Question:
Answer:
Talqin:
It is clear evidence that communication with the deceased remains possible even after death.
It is an explicit reference to the spiritual life that follows death!
It also points specifically to the reality that relationships between this world and the Hereafter, and between those who dwell in them, take many forms.
Even in the present circumstances of this world, those in this world can influence the people of the Hereafter, and the people of the Hereafter can influence one another.
It shows that teaching, learning and exhortation do not end with death: those in this world can teach those in the Hereafter, and vice versa!
Talqin also reveals the further grace of the Almighty Lord toward the deceased: for a particular group among them, it makes it possible to make up for some of what they have missed.
The dying and the deceased may forget in the face of the terrors of death; talqin compensates for this possibility.
The state and manner of the person giving talqin affect the deceased; they serve as a kind of spiritual nourishment for them.
Talqin is a form of prayer on behalf of the deceased.
Talqin can also be directed to those present at the funeral procession and burial, serving as exhortation and instruction!
And so on ...
Talqin becomes part of the deceased’s accumulated stores.
