The Quran’s revelation on celestial-consciousness, the transient mortal existence of man and the inevitable continuum ‘cycle of demise’ of all living matter, brings into retrospect, the necessity of ‘guidelines & materials’ required for an ‘effective and dignified’ ‘burial & bereavement’ process & procedures.

This website is an attempt to provide the appropriate information required on the procedures of accessing the necessary materials, preparation and burial of a deceased Muslim. It shall also provide the ‘cordiality & conventions’ one requires, at an especially delicate incidence of life. Though we know this life is transitory, we chronically take for granted the hereafter & become resolutely reminded of the reality of demise when a loved one, a dear one, passes away.

The Islamic indoctrination on ‘demise’ is that; it is not the end of life, but an entrance from this transitory mortal existence to a living of providential-immortality of the hereafter. For a Muslim, the eventualities of this life constitute a ‘trial and test’ by which his eternal destiny is evaluated. For him, death is the return of the soul to its Creator, God, and the constant-consciousness of the reality of ‘death and the hereafter’ should enable one to maintain his life and deeds in perspective, and in preparedness, for what is to come forth.

One can respect that all beings possess the attribute of individual differences of opinions on the various aspects of ‘life & living’; hence, one may vary of its intuitions on any ‘field’ of life, including the matter of concern, relating to the information on this website. Thus with regard to such in mind, the aim of the information on this site is not to create a scenario of any form of disputation, but to clarify the corresponding views of the majority of Muslims. One can, but pray that God neutralises our religious zeal and disposition from improvident arguments & settle our hearts of serenity.

Many bereaved families are unfamiliar of any religious regulations, appropriate rites, conventions, of the preparation and burial of a deceased one, and no comprehensible assistance was made readily available to alleviate their dilemma. (and with the controversial views from different sources, makes the functioning of such an incident of greater embarrassment to themselves & others in general).

The intention of the material on this site is a ‘guideline’ to minimize ones paranoia with regard to dealing with, ‘demise & bereavement’. The information has been composed in a manner, such that it becomes easily translatable by the ‘average reader’. In order to maintain consistency and congruent legibility, the contents are divided into sections. Each section is a systematic extension of the preceding section, and only when all the sections are ‘summated’ together, can one unify the sections as a whole.
