Question

What can I do to send thawaab (esaal-e-thawaab) for deceased people?

Answer

Recite the Quraan Shareef and send the thawaab to them. Also do acts of charity and send the thawaab to them. Further, make dua for them that Allah Ta`ala forgives them for any wrong that they may have committed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
