Transforming remembrance into lasting impact
Guidance on Janazah prayer, Islamic funeral etiquette, caring for the deceased, supplications and graveyard etiquette.
The funeral prayer is performed standing, without bowing or prostration. It generally includes four takbirs, praise of Allah, blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, supplication for the deceased and taslim. Follow the imam and local mosque's guidance on variations in practice.
Approach the funeral with dignity, sincerity and respect for the bereaved. Follow the congregation and mosque instructions, and avoid unnecessary disturbance.
Islamic funeral arrangements generally prioritise respectful washing (ghusl), shrouding (kafan), Janazah prayer and timely burial. Seek guidance from qualified local funeral services and scholars for practical requirements.
Pray for Allah's forgiveness and mercy for the deceased. Charity on their behalf and settling outstanding obligations may also be appropriate; seek scholarly guidance where needed.
Offer the prescribed greeting and supplicate for those buried there. Maintain respect, avoid stepping on graves and follow cemetery regulations.
