FUNERAL RITES In islam

‘The ultimate fact of life is death.’ This life on Earth is simply a stopover on the way to either paradise or damnation, depending on your viewpoint. As a full code of life, Islam offers a set of detailed guidelines for both the dying person and those who are responsible with completing the sacred responsibility of administering last rites. Muslims have strayed from the Prophet’s (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and Companions’ established practise due to non-Islamic influences (may Allah be pleased with them all). Many Muslims no longer understand or practise the required ceremonies, and they sometimes combine non-Islamic practises with the funeral ceremony.Funeral Rites in Islam was published by Dr. Bilal Philips to meet the needs of English-speaking Muslims, providing simple explanations and directions based solely on Islam’s primary sources—the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
