The great Damascene scholar, Shaikh Abdul Wakil Durubi(d. 1990’s) was asked about the benefits of visiting graves.

The Shaikh replied with seven benefits.

1. It is Sunnah to do so. The Prophet Muhammad SAWS said “I had forbidden you to visit graves but now go visit them.”(Narrated in Sahih Muslim)

2. Sober reflection on death (I’tibar) softens the visitor’s heart: how many a stony-hearted person was altered by visiting the dead and realizing he or she too would someday die.

3. Realizing the deceased is alone in his grave without family or friends, with only his works waiting for Judgement Day, makes the heart less attached to worldly things.

4. The dead hear their visitors, and like to be visited.

5. If one recites from the Quran and donates the reward to them, that it benefits them(This is agreed upon by all four Sunni schools of fiqh).

6. The visitor too has the reward for reciting the Quran.

7. The light of the deceased is reflected in the hearts of those whom Allah benefits with it.
