How can a husband whose wife has died (and he's become her non-mehram), pray for his wife for 'isal-e-sawab'?

Answer

In the Middle Ages, most people believed that the sun moved while the moon was standstill. But according to the verse of the Glorious Holy Quran given to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) by the one and only Supreme Being, Allah, both the sun and the moon have their orbit and the sun is in the center of the universe where the planets transverse around. These verses revealed 1400 years ago before major scientists around the world established this fact.

Here are some of the verses given in the Quran:

1.) "Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; then He established Himself on the Throne; He has subjected the sun and the moon! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord. Surah 13 (Ar-Ra'd), Verse 2.

2.) "He(Allah) created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again?" Surah 39 (Az-Zumar), Verse 5.

3.) "And the Moon,- We have measured for her stations (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk." Surah 36 (Yaseen), Verse 39.

4.) "It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law)." "Surah 36 (Yaseen), Verse 40.
