Question
What do the scholars of Islam say regarding the following matter: Are our deeds in this world presented before the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَ سَلَّم?
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Yes! The deeds of the Ummah are presented before the Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .
As stated in Kanz al-ꜤUmmāl, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
”حياتي خير لكم تحدثون ويحدث لكم، فاذا انا مت كانت وفاتي خيرا لكم، تعرض علي اعمالكم فان رأيت خيرا حمدت الله تعالى وان رأيت شرا استغفرت لكم“
Meaning, my living is good for you; you converse with me, and I give you beneficial counsel. When I pass away, my passing will be good for you, as your deeds will be presented to me; if I see goodness, I will praise Allah Almighty, and if I find anything else, I will seek forgiveness for you. (Kanz al-ꜤUmmāl, vol. 11, p. 183; Fatāwā Riḍawiyyah, vol. 29, pp. 519-520)
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
(Allah Almighty knows best and His Messenger صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم knows best.)
