When I Die, Bury Me as a Muslim

The proper burial of a Muslim is a very spiritual and sacred part of our worship. One should seek to understand these rites, which makes for a simple and beautiful occasion. I was inspired to write this booklet after the transitiondeathof my beloved friend Sister Leah Henton. What should have been a beautiful and dignified occasion became a heartbreaking experience because of a decision that Leahs husband made, which would leave her family, especially her parents, with heartbreaking memories of how their daughter, a Muslim, was laid to rest and buried. The purpose of this booklet is to assist and enlighten Muslims and non-Muslim family members in the preparing and arranging of the Janazah (funeral) of our deceased Muslim loved ones. May Allah be pleased with my humble effort. Jamella Jihad
