The book "Honoring the dead and being beneficent towards them", written by Walid al-Sa'dun, addresses the subject of death which strikes families and represents for the deceased the end of his works, but not for all. Indeed, the good deeds accomplished after his death can be registered in his favor, without him having done anything for it. To honor the memory of the deceased, the author suggests different ways to be useful, notably through lasting alms and pious bequests.

The book outlines the most important good deeds to offer the reward to the deceased, which will benefit him in his grave and in the afterlife, such as lasting alms, invocations, donations and pious legacies. The author was careful to respect Sunni orthodoxy and to avoid any innovation or religious infraction.

This book is therefore essential for all those who wish to honor the memory of their deceased loved ones in a manner consistent with religious teachings.
