The questioner : What are the deeds by which I can be dutiful to my father after his death, other than supplication?
The Shaykh : Yes. Charity, seeking forgiveness, maintaining family ties, and honoring a friend—these are all things by which one can be dutiful after death. However, supplication and seeking forgiveness are the best of things. So, my Muslim brother, you should supplicate for your deceased and make righteous deeds for yourself, for you are in need of righteous deeds. The day will come when you will wish that there were a single good deed in your record of good deeds. Yes.
