Translation Into English
(Listen, understand, listen, understand. Listen, understand O (pronounce the name of the deceased and her father and her 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 her father and her 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 her father and her 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 her
father [according to another source, her 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 her two sides and take up her soul to
Yourself and grant her from Yourself a Plea.
O Allah, Your forgiveness;
Your forgiveness.
Talqeen
should be recited in the deceased own language also.
Procedure after Talqeen
When the recitation of the Talqeen is completed, the grave should be covered with wooden planks or stone slabs, and the grave filled with soil.
It is Makrooh for blood relatives to throw dust onto the grave thrice with the back of the right hand.
The grave, when covered, should not sit higher than four fingers breadth above the ground. If the grave sinks at a later date, more soil is to be added to bring the level up to the height described.
The upper surface of the grave should be sprinkled with water from the head to the feet continuously, with the person who is doing so, facing Qibla.
All the believers present should then sit on the ground and put their fingers of their right hand into the moistened dirt and recite Surah Al-Humd once and Surah Al-Ikhlas thrice. Bismillah should be recited each time and Salawat (praying Allah's peace be upon the Holy Prophet (s) and his Progeny ('a) said and the blessings awarded to the deceased by stating their name.
The Talqeen should be recited again by the same individual leading prayer, as all the people depart from the grave site.
N.B. A permanent construction of the grave, such as brick, cement, stone, mortar etc. is Makrooh. Digging up the grave and constructing it again is not allowed. [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988).]
