Is purgatory universal?The connection of the world with the soul

Imam Ali bin Musi Raza said:

“When a person visits the grave of the dead and recites Surah Qadr seven times for the soul then God forgives him and the soul.”(1)

There is a hadith that says that once the apostle Jesus passed one grave and found the person there to be in pain and punishment. A year later he passed that grave again but found it better and in peace. When he asked God about it he was told that this change was due to the good and pious deeds of the dead man’s son. He had repaired a road and given shelter to an orphan” (2)

Some hadith tell us that if a person establishes a good work or some thing evil he receives the benefit or the punishment as long as that continues. In the same the charity established by him (and continued by his progeny) has an ever lasting effect and benefit for the dead man. (3)

It is reported that Imam Sadiq said:

“There are six things that benefit the believer even after his death 1. A pious son who asks for forgiveness of his father; the Qura’n recited by his progeny, the water well that the dead man had made, the trees that he had planted and the running water that he made available to the people plus the good deed established by him and being followed by others. (4)
