The reward of the caller continues after their death.
0:11
Indeed, one of the greatest and most noble virtues of calling [to Allah] and its fruits for the caller themselves
0:18
is that its reward continues for them after their death.
0:22
For they leave behind a good legacy.
0:25
Allah the Almighty says:
0:27
“Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.” (36:12)

“Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.” (36:12)

So His saying, the Almighty, "and their deeds"
0:41
meaning the deeds of good or evil
0:43
which they were the cause of bringing into existence during their lives.
0:47
This clarifies the high status of the caller to good,
0:51
and the low status of the caller to evil,
0:54
and the severity of the crime that pursues them after their death.

The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:01
When the son of Adam dies,
1:03
his deeds are cut off except for three:
1:06
a continuous charity,
1:08
or knowledge from which benefit is derived,
1:10
or a righteous child who supplicates for him.
1:13
Narrated by Muslim.
1:15
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
1:18
Whoever establishes in Islam a good Sunnah,
1:21
he will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him,
1:25
without diminishing their rewards in any way.
1:28
And whoever establishes in Islam a bad Sunnah,
1:31
he will bear its sin and the sin of those who act upon it after him,
1:36
without diminishing their sins in any way.
1:40
Narrated by Muslim.
