Most of us don't know what we are saying during Salat Al-janaaza ( Burial prayers)โ: Read carefully!
1- โAfter the First Takbeerโ: Recite Surat Al-Fatiha.
1. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
2. Alhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen
3. Ar-Rahmaanir-Raheem
4. Maaliki Yawmid-Deen
5. Iyyaaka na'budu wa lyyaaka nasta'een
6. Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqeem
7. Siraatal-lazeena an'amta 'alaihim ghayril- maghdoobi 'alaihim wa lad-daaalleen
2- โ After the Second Takbeer: Salat Al-Ibrahimiyya to the end, not Salat Fatih please.
โAllaahumma salli 'alaa Muhammadin wa 'alaa 'aali Muhammadin, kamaa sallayta 'alaa 'Ibraaheema wa 'alaa 'aali 'Ibraaheema, 'innaka Hameedun Majeed. Allaahumma baarik 'alaa Muhammadin wa 'alaa 'aali Muhammadin, kamaa baarakta 'alaa 'Ibraaheema wa 'alaa 'aali 'Ibraaheema, 'innaka Hameedun Majeedโ.
3- โ After the Third Takbeer: Pray for the dead but according how its narrated from our Prophet (S.A.W). One of them is:
โAllaahum-maghfir lihayyinaa, wa mayyitinaa, wa shaahidinaa, wa ghaa'ibinaa, wa sagheerinaa wa kabeerinaa, wa thakarinaa wa 'unthaanaa. Allaahumma man 'ahyaytahu minnaa fa'ahyihi 'alal-'Islaami, wa man tawaffaytahu minnaa fatawaffahu 'alal-'eemaani, Allaahumma laa tahrimnaa 'ajrahu wa laa tudhillanaa ba'dahuโ.
"O Allaah forgive our living and our dead, those who are with us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk. O Allaah, whomever you give life from among us give him life in Islam, and whomever you take way from us take him away in Faith. O Allaah, do not forbid us their reward and do not send us astray after them".
4- Then lastly after the Fourth Takbeerโ: Some scholars say to recite general supplications for yourself, family, friends, and all Muslims during this period.
5- Then end by saying one Tasleem to the right (โAssalaamu โalaykum wa rahmat-Allaahโ). Doing it on both sides as in regular prayer is also okay.
โPlease share to remind others.
May Allah grants us peaceful death with our last words be SHAADA... Alllahumma Ameen
