what do you say in islam when someone dies
Hi Cr7, I would like to understand, what do you say in Islam when someone dies?
Hello, it's an important topic to know. In Islam, when someone dies, people often say 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un'. It means 'Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return'. It's a verse from the Quran acknowledging that everything happens according to the will of Allah.
That's really interesting. So it's a form of acceptance?
Yes, exactly. It signifies a Muslim's surrender and acceptance of Allah's will, regardless of the circumstances. The passing of a life, no matter how unbearable, is a part of Allah's plan.
Thank you for explaining. Is there anything else that is done or said after someone dies in Islam?
Yes, there are several customs followed. For instance, family and friends of the deceased may gather to pray for their deceased loved one, and it's also customary to offer condolences and support to the bereaved family. Most importantly, Muslims try to arrange for the burial as soon as possible.
