INNALILAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJIOON
“To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.” (Quran 2:156)
Death in Islam is viewed as a transition from this temporary world to the eternal hereafter. Muslims believe that death is predetermined by Allah and that every soul shall taste death. Islamic funeral rites are simple, dignified, and should be performed as soon as possible after death.
For healthcare providers: If you are caring for a Muslim patient, please contact the local Islamic centre for guidance on Islamic procedures and requirements. Find your nearest Islamic centre
