Salaam Alaykum,
I was just wondering if anyone does duaa for the deceased every thursday? and if you know why thursday is such an important day? i have been told it is because the night before Jumaah is very special and also something to do with the spirits of the deceased coming down or something? (not sure about the second one)
Can anyone tell me more? give Qur'an/hadith references?
Thank you,
i swear it said global warming. you playing mind games with me missy?
yeah me g makes a special dua every thursday, don't know why.
our deeds are presented to the prophet
every thursday so maybe its something to do with that.
Yep my family do it on thursdays too and i ddnt know about the deeds thing so thanks

why don't you ask your family?
i'd ask me g if i cud understand her.
you can read. *clap clap*
erm who's your g? :S
Yes i did and the above reasons where mentioned but like with no proper references that this was specificly mentioned to be done as sunnah or whatever so i was wondering if anyone had the qur'an/hadith references or any other info?
Plus my family say it should be done before maghrib because technically after it is the next day and that is why like you should read Surah Qaaf anytime between after Maghrib on Thursday and before Maghrib on Friday so that means its not really night if they are doing it before Maghrib?

our good and bad deeds are shown to the prophet
every thursday.

She probably wants a reference.

she aint getting one.
Surah Kahf, surely?
Surah Qaf is number.... 50?
Don't just do something! Stand there.
Isn't it the deeds shown to Allah on Thursdays?
links and quotes would make this whole thing easier to digest?
(@ above question I would ask that does Allah (swt) not know anyway?)

God sees what we do 24/7. God sees our deeds on thursdays, fridays, saturdays, sundays... you get the drift AND they are not shown to Him, nothing needs to be shown to Him as He is God, He sees all.
our deeds are presented to the prophet
on a thursday, the prophet 
is alive.
Incorrect.
God sees what we do 24/7, true. However our deeds are also presented to God on Thursdays. Off the top of my head there's a Hadith in which the Beloved Prophet
said "The deeds are presented to Allah SWT on Thursdays so I like my deeds to reach Him SWT whilst I'm fasting."
I've also heard that the deeds are presented to the Holy Prophet
but it was a long time ago and I may be forced to research. (I'm too good to you, you guys don't deserve me...)
@Noor: You seem like you're having a hard time at the moment. Try to relax, inshAllah whatever it is that's drainning your energy will be resolved.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Salaam,
This is all I could locate thus far:
This link mentions referances.

Yep so sorry, i did mean Surah Kahf thanks for the correction.
Aww thank you!

who presents our deeds to God? God sees and knows all, past present and future.
i've also heard a similar hadith, the prophet
was asked about fasting (why he fasted) and he 
replied that when the angel of death visits him 
he wants to be in a state of ibadah (fasting is a from of ibadah). but now you mentioned that hadith i'm not so sure, maybe i've somehow mixed the two up. insha'Allah i'll try to get some references and stuff.
there ijma on this. insha'Allah i'll dig some stuff up.
but even though Allah (swt) see everything the angels are the ones that report back the deeds...but im sure thats everyday at Asr time. :S

Thank you!
Shaykh ul Islam mentioned this and said that, still the ahadith tell us that Allah SWT is presented with the deeds (refering to the Hisab on the day of Judgement). The reason why He SWT is presented with them is out of the ettiquettes of the Divine court. That is, the best of courts has the most filigree of ordinances. Even though Allah SWT has complete knowledge of our deeds anyway. (Shaykh then told how this related to the apparently different traditions about the Holy Prophet
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

that is reported in tirmidhi, narrated by abu hurayrah (ra). i was wrong then. i need to do some digging for the other stuff. insha'Allah i'll flog something up soon.
Thus the reason why I said what I said.
ok i asked shaykh ramadhan qadri yesterday about this and he confirmed, our deeds are presented to the prophet
on thursday and mondays or on one of the two days. the prophet 
sees our deeds and asks forgiveness accordingly on our behalf from Allah (swt). this is in sahih muslim.
We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allah's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad saw) and begged Allah's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allah All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful. surah an nisa, v64
Abu Hurayrah says: "Rasool Allah said: 'Deeds are presented (before Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays. I desire that my deeds be presented whilst I am fasting'". tirmidhi
so erm is this why people may think its good to make Duaa for the deceased on Thursdays?

i dont no, im not those people.
ok thanks anyway.

They make dua on Thursdays. Its probably not specifically for the deceased. or I may be wrong.

Never mind. i doubt il get any evidence for it, doesnt matter its not like its soemthing bad being done anyway.
