The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "The dead man in his grave is like a drowning man shouting for help, as he waits for a prayer to come to him from his father, his brother or his friend. When it comes it is more beloved to him than the world and all it contains. Indeed, the gifts of the living to the dead are prayer and the petitioning of Allah for His forgiveness."
[From Imam Ghazali's "The Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife"]
