Hazrat said that there is a Hadith of Rasool Allah SAW which says that there are three things which continue to earn Thawab (eternal reward) for a person even after he has left this mortal world. The first is knowledge which he has left, and which people are still benefiting from. For example, a person wrote a book and people still read and earn from it, or he used to impart religious knowledge, and now his pupils are teaching others. The second is Sadaqa Jarya (everlasting charity), for example, someone built a mosque, or a madrassah, or a hospital or got a well dug which people are still benefitting from. People keep getting Thawab (eternal reward) from such deeds even after their death. And the third source of eternal rewards is pious offspring. As long as they continue to pray for their parents they will keep getting the reward for it even after their death.
