Salat al-Janazah

Salat al-Janazah is the Islamic funeral prayer performed for a deceased Muslim. It is a collective act of worship that seeks mercy and forgiveness for the departed. The prayer involves standing in congregation, reciting specific supplications and verses from the Quran, and concluding with a silent supplication for the mercy of the deceased. It is typically performed at the funeral mosque or cemetery before burial. The prayer emphasizes humility, unity, and compassion, reflecting the Muslim belief in life's temporary nature and the importance of praying for the soul's peaceful transition to the afterlife.
