What are the Quranic surahs that save the deceased from the torment of the grave? And is the death of the deceased at dawn on Saturday considered Friday night? And does "the morning of Laylat al-Qadr" mean after the night has ended or before it has begun?
Firstly: There is no evidence in the Prophetic indicating specific surahs or verses, or particular adhkar, which, if recited by the living for the deceased, would have an effect in strengthening them during the questioning in the grave or protecting them from the torment of the grave. The greatest benefit the living can provide for the deceased is supplication (dua) and seeking forgiveness (istighfar) for them.
Secondly: According to Arab custom and Islamic , the night follows the day, not precedes it. For example, the night of Friday is the night that precedes the day of Friday, and the night of Saturday is the night that precedes the day of Saturday.
Thirdly: Based on the above, whoever dies at 1:00 AM on Saturday has died on the "night of Saturday," not the "night of Friday." Therefore, they are not covered by the that refers to the virtue of dying on Friday or the night of Friday, bearing in mind that the authenticity of this hadith is disputed.
