Every muslim that prays can't do without reciting Suratul At-Taubah verses 128-129. The verses are generally known as Laqodi jakun rasulu to the end. Generally,they are recited when sending peace and blessing to the deads.
However,pondering on the verses,one observes that they are highly informative. Verse 128 opens with 'certainly a messenger has come from among yourselves',the messenger,Muhammad(SAW) who sleeps with you,dines with you,who is like you and who knows everything about you. The verse continues 'grievious to him is your falling into distress',the messenger(SAW) who abhors whatever can make you SAD,who wants you to be happy. Yet it continues 'excessively solicitous of you', seeking Allah's mercy for and upon you,supplicating unto Allah to help you all the time while forgetting about himself. Then 'to the believers,(he is)compassionate', he is extremely merciful,he has deep and hearty fondness in making believers happy.
On verse 129,it says ' but if they turn back',meaning if they don't obey the messenger(SAW),or reciprocate him by obeying the commands of Allah or whatever he commands them, then 'say:Allah is sufficient for me',meaning with Allah I have everything,'there is no God but He',meaning,nobody can measure up to Him,'on Him do I rely',meaning Allah is my Shield,Armour and Support,'He is the Lord of mighty power',meaning he can do all things.
Now,on these ayats,the followings are the observations:
1)The ayats address the welfare of believers
2)It relates to whatever event that is capable of making a believer sad
3)Note that ayat 128 mentions believer,ayat 129 also affirms that when it says 'say Allah is sufficient for me...'
4) There is attestation of belief.
In essence,that informs why people use it to send peace and blessing to the deads. Since,death is grievious and a loss to them,they use the verses to wish the deads even if they can't see them.
But,is that all benefit we can derive from the verses? No. No other verse turns sadness to joy than the two verses. The best example is an hadith:
A slave converted to islam when the prophet was in Makkah. Because he was a slave,his master imprisoned him for the conversion and so he was unable to migrate to Medinah with other people. But anytime a recognised muslim pass bye the back of the prison he (the prisoner) would send greetings to the prophet (SAW). Once the message got to the prophet(PBUH),he sent reply that the prisoner should recite Laqodijakun... all the time,that he would gain freedom.
He did as he was told. He gained freedom and even entered Medinah with some of his master's animals.
Hence,the verses takes believers away from whatever may make him sad. However,it is important that one must have a solid faith,an unshakeable believe in Allah and his messenger for it to effectively work.
One last note. The verses is highly efficacious where people dashed your hope,or where in pursuit of a goal,peope left you in the cold,or for the innocents in police custody.
A grieve may last longer if you fail to recite Laqodijaku. It is recited as:
'Ladodijaku rosulu min anfusikun,'azeezu 'alaehi month 'anitum 'aritsun 'alaekum bili muhmineena ro'uufun roheemum. Fain tawalao fa kul hasbiyallahu laa ilaha illa huwa alaehi tawakalitu wa huwa robbuli 'arshi li-azeem.'
