Method of Sending Reward (Sawāb) to the Deceased

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) declared that if a person recites Sūrah Yā-Sīn when at a graveyard, that day the bodies in the graveyard receive less punishment.

It is related in a Hadith that if a person enters a graveyard and recites Sūrah Fātiha, Sūrah Ikhlās and Sūrah Takāthur and bestows the reward to the deceased bodies residing in the graveyard, the bodies will plea on behalf of that person.

It is a good act for the successors of the deceased one to recite the Holy Quran, Ayat Kareema:

لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ سُبْحَانَکَ اِنِّی کُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّلِمِیْن

etc. and to bestow the reward to the deceased one. To feed the poor, clothe the poor or to perform any other bodily or monetary worship and grant the reward of it to the deceased is a very virtuous deed.

Remember! After one passes away from this world he stands in need from those still alive. This is why it is important not to be negligent and careless towards sending reward to the deceased.

Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
