Islamic Funeral Services (Janazah) – Masjid Faizan-e-Aisha
In Islam, funeral rites (Janazah) are guided by Sharia (Islamic law) and emphasize simplicity, dignity, and community responsibility. While customs may vary regionally, the essential rites include:
• Ghusl (Bathing of the body)
• Kafan (Shrouding the body)
• Janazah Salah (Funeral Prayer)
• Burial
Janazah Prayer (Salah al-Janazah):
• It is a standing-only prayer.
• Performed while facing the Qibla.
• It is strongly encouraged to attend, even if the deceased is unknown to you, as it is a communal obligation (Fard Kifayah).
