Forgiveness of Funeral ParticipantsDear Islamic brothers! Did you notice how beneficial participationin the funeral al of the pious people is! Whenever we get achance or even better, making effort to get such a chance, weshould participate in funeralal of the Muslims. Ourparticipation in funeral of a pious person may bring about ourforgiveness in the Hereafter. How immense Alls mercy is!He forgives not only the deceased but also the attendees of hisfuneral! Therefore, a rat Sayyidun Abdull bin Abbs

reports that the Holy Prophet said,The very first reward given to the true believer on his death isthat all the participants of his funeralal are forgiven.(Shuub-ul-Imn, V7, P7, ad No. 258)

First Gift in the Grave

A blessed ad of the Exalted Prophet says,When a true believer enters his grave, the very first gift givento him is that all the participants of his funeralal are forgiven.(Kanz-ul-Umml, V15, P595)

awb of accompanying the funerala rat Sayyidun Dwd humbly asked All ,

Y All ! What is the awb of accompanying the funeralmerely for Your pleasure? All replied, The day whenhe dies, the angels will accompany his funeral procession and Iwill forgive him.(Shar -us- udr, P101)

awb Equivalent to Mount Uuda rat Sayyidun Aburara reports that the Prophet

of Rama, the Intercessor of Umma said,The one who departed from home to accompany a funeral(considering it as a duty of believers and with the intention to earnawb), offered funeralal and accompanied the funeral tillburial, awb of two Qris written for him. Each Qrisequivalent to mount Uud. There is one Qrawb for the

person who returns after funeralal (without participationin the burial).( a Muslim, V1, P307)

The Funeralal has Admonitiona rat Sayyidun Abar Ghifr narrated that the

beloved and blessed Prophet said to me, Visitthe graves, it will remind you of the Hereafter and bathe thedeceased as touching the mortal body (dead body) is a greatlesson and offer the funeralal so that it makes you gloomy,for a gloomy person is under the shadow of All anddoes pious deeds.(Al-Mustadrak-lil- kim, V1, P11, ad 71435)

What to Recite on Seeing a Funeral!After the death of a rat Sayyidun Malik bin Anas , someone saw him in a dream and asked, How did All treat you? He replied, I was blessed with forgiveness jusbecause of a sentence whicha rat Sayyidun Umn-e-Ghan

used to say on seeing a funeral: [Pure is He (from all defects / limitations) who is alive and will never die ]. Hence, I also used to recite the same sentence on seeingfuneral; All forgave me because of reciting it.(Derived from I y-ul-Ulm, V5, P266)

The Funeralal is Far -e-Kifya The funeral al is Far-e-Kifya, i.e. if even a single personoffered it, everyone would be relieved of the obligation; if noone offered, all those who were aware of it will be sinners

shoes as well as the part of the earth beneath them must bepure, while, in case of offering theal placing the feet uponthe shoes having taken them off, the purity of the sole of theshoes and the ground is not necessary. In reply to a question,Al a rat says, If the place was impure due to urineetc. or those who offered theal wearing such shoes whose

soles were not pure, theiral would not be valid. It is,therefore, safer to offer theal keeping the feet upon shoeshaving taken them off so that theal would not be affectedeven if the sole of the shoes or the earth beneath is impure.(Fatw-e-Razavyya, V9, P188)

(Durr-e-Mukhtr, Rad-dul-Mu tr, V3, P131)

If One Missed Some part of CongregationalFuneral al, thenThe Masbq (the person who has missed some of the Takbrt)will say his remaining Takbrt after the Imm has performedSalm on either side.

etc.(Ghunya-tul-Mustaml, P537)If a person comes after the fourthTakbr, he may join theal (before the Imm performs Salm),utter Takbr three times after Imms Salm(Durr-e-Mukhtr, Rad-dul-Mu tr, Vol-3, P136)and then perform Salm.
