Every week we hear of Muslims passing away in the community. Many of us have lost loves ones, and know that experiencing death is not easy. It can be a very distressing and confusing time for families. At such a time many questions arise: Who do we call to arrange washing and shrouding of the body? Where will the deceased be buried? What are the correct Islamic practices and which are cultural?
At such testing times there is little time to start studying these urgent matters. Being prepared for that day, can make all the difference, and provide the clarity to know what you should, and should not do.
This course covers every important aspect of this final chapter in a person’s life such as washing and shrouding the body, the funeral (janazah) prayer, the burial, offering condolences as well as understanding some of the fundamentals of inheritance law which often cause so many family feuds.
