to punish those who carry his funeral bier, those who walk behind him and those who offer his funeral salah.”^[1]

2.    “The first reward that a believer receives after death is that all those who participate in his funeral salah are forgiven.”^[2]

*     We should participate in a funeral salah with good intentions, such as attaining the pleasure of Allah Almighty, fulfilling a farḍ, and bringing joy to the deceased and their loved ones.

*     While walking with the funeral bier, think of your own death and just how this person is being carried today, you will also be carried someday, and just like he will be buried in the earth soon, you will also be buried. Pondering like this is an act of worship and a means of attaining reward.

The remaining rulings pertaining to funeral salah will be mentioned in the study circles, so please take part to learn about them.
