Talqeen
Amir-ul-Mu'mineen
Ali ('a) said:
"He who sells his next life for his present life in
this world, loses both of them." [Qurar-ul-Hikam,
pg. 274]
Before
covering the grave with wooden planks or stone, the person sitting in
the grave with the deceased is to hold the right shoulder of the
deceased with his / her right hand and the left shoulder of the
deceased with his / her left hand. During the recitation of the
Talqeen, every time the name of the deceased is said, the person is to
shake or jerk the shoulders of the deceased, as if to wake him/ her up.
The
recitation of Talqeen is to remind the deceased of the fundamentals of
the true religion.
A separate Talqeen is to be recited for the male and the female.
Text
for Recitation of Talqeen
If the deceased is a male, recite the following:

Translation
(Listen, understand,
listen, understand. Listen, understand O (pronounce
the name of the
deceased and his father [according to another source, his Mother]).
Are you on the pledge on which you left us by way of testimony
that there is no god except Allah, the One, there being no partner for
Him and that Muhammad, Allah may send blessings on him and on his
Progeny, and also salutation, is His servant and His Messenger and the
chief of the Prophets and the last of the Messengers;
And that Ali is the commander of the faithful and chief of the
vicegerents and the Imam whose obedience Allah has made
obligatory on the worlds;
And that Hassan and Hussain and Ali son of Hussain and Muhammad son of
Ali son of Hussain and Muhammad son of Ali, And Jafar son of Muhammad
and Moosa son of Jafar and Ali son of Moosa and Muhammad son of Ali and
Ali son of Muhammad and Hassan son of Ali and the existing Guide, the
Mahdi, Allah’s blessings be on them are the Imams of the
Faithful;
And the pleas of Allah over the entire creation;
And your Imams, the Guides, the virtuous (pronounce
the name of the
deceased and his father [according to another source, his Mother]) when
come to you the two angels of high position and messengers from Allah
the High, and Exalted, And question you about your Sustainer, and about
your Prophet; and about your religion, and
about your Book;
And about your Qibla and about your Imams;
Then do not fear and do not grieve and say in their reply that Allah,
His Glory be Heightened is my Sustainer and Muhammad, Allah may send
blessings on him and his Progeny and also salutation, is my Prophet, and
Islam is my religion;
And the Quoran is my Book;
And Ka’aba is my Qibla;
And the Commander of the Faithful Ali son of Abu Talib is my Imam;
And Hussain son of Ali, the martyr of Kerbala is my Imam;
And Ali Zayn Al-Abidin is my Imam;
And Muhammad son of Ali, Baqir-e Ilme Nabiyeen is my Imam;
And Jafar Sadiq is my Imam;
and Moosa Kazim is my Imam;
and Ali Riza is my Imam;
And Muhammad-ul Jawad is my Imam;
And Ali-il Hadee is my Imam;
And Hassan-al Askari is my Imam;
And the Awaited Hujjat is my Imam.
All these, Allah’s
blessings be on them all, are my Imams and my masters and my leaders and
my intercessors.
To them I bear love and from their enemies I seek aloofness in this
world and the Next one.
Then know O (pronounce the name of
the deceased and his father [according to another source, his Mother]) that
Allah the High and the Exalted is the Best Sustainer;
And that Muhammad, Allah may send blessings on him and his Progeny and
also salutation, is the best Messenger; and that Ameerul Momineen Ali
son of Abu Talib and his sons, the eleven Imams, are the best
Imams;
And that whatever was bought by Muhammad, Allah may send blessings on
him and his Progeny and also salutation, is True;
And that death is true;
And the questioning by Munkar and Nakeer in the grave is true;
And Resurrection is true, and that Revival is true;
And Sirat is true, and the Scale is true;
And the coming down of Scriptures is true;
And Paradise is true;
And Hell is true;
And that Day of Judgement is to come, there being no doubt in it;
And that Allah would raise up those in the graves.
Did you comprehend O (pronounce the
name of the deceased and his
father [according to another source, his Mother])
Allah may keep you firm in firm talk
Allah may guide you towards the Right Path.
Allah may create mutual knowledge between you and your friends in the
abode of His Mercy.
O Allah expand the earth from his two sides and take up his soul to
Yourself and grant him from Yourself a Plea.
O Allah, Your forgiveness;
Your forgiveness.
