This book offers a profound and enlightening exploration of how to deal with dying and death according to the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In a time when cultural practices, local customs, and unverified traditions often overshadow true Islamic teachings, this work serves as a vital reminder of the importance of adhering strictly to the guidance found in the Qur’an and Sunnah—especially in matters as sensitive and significant as death.
The author approaches this critical subject with clarity, compassion, and a sincere desire to revive the authentic Islamic practices surrounding the end of life. He highlights not only the correct procedures and etiquettes as prescribed in Islam—from the moment of a person’s final illness, to death, burial, and mourning—but also warns against common religious innovations (bid’ah) that have become widespread across the Muslim world. These innovations, though sometimes rooted in good intentions, often deviate from the pure teachings of Islam and can lead to confusion, misguidance, or even sin.
