Abstract:
The aim of the research, with the help and support of Allah, is to clarify the good deeds that proved in the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (May Allah’s Peace and Blessings be upon him), that their reward reaches the dead, and which were mentioned clearly in Hadiths, in addition to, what the hard worker scholars deduced and measured on these authentic hadiths. The research also includes the refutation of any reward for any bidah (a condemnable innovation in religion) the occurrence of which is not found in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ( May Allah’s Peace and Blessings be upon him),whether  in sayings, deeds , authentic Hadiths, or that work was mentioned in hadiths that did not prove to be authentic. The research also replies to those who deny that the reward of good deeds mentioned in authentic Hadiths could benefit the dead. The research also includes some Hadiths that apparently contradict with the hadiths that stated that good deeds reach the dead and it tries to remove that dispute, and reconcile the texts. The research concludes with an investigation of the importance of preparation for meeting Allah and making this world like a farm for the Hereafter.
