When I Die Bury Me as a Muslim

In the profound tapestry of Muslim faith, the proper burial of a beloved soul weaves an intricate thread of spirituality and sanctity. It is an occasion both simple and profoundly beautiful, a tribute to a life lived in devotion. My journey to pen this booklet was ignited by a deeply personal experience, the heart-wrenching transition of my dear friend, Sister Leah Henton, into the realm beyond. What should have been a dignified and moving farewell transformed into a heartbreak, leaving indelible scars on her family, especially her grief-stricken parents. This poignant incident unfolded due to a decision made by Leah's husband, a decision that would forever alter the way their daughter, a devout Muslim, would be laid to rest. With unwavering dedication, this booklet is conceived to shine a light, to lend a helping hand, and to provide insight to Muslims and their non-Muslim counterparts in the intricate process of preparing and orchestrating the Janazah, the sacred funeral rites of our dearly departed Muslim loved ones. May the divine grace of Allah smile upon this humble endeavor, guiding us all toward a more profound understanding of the sacred rituals that unite us in the eternal embrace of faith.
