The Final Rites: Fiqh of Dying, Death & Burial | Imam Tahir Anwar

MCC’s Islamic End of Life Talks (on death and dying) Playlist: http://mcceastbay.org/end-of-life In this Fiqh-us-Sunnah workshop, Imam Tahir Anwar aims to educate the participants about the correct theory and practical understanding of funeral preparation, according to the Quran and Sunnah. This talk was delivered at the Al-Maqasid at the 2013 Al-Maqasid Summer Retreat. It was delivered via the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California. In this video, Imam Tahir Anwar discusses what we possibly consider the most difficult subject to think about: death and dying. However, it’s also one of the most important subjects, not to mention a situation that we are all absolutely guaranteed to face, sooner or later. How much do you know about the fiqh of burial? Do you know what is the first call to make when someone dies? What sort of preparation do you need to make? Is there a religious significance to washing the shroud in Zamzam water? What sort of instructions should you give to your relatives? Is it really true that we must encourage a dying person to recite the testimony of faith? And is organ donation permissible? “There is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah, verily the pangs of death are severe!” [Bukhari] What you will learn: Sickness and the final moments Death and its reality Washing and shrouding with practical demonstrations Prayer over the dead and burial The Grave: Events within Visiting the graveyard Benefiting the dead Related innovations More MCC East Bay: Calendar of Events: http://www.mcceastbay.org/calendar Weekly Updates: http://www.mcceastbay.org/newsletter Support MCC: https://www.mcceastbay.org/sadaqa Facebook:   / mccpleasanton   Instagram:   / mcceastbay
