Soul/spirit (Roh) visits their homes on Fridays? A myth or reality?

My grandfather died in 2020. After that, always on Friday night, for some reason, we start talking about him. Even if I did not know it is Friday night or Friday, I feel him or memories come to my mind. The same happens with my brother who died in 2022. I randomly feel them, think of them, and just check the day, and it’s Friday. This happens almost every Friday. Does this happen because I have that in my mind subconsciously? And how Islamic is the belief that souls(Roh) visit homes on Fridays?

      In Shia Islam, the belief that souls or spirits (Roh) visit their homes on Fridays is a controversial topic with varying opinions. Here are some points to consider:

       

      *Myth or Reality?*

       

      – Some Shia scholars and authors suggest that souls visit their homes on Fridays, but this belief is not universally accepted.

      – There is no explicit mention of this belief in the Quran or authentic Hadiths (Prophetic traditions).

      – Some consider this belief a myth or a form of superstition.

       

      *Supporting Views*

       

      – Some scholars interpret certain Hadiths as indicating that souls may visit their families on Fridays, but these interpretations are not conclusive.

      – A few books and articles mention this belief, but without providing solid evidence or scholarly consensus.

       

      *Opposing Views*

       

      – Many Shia scholars and authorities do not accept this belief, considering it unfounded or contrary to Islamic teachings.

      – The Quran and Hadiths emphasize the separation of the soul from the body after death, with no mention of regular visits to earthly homes.

       

      *Conclusion*

       

      In Shia Islam, the belief that souls visit their homes on Fridays is not a established doctrine and lacks consensus among scholars. While some may interpret certain Hadiths or texts as supporting this belief, it remains a topic of debate and speculation. It’s essential to approach such beliefs with caution and rely on credible sources and scholarly consensus.

      Soul/spirit (Roh) visits their homes on Fridays? A myth or reality?

      Assalamualaikum! I believe this is a controversial topic in every school of thought of Islam. So, here, question is that if it’s a controversial topic then what can we do or what should we do for the departed souls? And that is, the Dua e Maghfirat, which is being supported in every sect.

      Jazak Allah
