Writing verses on the graves of the deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Between the Shaykh and the rule of the mid-morning prayer.

The Shaykh:
But they write verses that are not appropriate.
"O reassured soul, (28) Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
[Al-Fajr 89:27-28]
This serves as a testimony for the deceased. It is a testimony for the deceased that his soul is at peace and that he is in a state of satisfaction and contentment. You do not know about this. But you should hold a good opinion of the Muslim and make du'a for him, rather than writing the verse. Writing the verse in a place where it does not belong is a testimony for the deceased, and you do not know his state with Allah the Exalted.
