Similarly other charities such as prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, reading Quran, almsgiving, and prayer, everything can premises intention of doing deeds were to be awarded in the spirit of the dead, and reward it up to them with the permission of Allah as a valuable parcel. About this also described in detail and at length with the arguments saheeh by Ibn Qoyyim earlier in his book, "Ar-Ruh".
Problem soul is full of mystery, just a little to our knowledge of the essence of all living beings. Most of the spirit from the other side I've also said in one of my books, "Soul Station"

(Yas-alunaka anir ruh, qul-ir ruh min amri Robbi, wa maa utitum minal ilmi illa qolila)

They ask you about the spirit, saying that the soul is a matter of my Lord, and you are not given knowledge of it except a little.
