Commemorate death deceased anniversaries in Islam!!Kulkhani daswan, beseewan, chalisswan,  khawanis based on Islam ?

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Al-Anaam verse 164:

Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah Ahzab verse 21:

There is indeed the best example for you to follow in the Messenger of Allah, for every such person looks forward to Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.

 

 

 

Many amongst the Prophet's (saws) own family and companions died in his own lifetime, but there is absolutely no evidence in the authentic and established Sunnah that the Messenger of Allah (saws) ever performed the rites or rituals of 'quls, daswan, beseewan, chalisswan, quran khawanis,' etc. for the benefit of the deceased soul; nor did he (saws) ever endorse the performing of such acts!

 

Abu Hurairah reported that The Prophet (saws), said, 'When a person dies all his good deeds cease except for three:

 

  • continuous act of charity: ie. the charity done by the deceased like building a school, or a hospital, or a mosque, or a well, etc. which is still being utilized for the good of man even after his death....the deceased shall earn a reward for such continuous deeds of charity even after his death.

  • beneficial knowledge: ie. if the deceased strove and exhorted someone to believe and obey their Lord Creator, or the deceased gave someone a copy of the Glorious Quran, or some good advice, etc....then he will continue to receive the rewards of every good that person did on his advice.

  • righteous offspring: ie. the near and loved ones who constantly supplicate their Lord to forgive their deceased loved one.

 

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4515 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib

That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: "If anyone introduces an innovation (in religion), he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His Angels, and by all the people."

 

Aisha narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: 'If somebody innovates something which is not present in our religion, then that thing will be rejected.'

 

Therefore if someone starts or follows the self-invented rites and rituals of 'quls, daswan, beseewan, chalisswan, quran khawanis,' etc., assuming it to be an act of worship, or a rite which will bring about the Pleasure or Good Will of Allah Subhanah, or a ritual which will benefit the soul of the deceased in any way whatsoever, he will be inventing a thing in the deen of Islam which is not from the deen! And that is exactly what the Messenger of Allah (saws) termed as 'bidah' or innovation; and every single innovation in the pure and perfect deen of Islam is an error, a sin, and absolutely detestable to the Lord Most Majestic.

 

Sahih Muslim Hadith 1885     Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah

That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said in a sermon:  “The best speech is that which is embodied in the Book of Allah, the Al Quran;  and the best guidance is the guidance given by me, Mohamed (saws).   The most evil affairs are the innovations (bida), and every innovation (bida) is an error.”

 

Conclusion: As Prophet SWA life time didn't follow Kulkhani ,Challisha or  any ritual of dead person. hence should be avoided.

Please try to avoid those kind of Bidah.

 

May ALLAH mercy on us to forbid from those kind of activites.
