funeral fund
يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثَةٌ: أهْلُه ومَالُه وعَمَلُه، فَيَرْجِعُ اِثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى وَاحِدٌ: يَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ
(عن أنس رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً)
"Three things follow the dead: His family, his property and his deeds. Two of them return, one remains. His family and property return, but his deeds remain."
(Narrated from Enes bin Malik)
O Muslim,
Death is right and there is no remedy. Allah Almighty has mentioned death in many verses of the Holy Quran. The reckoning begins when a person is placed in the grave. The calculation is very difficult. That's when regret begins. If he was busy with worship and obedience while he was alive, he will be at ease in the grave. Our Prophet (pbuh) said, "The grave will either be a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hell." May my Lord grant us all peace in the grave.
There are funerals where the community attending the funeral prayer benefits because the deceased is a parent. There are also funerals where the deceased person benefits because there is a saint among the congregation attending the funeral prayer. That's why it's so important to send him off on his last journey with competent hands. It is a great blessing to bid farewell to those who are people of prayer and knowledge, under the leadership of teachers and students. Because God Almighty kept them close to Him by addressing them as "Yâ Ahlî (O my people)" in the Holy Hadith.
By becoming a member of the Funeral Fund, you also become a member of DIKID (Det Islamske Kultursenter i Drammen), that is, the Islamic Cultural Centre.
The funeral fund follows the religious, legal and official procedures at the time of death, and according to the will of the person, the person is buried in the desired place by qualified Hocaefendis by performing the Funeral Prayer, reading the Holy Quran and giving suggestions. If there is no will, he is buried in the place decided by the family. Hatim is recited for the deceased every year.
More information will be added soon.
