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 transition death of my beloved friend Sister Leah Henton. What should have been a beautiful and dignified occasion became a heart breaking experience because of a decision that Leahs husband made that would leave her family especially her parents with heart breaking 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
