visiting the graveyard

[Naaima]

Salam alaikum

"It is one of the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim that he should visit his grave."
Imam Ja'fer As-Sadiq (AS)

Upon seeing the graves one must greet them (with salaam) The following salaam is recommended
Wherever possible face qibla, and recite Suratul Fatiha for all the marhumeen.

On the grave you are visiting recite

1 Suratul Fatiha three times
2 Suratul Qadr three times
3 Ayatul Kursi three times
4 Suratul Falaq three times
5 Suratun Naas three times
6 Suratu Yaseen
7 Any dua asking Allah's forgiveness for the marhum/a
Respect the sanctity of the grave yard. The prophet (S.A.W.) has said:
"If I have to walk over burning desert or fire or to place my foot on the edge of a sharp sword, I would prefer it to trampling on the grave of a Muslim."

He also said to Imam Ali (AS)
"Ya Ali! Allah considers a few things undesirable for my followers. One of them is laughing in a graveyard"

Thank you, inshallah i plan to visit deceased family in their graves soon. It humbles the soul and make you remember death.

Indeed it does.

I live opposite a funeral home and drive past 4 each day.
