Ma Yero,
 
You may visit the graves of your deceased loved ones to pay hommage and respect to their life's work. You may also hold vigil at your home or reminiscences with your friends and offer prayer to DaarManso for their peaceful rest and for inspiration from the examples of the deceased.

Folks,
I enquired on this…here is what a friend shared with me.
 
It is really interesting on this one. It is said that both Omar and Abubacarr (RA) are laid next to the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) tomb. It happens to be where Aisha’s (RA) house was located. Further, it is added that the prophet advised Muslims to visit the graves in a way of increasing their faith. Some of the etiquettes require that one does not visit the grave in a way of seeking benefit from the dead, but praying to the deceased. In this case, once you visit the Prophet’s grave, you will say “Peace be unto you Muhammad (SAW), Peace be unto you Abubacarr (RA), and Peace be unto you Omar (RA).” Also to note, Muslims do it during “Umra” and “hazz.” In summation, it is entirely okay to visit the graves of loved ones with a view to offer them prayers, not seeking benefit from the dead.
 
Yero.

Dear Folks,
 
On the extract from the shared dua, it mentioned twice of visiting the grave of the Prophet, but it didn't specifically mention who in particular. I assume this is refering to Prophet Muhammad or Ibraheem (PBUT both). Please correct me if I am wrong.If so, is there any supportive verse or hadith to this, in regards to visiting any of their graves? Or is it refering to the holy Kaabah, knowing that the Quran speaks in highly worded parables beyond our own understanding? Please excuse my ignorance. It is news to me that we can visit the grave of the prophet (Either Muhammad or Ibraheem- PBUT both) as way of tribute. If it is, I hear and I obey. Thanks. Yero.

 
"O my Lord! This is the posture of the one who sought refuge through You and allied himself with Your generosity, and became accustomed to Your forbearance and favours, And You are the benevolent whose forgiveness is never strained, neither are Your bounties ever decreasing, nor is Your mercy ever lacking, And we have known with certainty of Your ancient pardon, great bountifulness and vast mercy, Would You, O Allah, ever disappoint our thoughts or let down our hopes? No never, O Most Generous! for it is not what we expect of You, nor is it what we aspire for, O Allah, we have a greater and ever lasting hope in You, We anticipate prolonged and immense prospect in You, We anticipate great desire in You, We disobeyed You and now we wish that You protect our secret (sins), And we prayed to You and we hope You would answer us, So fulfil our aspiration, O our Master, for otherwise, we realise (the punishment) we deserve as a result of our bad deeds, But Your awareness of our conduct and our knowledge that You indeed wont send us away from You, has motivated us to seek You, and even though we are not worthy of Your mercy, You are worthy of bestowing Your generosity on us and on all the sinners due to Your vast compassion, So, award us with what You are worthy of, and grant us for we are in need of Your bounty. O Most Forgiving! With Your light we were guided and with Your bounties we became richer, and with Your favours we are encountered mornings and evenings, Our sins are before You and we ask You, O Master, for forgiveness and we hereby repent, You befriend us with Your gifts but we reward You by sins, Your bounty to us is ever descending, but our mischief to You is (ever) ascending. And from before and until now , Your honoured angel still brings You the news of our ugly deeds but that does not prevent You from continuing to surround us with Your grace, and kindly provide us with Your holy features. So, I glorify and praise You for the extent of Your patience, greatness and generosity as a Beginner (of creation ) and eventual Claimer of this world. Holiest are Your names, And glorified is Your praise, And honoured are Your favours and good deeds. You, my Lord, are more vast in bounty and greater in patience and clemency than to judge me according to my wrong doing and fault, So I beg You : Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, O my Master, O my Master, O my Master. O Lord! Occupy our time with Your remembrance, And guard us from Your wrath, And protect us from Your punishment, And grant us from Your rewards, And award us from Your bounties, And provides us the means to conduct pilgrimage to Your house (Kaba), and to visit the tomb of Your Prophet, may Your peace, mercy, forgiveness and graciousness be bestowed upon him and his family, Indeed, You are close and forthcoming with Your answer (to our prayers). And assist us in abiding by Your obedience, and claim our souls while we are in Your (righteous) congregation and followers of the tradition of Your Prophet, may peace of Allah be upon him and his family. O Lord! Forgive me and my parents and grant them mercy as they have raised me since I was youthful, reward their good deeds with bountifulness and (pardon) their sins with forgiveness. O Lord! Forgive the believers, be they men or women, living or dead, and let us follow on their path with good deeds. O Lord! Forgive (for) the living or deceased of us, (believers) the present and the absent, our male and female, our young and old, our free and our slave, Indeed the antagonists of Allah lied and enormously wandered astray, and incurred a major loss. O Lord! Bestow Your peace on Muhammad and his family, and conclude my life in virtue, and resolve what worries me from the affairs of this life and in the hereafter, and do not allow anyone who wont treat me justly to come in contact with me, and provide me with Your everlasting protection and do not deprive me of the best of the amenities. You graced me with, and confer on me from Your bounties, vast awards that are lawful and good. O Lord! Guard me with Your safeguard, And protect me with Your protection, And ally me with Your alliance, And award me the ability to conduct pilgrimage to Your sacred house (Kaba) in this year and in every year, and to visit the tomb of Your prophet and the Imams, peace be upon them, and do not deprive me, Oh Lord, from visiting these honourable sanctuaries and noble positions."

An Inspirational Moment!
 
Folks,
Muslims are celebrating ‘night of power’ today in many parts of the world. A lot is said about the virtue of such a night. According to authentic narrations, the night is worth many years of worship. Further, according to authentic narrations quoted by many disciples of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the night can be searched in the last ten days, more so the odd numbers. It makes the 27th night of Ramadan the day that many intensify worship to win the promised virtues of this night. Either way, you can’t be wrong overshooting than undershooting, to borrow a quote from a work friend.
 
As you pray to night, ask God to bring peace and tranquility. We also ask God to bring an end to tyranny all over the world. Jannah is most precious, therefore O Lord Allah; to you belong the best names. Please admit us to Jannah. Please forgive our shortcomings and accept us to Jannah by your mercy and grace.
 
Here is a lengthy post of a dua at Bantaba, please click to share the wealth. Share the link with your family and friends.
 
I wish you all a successful night of power and eid-ul fitr.
 
Kind Regards with love,
Yero.
