Funeral Rites in Islam and Life in the Grave

Salaams everyone...

Here are the links to two more very useful and informative books that i came across..on subjects that many of us may know little about...

With regards to funeral rites...the folllowing book had EVERYTHING one would need to know about funerals...how they are conducted and the rites of the deceased...i believe it's something we should all learn and know as we never know when a loved one may pass away or we may be called upon to perform these rites..

This book is titled "Funeral Rites in Islam" and can be downloaded at:

Another important part of our lives is the journey from dunya to aakhira - life in the grave...many of us read about death but few may really know about what awaits us in the grave and what we can do in THIS world to make THAT part of our journey as peaceful as possible...this next book really opened my eyes and clearly laid out what every muslim should know about his/her time in the grave...inshallah it will help you learn more too....

The book is titled "The Grave - Punishments and Blessings" and looks at the following areas:

"Question abound about what happens after death. In western societies, in particular, there is a great deal of speculation on these matters. Mulsims, however, have answers to these quetions. Islam tells us what we can expect when we have finally made our exit from this world; we are also given ample guidance as to how we may best prepare ourselves and earn the rewards of Paradise in the Hereafter. In this book the author outlines the Islamic teaching on death and the grave. It is an essential reading for any Muslim who wants to know more about the topic from the authentic sources of Islam."
