(There is no power except God, the forbearing and gracious) to the end, in the Qunoot as being beneficial for the time of death) Second occasion : Adeela Indul Maut (Satanic thought in death): This is the turning away from the Truth to the false and wrong at the time of death.

This is because Satan approaches men at the time of their death creating and raising doubts in their minds to the extent that one's correct faith may be completely shaken; one may even become bereft of it and he may die an in filed or faithless. Traditions advice us that as safeguard one should be in the habit of recalling the Usool-e- Deen with its proof so that when he is reminded of the Usool at his death bed, and in Talqeen, certainty of faith would prevail and doubts would cease.

Dua-e-Adeela, present in Mafateeh-ul-Jinaan is also helpful and should be read at the death bed. Reciting the tasbeeh of Hazrat Fatima, wearing Aqiq (cornelian) ring, reading Soora-e-Maumenoon on Fridays, reading Bismillah.,.La Haula Wala... alter Morning and Maghrib Prayers, are all beneficial.

(Recommending of particular duas and scooras for particular objects is because of the special meanings contained ion them, which if understood and taken to heart, have corrective influence upon man.) Third occasion; Wehshate Qabr (Fear and horror of the Grave). This is more severe, and fearful than the previous occasions. When the body is brought near the grave it should not be put into it at once.

Since this is a very fearful time, it should rather be prepared for it by breaking the journey thrice (Manzil), because the spirit still retains interest in the body. The Holy Prophet has said. The most fearful time for the dead is their first night in the grave.

Help your dead in this hour of need by giving charity on their behalf and by praying for them (Namaz-e-Wehshat)." ln this prayer, in the first Rakaat one should read Ayat-ul-Kursi after Soora-e-Hamd and in the second after Soora-e-Hamd Soora-e-Qadr ten times. Alternatively, in the first Rakaat, Soora-e-Tawheed (Qul howa Allah) is read twice and in the second, Soora-e-Takaasur ten times.

Also beneficial is reading La Ilaha lila Allah ul Malik ul Haqqul Mubeen (There is no power except God, the king. the right, the manifester) 100 times daily and reading Soorae-Yaseen every night before sleeping. Fourth occasion: Constriction in the Grave : This is also a difficult time.
