Someone asked the Prophet of Islam (a.s.),” I have memorised the Quran. Is it better to recite it from the memory or by looking at the Book?" ” The Prophet (a.s.) replied , “t is better to recite looking at the pages of the Book because even looking at the book is auspicious.” Then the Prophet (a.s.) said that there are six things that would be the cause of benefit to a person even after his death: 1. A pious son who prays for the deliverence of his parents after their death. 2. A copy of the Quran that will be read and recited by others after a person’s death. 3. A well that has been dug for the benefit of the populace. 4. Creating a canal or a source of running water. 5. A tree that has been planted to give shade to the others. 6. The good examples set by the person for others to follow after his death.
