Do you talk to the dead?

And no, I don’t mean to ghosts, but if someone you loved passed away, do you ever talk to them in your mind just to vent or cry or complain to them.

I will pick up my dada’s picture and have one-sided conversations with him which surprisingly have me feeling better after I’m done.

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

yeah told me, also when you reply guppans you feel like taking to a brick.

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

I'm reading "The Awakening" by Kelley Armstrong right now which deals with this subject..... apparently talking to the dead is not so glamorous after all.

Maybe when I visit/pass by a Muslim graveyard.

I seem to have a trigger finger - the topic gets posted before I'm finished typing. And hey, what about the guppans - for all the reaction and discussion you get from some of them - they may as well be dead as well.

My mother reads Surah-e-Yaseen every Thursday for my late nana. She says that the deceased wait for their loved ones to remember them and this is her way of communicating with him - by reading a dua in his name to express that she remembers him.

Well I'm talking more about saying salams to the inhabitants of the graveyard when you pass by/through one.

Doing good deeds in their name is something separate as I understand.

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

Hey, you changed the whole topic :smack: No fair
From your first post, it seemed like you were talking about something like in the movie “sixth sense”

11

I always always say Salam too when near a graveyard.

I think the OP is saying more like "kaash aap hotay aaj to aisa aisa hota ... or I wish you were alive today so .... "

It's actually more than doing a good deed (which would be like reading a fateha or feeding the poor in his name). It's because she believes that the deceased wait to be acknowledged by their family. On the rare Thursday she's unable to read the surah, she feels like he was disappointed because he was waiting for her and she didn't acknowledge him.

It's kind of weird to explain. It's just that I think the deceased still "feel" after they've died and that they can listen and know what their loved ones are doing.

13

Well, it could be, I don't have much knowledge of this. I always thought that any good deed, be it fasting, nafl rakaats, reading of Quran, charity etc. is one thing, then talking to them at the grave/graveyard is something else. Of course I could be wrong.

14

Sorry - like I said to TLK - blame it on my trigger finger. And no, I don’t mean like Sixth Sense - because I don’t “see” ghosts nor do they “talk” to me. It’s one-sided conversation where I feel like they can hear me. Spiral got what I was talking about.

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

I do not talk to deads cause I have a faith that my words are not reaching them. If I ever feel like telling my dad something, I do dua for Allah to pass my message to him.

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

hmmm....interesting!

Re: Do you talk to the dead?

hmmm... I haven't had anyone real close to me pass away, so I don't know what I would do if they weren't around.... my ammi is alhamdulillah living but she's in Pakistan, so sometimes when I get really depressed or have had a fight with hubby dear and I'm crying you know, I kind of call out to her in my mind, it calms me down quicker.

18

as long as the call out is not 'ammi aap ne kya soch ke meri shadi yahaan kee thee' ... its all good.

^:cb: no worries, its all good… only happened 2-3 times in 5 years :smiley:

^^^^ And when you make "sense" like that ^^^, it's because you've been hit in the head with a brick.
