Islamic Funerals

Michael Hawkins was very knowledgeable about different cultures and religions, along with their throw specific funeral practices. I was surprised at how many different types of funerals he had done. A few people asked about Islam and the practices involving an Islamic funeral. Hawkins gave a very detailed and accurate explanation on what goes on during the funeral of a Muslim. Hawkins explained that all Muslims are buried the identical way and that their funerals are very short, and simple. Islam, preaches equality of men and women along with the rich and the poor, and between different races and social classes, therefore, Muslims believe in Gods eyes all humans are the akin, so when they die they are buried in the same way. When a Muslim dies the funeral must be as concisely as possible. This means that if a person dies then the function should happen either the same day, or the next day. In Islam, the funerals consist of a prayer, called Salatul Janaza, which usually takes place at a Mosque.



The prayer is done in congregation lead by an Imam (religious scholar). The dead body is bathed and cleaned and then dictated in white sheet and wrapped up without a coffin. because all the people who prayed escort the body to the burial site. At the burial site the Imam will recite portions of the account book and make a prayer for the deceased along and withal pray for all Muslims who have passed before. Then the body is placed in the humans and everyone who is attending the funeral fills the hole in the earth with dirt. There is no music or any types of decorations.If you motivation to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
