Janazah

Janazah is the Islamic funeral prayer performed to honor and guide a deceased Muslim's soul. It is a collective act of worship, usually comprising four takbirs (saying "Allahu Akbar") and supplications for the departed. The funeral prayer emphasizes the belief in resurrection and God's mercy. It is typically performed in a mosque or burial ground, with the body often washed, shrouded, and laid to rest facing Mecca. Janazah serves as both a spiritual duty and a communal act of remembrance, offering comfort to the grieving and reaffirming faith in divine will.
