إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
“Verily we belong to Allah, and verily to Him do we return.”
Pietermaritzburg Muslim Burial Society.
Sayyiduna ‘Ali (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said,
“Whoever washes a deceased person, shrouds him, preserves him (from decaying), carries him and offers the funeral prayer for him, and does not disclose what he has seen, he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”
(Ibn Maajah 1462)
