Islamic Burial (Janaza) Services
Death is the inevitable truth. Islam encourages its adherence to contemplate and be prepare for it with virtuous deeds. A companion once got up and said: O Prophet of Allah, who is the most sagacious and the most prudent among the people? He replied;
“Those who are most aware of death and prepare themselves for it. They are the wisest of people and will have honour in this world and a generous reward in the Hereafter”
Majority of Ulema are of the opinion that it’s the ‘collective obligation’ (Fardu Kifayah) of the Muslim community to carry out the last rites of a dead Muslim. Preparation of the dead for the burial include;
- Cleaning & Washing.
- Shrouding.
- Attending the funeral prayer
- Burying.
There are many registered Islamic Burial Service providers in Victoria. We recommend the community to contact the service providers directly or get advice from your local Imam.
