How is it to perform Teejah, Daswan, and Chaliswan?

In some areas, for the Isal-e-Sawab (conveying reward) to the deceased, food for Teejah (3rd day), Satwan (7th day), Daswan (10th day), Chaliswan (40th day), Shashmahi (six-monthly), and Salana (annual) is cooked and served; this has no basis in Islamic Shariah. Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi writes in his book "Jami' al-Barakat" that "Behtar aanast ke na khurad", meaning it is better not to eat such food. If someone must perform Isal-e-Sawab, they should do it according to the Shariah method; there should neither be any restriction of specific foods nor should specific days be fixed. Whatever is available according to one's capacity should be distributed among the poor and needy. The customs of Fatiha and Qul Khwani etc., are Bid'ah (innovations). (Aham Masail / Vol: 2 / Pg: 39)

The Divine Wisdom Behind Trials: A Beautiful Lesson by Maulana Rumi

The Divine Wisdom Behind Trials: A Beautiful Lesson by Maulana Rumi

One day, Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaih) went inside his house and saw his son sitting sadly. He inquired, "Son, why are you sad?" The son replied, "It's nothing." Upon this, Maulana Rumi (RA) went outside, put on a wolf's skin, came back inside, and began to growl to frighten him. At this, his son laughed, so he said: "Son, a wolf is a wild animal, but when you saw that your father was behind it, instead of being afraid, you began to laugh and smile. Similarly, know that behind all trials and hardships is your Lord." "He who loves you more than 70 mothers—if He wishes to put you through a difficulty, you may not understand His wisdom, but He knows best." "He wants to teach you something, to make you strong for the times ahead, for even tougher trials. And know that He only tests those whom He loves." _____________________________________ Quoted.
