Quran Khwani

The reason why so many people are against Qur’an khani’s is first of all, and MOST important is the the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and/or his Sahabah did not do this practice.

Think about it, the most perfect person in Islam did not do this for his daughters when they passed away nor did the Sahabah do this practice when the Prophet himself passed away.

Do as much dua’a as you can for those who have deceased but do it in the proper manner. Do it in the manner that you find in the sunnah of the Prophet. Yes, it may seem “what is the harm in doing so and so, we’re getting swab from it.” But this is considered a bid’ah or innovation. Something that the Prophet did not do himself yet we have created. If it was truly good, they would have been the first to do it

How can a bid’ah be a good one when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every bid’ah is a going astray and every going astray is in Hell-fire”.

The point is that the Qur’an was revealed to be acted upon and pondered, to be read as an act of worship and read a great deal, not to be given to the dead or to anyone else

Abd Allah ibn Umar said: "Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people see it as something good.

Again, I’ll emphasize that making dua’a is necessary. The way dua’a is made is important. Do only what the Prophet has done. How can we expect to exceed his greatfulness?

I understand what you’re saying Pataka…I do.

I just think that if we only do what is specifically written then a TON of things become forbidden for us to do. There is nothing wrong with praying or hoping your prayers or good deeds are somehow helping your loved ones in the afterlife. What else will help them? Reading Quran in not an innovation, praying is not innovation…praying for the dead is? How? You’re saying that no one in the Prophet’s (pbuh) time prayed for the deceased?

@Pataka

making dua’a is good. but the sawab of reading the Qur’an will not go to the dead person especially if there’s a khatam for the deceased done. Heck, in khatams, no one reads the entire Qur’an themselves. A person reads a part of the Qur’an. That’s disrespecting the Qur’an to be honest.

In khatams, you read a part of the Quran…its a joint effort to finish as many Qurans as possible. How is that Bidat or wrong? You are reading the word of Allah swt and praying for the deceased.
