Funeral Preparation And The Path To Eternal Peace

Funeral Preparation
Death is the inevitable journey that every soul will embark upon, yet it is often neglected in our busy lives. Funeral preparation— Ghusal  (ritual washing), Kafan  (shrouding), and Dafan  (burial)—is not just about fulfilling Islamic obligations but also a reflection of how we lived our lives.

Ghusal
(Ritual Washing)
The Ghusl is the first step in preparing the deceased for their journey. This act of cleansing represents spiritual purification and dignity for the departed. Ghusal  is an essential act of purification in Islam that involves a full-body ritual washing to attain spiritual cleanliness. It is a practice that holds deep significance in both worship and daily life, as it prepares a Muslim to perform acts of devotion, such as prayer, in a state of purity.
Performed by family or trusted individuals of the same gender.
Symbolizes a return to Allah in a pure state, as we came into this world.
A meticulous process that involves washing the body with water three times, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ï·º.
I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now visit them, for they remind you of the Hereafter.
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned. (Quran 21:35)
Kafan (Shrouding)
The Kafan Kafan, or shroud, is a simple white cloth that covers the deceased, representing equality in death. Kafan refers to the shrouding of a deceased Muslim in simple, clean cloth as part of the Islamic funeral rites. It is a dignified and respectful preparation of the body for burial, symbolizing humility, equality, and readiness to meet Allah in the Hereafter.
For men: Three pieces of white cloth.
For women: Five pieces of white cloth.
The shroud signifies the simplicity of the Islamic approach to life and death, free from extravagance.
Wear white clothes, for they are the best of your clothes, and shroud your dead in them.
"The mutual rivalry for piling up worldly things diverts you, until you visit the graves." (Quran 102:1-2)
Dafan (Burial)
Recitation of duas (supplications) and reminders of Allah’s mercy.
A moment of reflection for those attending, emphasizing the transient nature of life.
The grave is a resting place, awaiting the Day of Judgment.
The grave is filled with earth, often by the hands of loved ones.
"Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned." (Quran 21:35)
