reciting the Holy Quran ourselves, but we should enrol our children into Madrassa-tul-Madinah and make them lovers of the Quran too.

Etiquettes of a funeral

O devotees of the Prophet! Let us listen to the etiquettes of a funeral from the booklet of the Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, entitled ‘Murday kay Sadmay.’ First, let us listen to two sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1.   ‘When a person of Paradise passes away, Allah Almighty will not punish those who carry his funeral bier, those who walk behind him and those who offer his funeral prayer.’ (Musnad-ul-Firdaus, vol. 1, p. 282, Hadith 1108)

2.   ‘The first reward that will be given to the deceased believer after his death is that all of those who take part in his funeral will be forgiven.’ (Musnad-ul-Bazzaar, vol. 11, p. 86, Hadith 4796)

*   One should take part in a funeral for the pleasure of Allah Almighty, to fulfil a Fard, in order to bring happiness to the deceased and his family, and with other good intentions.

Announcement
