Funeral prayer

The funeral prayer, known as Salat al-Janazah in Islam, is a collective obligation performed to seek mercy for the deceased. It involves offering specific supplications while standing, typically outside the grave or at the mosque. Participants pray for forgiveness, mercy, and peace for the departed soul, acknowledging God's mercy and the transient nature of life. The prayer is a respectful, communal act that emphasizes compassion, humility, and spiritual reflection, serving as a final act of kindness and support for the departed and their loved ones.
