– Muhammad Hamza Answer:There are 3 basic questions that will
be asked to a dead person in the grave. [Arabic] Who is your God? [Arabic] Who is the Holy
Prophet PBUH [Arabic] What is your religion. This doesn’t mean that no other questions

guide us to give the right answers to all these questions and make us prepared for it
during this life. Question: Way of putting the body in the grave
– How should we put the body in the grave? – Raees Ahmed
Answer: The right and Sunnah way to lower the body in the grave in the eyes of scholars
is that when you ready the grave,the body should be put on its side and it should be
pointing towards the Qiblah. So the direction where it is put in the grave,it should be
lowered in the same way. Meaning not by the leg or head, like when the grave is this way
then the body should be this way. Not from the head or legs. If the grave is in front
of you and the Qiblah is on the left then take the body on the left of the grave and
lower it. And it should be facing the Qiblah. This is the Sunnah way.
Question: Should a Hafiz become a scholar or seek professional education? My father
doesn’t let me memorize the Quran. He says to gain professional education as it will
benefit you. But I want to Hifz/memorize the Quran and become a scholar. I convinced him
a lot but he doesn’t agree for it. Suggest me something so that he is convinced and I
become a Hafiz and scholar. – Fahad from India.
Answer: If your age is older then if someone who spends 8 years in becoming a scholar then
his time of earning and working has passed away. If your father is stopping you because
of this reason as you will be unable to become a scholar and a professional both because
of being older than needed then comply and obey your father. If you are the sole and
only child of your father and there is a problem of finance in the house . Your father fears
that if you start becoming a scholar then he doesn’t have another child that would
earn to provide food then you should obey him. If these 2 problems do not exist like
you have another earning person and you are of not senior age and the usual age for gaining
Islamic knowledge then it is not farz to obey your father. Because what a person has to
do,earn, learn,become a scholar,doctor,engineer or pilot all of this doesn’t require to
obey parents 100% nor can parents force their decision. Like if someone wants to
do business but his father suggests a job. Yes you will be rewarded for obeying him but
it isn’t compulsory to obey him. You havefreedom in certain aspects. Some things are basic
rights of a human. If you want to travel to London or America for trading/business and
you are sure you can succeed in it but your father says to do business on Anda morr(nearby
place) and do business of ice lollies then it isn’t allowed for the father to force
your child. Scholars have said that it is allowed for a child. But such travelling in
which you may abandon your parents ,basic rights of parents then it is haram. Just like
business is halal with or without permission of your father then why wouldn’t becoming
a scholar be forbidden? It is permitted and a source of earning rewards and good deeds.
My message for the father is that if you make your son a scholar then your child will be
your source of proudness on the day of judgement. Nowadays a lot of parents want their child
to become a scholar but the child doesn’t want to. They pray and cry a lot in tahajjud
to Allah to make their child a scholar. Parents should be proud that their child wants to
become a scholar But it is necessary that wherever you seek Islamic knowledge then confirm
how the environment is of that place and do they even provide quality education or not?
How are the teachers? After confirming do it. Don’t join any random place as there
is risk of waste of abilities/talent so keep all things under consideration and then take
a decision. I advise your father too that not everything is worldly. If your son becomes
a scholar then you will be happy on the day of judgement.
