HOW TO PRAY THE FUNERAL PRAYER

1. First Takbir: Say “Allahu Akbar”, then recite Surah Al-Fatiha.

2. Second Takbir: Say “Allahu Akbar”, then recite Salat upon the Prophet (SAW), preferably the Salat al-Ibrahimiyya.

3. Third Takbir: Say “Allahu Akbar”, then make du‘a for the deceased, for example:

“Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa ‘aafihi wa’fu anhu…”

(O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, pardon him, and grant him well-being).

4. Fourth Takbir: Say “Allahu Akbar”, then make a general du‘a, asking Allah to forgive all the dead Muslims, and also for ourselves who are still alive.

After completing, end the prayer with Tasleem (salutation of peace).

Note: If the deceased is a man, the Imam should stand aligned with his head.

If the deceased is a woman, the Imam should stand at the middle of her body.

May Allah forgive us all and grant us Jannah. Ameen
